A stage collapsed during stormy weather at a Belgian music festival, killing at least four people, local media say.

Television pictures from the Pukkelpop festival, near the town of Hasselt, east of Brussels, showed fallen stage rigging and people scrambling for cover.

About 60,000 people were said to be at the event.

It follows the deaths of five people in the US when high winds caused a stage to collapse at a music festival.

The TV images from Belgium showed rain-soaked festval-goers bracing against strong winds.

Belgian media reported that trees were uprooted at the festival and smashed into stage rigging, bringing it down.
