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 masked man, Claptone.

Last week, Mysteryland USA leaked out a series of spotlight artists in anticipation of its phase two lineup. With performers like Art Department, Kerri Chandler, Ty Dolla $ign, Lido, and Joris Voorn already established, the phase two rollout is an exceptional broadcast of the festival’s endeavor to bring the sounds of today and tomorrow to fans of every genre. Attendees will now be treated to the added sounds of Ryan Hemsworth, Eagles & Butterflies, Hudson Mohawke, Matthew Dear, XXYYXX, and over 40 more artists that are all set to bring their talents to the festival’s third consecutive year in Bethel Woods, NY on June 10th-13th.
Established in 1993 in the Netherlands, the Mysteryland festival has grown exponentially as one of the premiere camping festivals in the world, and has extended its reach in the past couple of years to both Chile and the United States. Remaining reminiscent of the infamous Woodstock affair, the USA version of Mysteryland has shown time and time again that it continues to exist as a festival based on creativity, love, talent, and sustainability.
