If you're an avid music fan, you would know that Tomorrowland is one festival that is definitely on everyone's bucket-list.
That dream experience ended in terror for over 22, 000 people when the stage went up in flames.
Firefighters rushed to the Tomorrowland festival in Santa Coloma de Gramenet in northeastern Spain, and eventually managed to extinguish the blaze, they said in a statement.
A total of 22,143 people had to be evacuated from the festival, they added. Luckily no one was injured by the blaze.
Footage of the incident shows one side of the stage consumed by giant flames, a shower of sparks raining down as people ran away and black smoke billowing up.
