- People were forced to evacuate Barcelona festival UNITE With Tomorrowland yesterday after a fire broke out at the main stage. The right-hand side of the stage caught fire at around 10 PM while Armin Van Buuren's headline set was being broadcast live from the flagship edition of Tomorrowland in Belgium. The exact cause is unconfirmed, though the organisers put it down to a "technical malfunction." All 22,000 spectators were evacuated from Parc De Can Zam with no reported injuries. EDM stars Steve Aoki, Ingrosso and Afrojack were also on the bill. Watch a video of the fire.
