The inferno had almost completely destroyed the main stage, called 'Orbyz' Wednesday evening, with dramatic footage showing the moment the site exploded into a fireball, before a gigantic plume of smoke filled the air and fireworks exploded in all directions into the sky and over the roofs of nearby houses.
While the fire 'severely damaged' the main, ice-themed stage, no individuals were injured in the incident.
