Tomorrowland is no ordinary festival. It’s the most prestigious electronic music event in the world, drawing in hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the globe and Sarens is proud to help make it happen year after year.
In 2025, our role took on a whole new meaning.
Sarens was already on site with a fleet of telescopic cranes to support the original build of the festival’s legendary Mainstage, working under the coordination of the Tomorrowland production team. As with previous editions, we provided flexible and mobile equipment—ranging from 40T to 250T cranes—and a skilled crew to help bring the creative vision to life.
But disaster struck on the opening weekend: a fire broke out, devastating the original Mainstage and undoing two years of design and preparation in a matter of hours. It was a heartbreaking moment for everyone involved but the Tomorrowland team acted fast, activating an emergency response plan to rebuild.
Sarens stayed on site to support the rapid construction of a replacement Mainstage, helping lift and position critical structural elements so the show could go on. Within hours, a new version of the stage was in place thanks to tireless collaboration, resourcefulness, and the drive to deliver for the audience.
“We initially supported the positioning of the main stage between the end of May and early July—it was a full-time job. When we were called back to help after the last-minute disaster, we knew we had to act fast—and that we could deliver. With 600,000 people counting on a great experience, canceling the event wasn’t an option. We mobilised a 200T, 150T, 100T, and 70T crane—our trusted allies in resolving the issue. Alongside them, six skilled crane operators from the Sarens team were on the ground. We’re proud to have been part of the solution, said Sarens crane operator, Christophe Langers.
Once again, Sarens cranes were there not just to build a structure but to help rebuild a dream.
We are honoured to have supported this extraordinary effort, and proud of every crew member and crane that stood behind the magic of Tomorrowland 2025.
