Date: 22nd – 24th August, 2025 | Location: Haarlemmermeer (near Amsterdam)
The Netherlands’ most celebrated electronic music festival prepares for its 32nd edition with a remarkable transformation. Mysteryland 2025 promises three days of world-class dance music from August 22-24, 2025, at Haarlemmermeer near Amsterdam, featuring an artist roster that spans every corner of the electronic music spectrum.
This year marks a significant shift for the festival, with major changes to both the venue layout and artist programming. More than 100,000 music enthusiasts from over 100 countries will gather to experience what organizers describe as a complete reimagining of the Mysteryland concept.
Headlining Artists Showcase Electronic Music Diversity
The 2025 artist selection represents a careful balance between established icons and rising stars across multiple electronic genres. Eric Prydz returns to deliver his signature progressive house compositions, creating the atmospheric soundscapes that have made him a festival favorite worldwide. His performances consistently draw massive crowds who appreciate his meticulous approach to track selection and mixing.
Hardwell takes center stage with his high-energy big room productions that have defined modern festival experiences. His return signals the festival’s commitment to providing the explosive moments that create lasting memories for attendees. The Dutch DJ’s ability to read crowds and build energy throughout his sets makes him perfect for the festival’s new main stage concept.
Trance music receives proper representation through Paul van Dyk, whose decades of experience continue to influence new generations of producers and fans. His uplifting melodic approach provides the emotional peaks that trance devotees seek at major festivals.
The lineup extends beyond these headliners to include FISHER, whose tech house anthems have dominated dance floors globally. Marlon Hoffstadt brings his modern trance sensibilities, appealing particularly to younger festival-goers who’ve embraced the genre’s recent revival.
Techno enthusiasts can anticipate powerful performances from Indira Paganotto and Patrick Mason, both representatives of the genre‘s current evolution. Their boundary-pushing approaches to electronic music production reflect the festival’s dedication to presenting both commercial appeal and underground credibility.
For those seeking harder electronic styles, OGUZ delivers industrial-influenced sounds while SNTS provides darker, more hypnotic experiences. This range ensures the festival caters to every preference within the electronic music community.
Mysteryland 2025 Full Lineup Table
Revolutionary Festival Layout Centers Around Iconic Pyramid
The most significant change for 2025 involves repositioning the festival’s famous pyramid structure as the primary performance venue. Previously serving as a secondary stage, this architectural landmark now anchors the entire festival experience as the main stage location.
This transformation allows for a more diverse musical programming approach, with the pyramid hosting artists across multiple genres rather than being dedicated to a single style. The change reflects modern festival trends toward genre-blending experiences that expose audiences to new sounds throughout the event.
Festival organizers have redesigned the entire grounds layout to reduce walking distances between performance areas. This practical improvement addresses one of the most common attendee concerns about large-scale festivals. Shorter distances between stages mean festival-goers can experience more artists without exhausting themselves navigating vast spaces.
The redesign maintains Mysteryland‘s reputation for hidden discoveries and intimate performance spaces. Smaller venues remain scattered throughout the grounds, creating opportunities for spontaneous musical encounters away from the main crowds.
Resort-Style Camping Creates Festival Holiday Experience
Mysteryland‘s camping option has evolved into a resort-style experience located directly on the festival grounds for 2025. The camping area features natural amenities including a sandy beach area and swimming lake, creating a vacation atmosphere that extends beyond the musical programming.
With capacity limited to under 1,000 camping spots, the experience maintains an exclusive feel while providing luxury amenities typically associated with high-end festival packages. The natural setting includes mature trees and landscaped areas that provide shade and relaxation spaces during daytime hours.
Early booking is essential for camping packages, as the limited capacity typically results in quick sellouts. The integration of camping directly into the festival grounds eliminates transportation concerns while creating a more cohesive multi-day experience.
Environmental Responsibility Through Green Energy Innovation
Mysteryland continues its environmental leadership through sustainable energy solutions that power the entire festival operation. The locally generated green power grid, established at Haarlemmermeer two years ago, provides nearly 100% renewable energy for all festival activities.
This achievement represents remarkable progress for large-scale events, which traditionally consume enormous amounts of electricity. The festival’s commitment extends to decorative elements, incorporating recycled and repurposed materials from previous Mysteryland editions and other ID&T Group events.
These sustainability initiatives position Mysteryland as an industry leader in environmental responsibility while demonstrating that large-scale entertainment can operate with minimal ecological impact.
Spectacular Closing Shows Feature Advanced Technology
Weekend finale performances at Mysteryland have become legendary for their integration of multiple technological elements. The 2024 edition established new standards through coordinated drone displays, fireworks, 3D visual projections, and synchronized lighting systems.
The 2025 closing shows promise even more ambitious productions, with Saturday’s finale featuring Hardwell and Sunday’s conclusion presenting a dedicated Mysteryland finale experience. These performances represent significant investments in production technology and creative planning.
The closing shows serve as culminating experiences that provide final shared memories for the festival community before returning to daily life.
Festival Heritage Spans Three Decades of Electronic Music
Since launching in 1993, Mysteryland holds the distinction of being the world’s longest-running electronic music festival. This history provides credibility and cultural significance that newer festivals struggle to match.
The festival’s track record includes performances by some of electronic music’s most influential artists, including Tiësto, Martin Garrix, Carl Cox, Charlotte de Witte, Armin van Buuren, Adam Beyer, Nervo, and Avicii. This artist roster represents electronic music’s evolution across multiple decades and genres.
Mysteryland‘s programming philosophy encompasses the full electronic music spectrum, from traditional house and techno to contemporary EDM, hardstyle, Latin-influenced electronic, pop crossovers, urban sounds, and Afrobeats. This diversity reflects the global nature of modern electronic music and ensures broad appeal across cultural and generational boundaries.
Ticket Information and Festival Preparation
Tickets for Mysteryland 2025 become available February 26th through mysteryland.com, marking the official start of festival season preparation. Given the event’s popularity and limited capacity, early ticket purchases are recommended.
The festival’s motto captures its forward-looking philosophy:
“Yesterday is history, today is a gift, tomorrow is a Mysteryland.“
This perspective emphasizes the festival’s role in creating future memories rather than dwelling on past achievements.

Mysteryland 2025 represents both continuation of a proud tradition and bold steps toward the future of festival experiences, combining musical excellence with environmental responsibility and innovative venue design.
