Mysteryland is a series of electronic dance music festivals held by the Netherlands-based promoter ID&T. Being the first of its kind in the country when it was established, its organizers have billed the event as the oldest dance music festival in the Netherlands. It has most recently been held at Haarlemmermeerse Bos in Haarlemmermeer; an exhibition ground that hosted the 2002 edition of the Dutch gardening festival Floriade.
It is traditionally held on the final Saturday of August, and in 2017, this date falls on August 26 and 27. Since 2015, the festival has turned from a one-day to a two-day event with a camping.
In 2011, an international edition of Mysteryland was held in Chile, the first to be held outside the Netherlands.
Over the Memorial Day weekend in May 2014, the first U.S. edition of Mysteryland was held at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the site of the notable festival held in 1969. Headliners included Kaskade, Moby, Steve Aoki, Dillon Francis, and Flosstradamus. It was after the inaugural mysteryland USA that the bird which is part of the festivals logo was coined the name ralphie
