Reports indicate at least four people are dead after a stage toppled at a Belgian music festival on Thursday.

Pukkelpop had tens of thousands of people in attendance when a storm moved through, bringing trees and a stage to the ground, according to Twitter and multiple media sources.

The band Smith Westerns tweeted, “Stage collapsed max almost got crushed by the (trees).”

Smith Westerns are scheduled to play Indianapolis on Oct. 3 with the Arctic Monkeys.

Panic at the Disco also tweeted about the event: “Everyone at pukkelpop, first of all, we hope you are safe. We will play if they let us, but it’s not our call. We’ll keep U posted -Spencer.”

The news comes days after a gust of wind from an incoming storm brought down the stage at the Indiana State Fair’s Grandstand, killing five and wounding more than 40 other people.
