Strong winds and large hail knocked down the main stage framing at this year’s annual Pukkelpop. Six are reported dead.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Early reports out of Belgium and Holland Thursday are claiming that six people were killed and others injured as a tent collapsed at an annual music festival called Pukkelpop.<\/p>\n

The BBC is now reporting four were killed, details are still emerging as to number of dead and injured.<\/p>\n

According to Holland\u2019s Trouw.com, one of the tents where a band was playing was blown down after a storm, resulting in chaos and injuries.<\/p>\n

Per Belgian radio station Studio Brussel, ambulances have been in and out of the festival and the remainder of today\u2019s festival has been canceled.<\/p>\n

The sudden storm Thursday caused the Chateau Tent, where American band Smith Westerns played, or were about to play, to collapse. The band wrote on Twitter: “Stage collapsed max almost got crushed by the tress, I hope pukkelpop has insurance bc all our [stuff] is broke.”<\/p>\n

A brief but fierce storm produced strong winds and large hail which brought down trees, per reports. Additionally, a sound tower beside the main stage came loose.<\/p>\n

The annual festival’s lineup this year includes many American bands, including 30 Seconds to Mars, Foo Fighters and Rise Against.<\/p>\n

Jared Leto tweeted that “four stages were down” and that it was “still raining” Thursday from the festival. “Be safe,” he added.<\/p>\n
