Want to find out more about what to do while you're at Mysterland Festival? 

In the ever-shifting landscape of global music festivals, few names resonate with the historical weight and enduring magic of Mysteryland. Hailing from the Netherlands, it proudly holds the title of the world's longest-running electronic music festival, a testament to its pioneering spirit and remarkable ability to evolve while captivating generations of music lovers. Since its inception, it has grown from a national gathering into a global pilgrimage, drawing vast, diverse crowds from across the globe to its enchanting home near Amsterdam.

The festival's journey began in 1993, emerging as one of the very first large-scale events dedicated primarily to the burgeoning sounds of house music. It was a bold move, taking the rhythms of the underground club scene into an open-air festival format. After a few nomadic early years exploring different locations across the Netherlands, Mysteryland found its permanent sanctuary around 2003 in the Haarlemmermeerse Bos, specifically on the grounds of a former Floriade horticultural exhibition. This location, with its lush greenery, sparkling ponds, and forestry hills, became intrinsically linked to the festival's identity, providing a naturally magical canvas that enhances the overall experience.

While born from house, Mysteryland's musical heart rapidly expanded. It transformed into a comprehensive showcase of the electronic music spectrum, a sonic universe encompassing everything from driving techno and euphoric trance to hardstyle's power, big room anthems, groovy house variations, and even hip hop and R&B. This diversity unfolds across numerous stages, often more than eleven, each meticulously curated with its own distinct vibe and often hosted by leading labels or artist collectives. This multi-stage approach invites exploration, allowing attendees to wander between vastly different sonic worlds, discovering new sounds and artists along the way. Year after year, the festival attracts electronic music royalty, featuring titans like Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Carl Cox, Armin van Buuren, Charlotte de Witte, and countless others, while also championing emerging talent.

But Mysteryland offers far more than just music. It crafts an immersive world designed to stimulate all senses. The grounds become an open-air gallery filled with intriguing art installations, while the stage designs themselves are legendary - elaborate, imaginative structures ranging from colossal, nature-inspired pyramids built with sustainable materials like bamboo to fantastical mainstages resembling giant arks or symbolic mystery boxes. Hidden stages tucked away in forests offer intimate, thematic rave experiences. Cutting-edge light shows, lasers, and spectacular end-of-night finales featuring fireworks and even drone displays add to the sensory feast.

The experience deepened significantly when Mysteryland expanded into a multi-day event with camping around 2015. The sprawling campsite becomes a temporary village, fostering a strong sense of community with its own amenities, activities, and even dedicated pre-parties and afterparties. Within this, the Healing Garden offers a sanctuary for wellness, providing massages, meditation, and yoga - a space for balance amidst the energy. This commitment to the attendee experience is mirrored by a growing dedication to sustainability, with significant efforts in green energy, waste reduction, and recycling woven into the festival's operations.

At its core, Mysteryland operates under the philosophy: "Yesterday is history. Today is a gift. Tomorrow is a Mystery!". This mantra infuses the festival with an atmosphere of joyful presence, open-mindedness, and collective euphoria. It's a celebration of friendship, freedom, music, and the magic of the present moment. For over three decades, Mysteryland has not just hosted parties; it has created worlds, nurtured a global community, and consistently proven that while its history is rich, its future remains an exciting, unfolding mystery.
