Burning Man's Orgy Dome destroyed(Image: Instagram)
Nevada's infamous Burning Man festival, which has been struck with bad luck in their 2025 run so far, has updated fans that their 'Orgy Dome' was destroyed by a dust storm that hit the festival grounds.
On the Orgy Dome's official Instagram page, Burning Man shared, "Our build team worked so hard this past week to *erect* our lovely space. Unfortunately, the winds yesterday undid all that labor and wrecked our structure. We are still here and thankfully safe, we hope to gift the playa some workshops and will keep you updated @burningman #burningman #burningman2025"
Viewers immediately shared their thoughts, as many Burning Man fans have been left disappointed by the way the festival has turned out this year. One commented, “That’s Jesus Christ saving people from std’s.” It comes after a model was controversially kicked out of the Orgy Dome after witnessing something 'disgusting'.
"The wind is doing the lord's work," another shared, with one more adding, "Jesus said, ‘NOT TODAY YOU HEATHENS!’"

Others were more supportive, as one local commented, "Sending y’all so much love. We are your neighbors, Viking Bar 2:50 & E mountainside. Serving cold craft brews all week. Stop by for a drink and a chat. We love your camp!"

"Wow. Look at all these sad people in the comments having nothing better to do than give kind and caring people a hard time. Keep on keepin' on @orgydome ya'll put on great events and are so incredibly welcoming. Was at the fundraiser in portland and it was safe comfortable and fun. Couldn't think of a better group of people than ya'll," another supporter added.
The festival's Orgy Dome describes themselves as "a sex positive community on a mission to educate the world about consent and the importance of its practice beyond intimate space."
The dome provides festival-goers with the opportunity to partake in sex with two or more people.

Inside, those interested will find mattresses, drapes, comfortable couches, and several pillows.
But, the unlucky weather made it impossible for the event to go on, as raging dust storms knocked the dome to the ground.
The dust and 50 mph wind gusts ripped through Black Rock City in the Nevada desert where the festival takes place.
The storm wreaked havoc on campsites and caused severe travel delays in the area. The National Weather Service issued a dust storm advisory on Saturday evening, sharing that “a wall of blowing dust” was headed towards the grounds.
Four minor injuries have been reported as a result of the weather, which a Burning Man spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.
For those who were already inside of the festival, the harmful dust ripped through the desert playa, which also destroyed many campsites and scattered belongings across the grounds.
The official Burning Man page took to X to warn visitors on Saturday, "If you are in Black Rock City, batten down the hatches, take care of your camp, and do not drive."
Another attendee took to Facebook, writing, “50 mile an hour sustained wind for over an hour with higher gusts. The desert is always trying to kill you,” adding that it was “definitely the scariest experience” during Burning Man.
An estimated 70,000 people were set to travel to Black Rock City for the festival, which runs through September 1.
