BRUSSELS (AP) - Belgian media say a storm has hit an open air music festival east of the capital killing at least 4 people.

Video from the site showed stage equipment dangling in high winds as rain-soaked concertgoers ran for cover.

The DH daily says the storm hit the Pukkelpop festival near the town of Hasselt on Thursday.



The festival’s website lists a number of stages where concerts and performances were to be held during the three day event, that started on Thursday.

Reports say some 60,000 people are attending the event.
