Huge fire engulfs stage at Tomorrowland music festival

Festival-goers at the Tomorrowland Unite in Spain have been evacuated due to a huge fire breaking out on the stage, just hours before Steve Aoki was set to headline.

Over 22,000 people have been forced to flee tonight's event in Barcelona as a result.

One eyewitness reported on social media that the stage simply "just exploded".

Music fans could be seen dashing to safety from the front of the main stage as they panicked and realised what was happening, but according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, no injuries have yet been reported. 

Video footage shows the dramatic scenes of smoke billowing into the sky after the left hand side of the main stage caught fire.
