The BBC report that at least two people have been killed at the Pukkelpop music festival in Belgium following a flash storm that caused the collapse of two stages.

Approximately 60,000 people were believed to be at the festival - one of the largest in Europe - with the mayor of Hasselt, venue to Pukkelpop, claiming 40 people were injured according to AP.

The tragic news follows similar saddening news last week from the US, when a stage collapsed in high winds at a festival in Indiana - killing five people.
