The third iteration of Mysteryland USA is right around the corner, and as we count down the days until June 10th, there’s a lot to plan, and even more to listen to. The ID&T-produced festival has already unveiled two phases of its stand-out lineup, and this year promises to be the biggest and best edition of the festival in America to date. Over the course of two days, nearly 100 artists will call Bethel Woods home, from headliners like ODESZA, Skrillex, and Bassnectar, to stellar undercard offerings like Gesaffelstein, Claude VonStroke, REZZ, amongst others, spread across six stages of bumping music. With so many can’t-miss artists to see, and even more activities to do at the festival, it’s tough to decide which artists take priority, and which ones will fall by the wayside, and schedule conflicts only serve as yet another source of anxiety before the festival.

In a new editorial series leading up to this year’s Mysteryland USA, we’re spotlighting an artist on the lineup that we consider can’t-miss for the weekend. Whether its because of a phenomenal live show, a brand new album, or stellar DJing skills, we hope that this spotlight series will help you wade through some of teh schedule conflicts easier. You can get your tickets to Mysteryland here.

This week’s Mysteryland USA spotlight is the SNL comedian, Kyle Mooney.

For the first time in Mysteryland USA history, a Comedy Club Takeover will be taking place in the Spiegeltent on the first day of the festival, Friday June 10th. Hosting the event will be renowned comedian Kyle Mooney, a third season cast member of Saturday Night Live. Mooney attended the University of Southern California for film, and now currently resides in New York City. Besides his SNL role, he is a member of the sketch comedy group Good Neighbor with fellow comedian Beck Bennet, Nick Rutherford and Dave McCary. He’s been a number of a feature films as well such as Zoolander 2 and Hello My Name Is Doris, and starred in guest spots on various television show such as NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” FX’s “Wilfred” and HBO’s “Hello, Ladies.”

To support the good vibes and nonstop laughter commonly present at Mysteryland, Mooney will be featuring special comedic guests throughout the day that will bring an overall new and exciting addition to New York’s prime electronic music arts festival taking place June 10th-13th.
