Mystery Land

I came about the idea writing about festivals and events, because I went to the festival Mystery Land last summer. I was overwhelmed by seeing the greatness of it. It’s quite a job to organize such a big festival. I want to tell you more about Mystery Land and my experience from it.

Q-dance @ Mystery Land 2010
Mystery Land is a dance festival in the Netherlands since 1993. First they had different locations, but nowadays it’s always at Haarlemmermeer. Mystery Land is the oldest dance party in the Netherlands. Each year there is a different line-up with different DJ’s. In former times Mystery Land was only a house festival, but later it develops into a festival with different styles. The most important styles are Techno, House, Dance, Hardstyle, Urban, Hip-hop and Electro. With rather 60.000 visitors each year, Mystery Land belongs to one of the leading festivals in the world. Mystery Land has an all-embracing program of music, dance, art and theatre in combination with workshops, a various offer of food from all kind of cultures and al lot of other surprising objects. The slogan of Mystery Land is: “Yesterday is history. Today is a gift. Tomorrow is Mystery!”

Mystery Land is a very expensive festival (it costs €65,-), but I think it was well worth it. I had a great day and luckily the weather was good. There were different stages with different music styles. Most of the time I was at Q-dance, this is after the main stage the biggest stage of Mystery Land.
