Memorial Day weekend is just nine days away and with that comes the "official" start of summer -- meaning you can break out those dusty white pants -- and the commencement of festival season. One of the biggest events on the east coast, Mysteryland, has announced the set times for its 2015 edition. The three-day festival will feature names like Kygo, Diplo, Madeon, Empire of the Sun and others as fans are now able to plan their Friday, Saturday and Sunday up at Bethel Woods, New York.
Friday is the pre-party for Nomad campers who arrive early ahead of the two main festival days on Saturday and Sunday. There aren't too many conflicts on this day with only five stages going. They each have a more subdued pre-game feel ranging from R&B infused electronic beats, to more subdued deep house from big names and small. Here is where you will see plenty of local acts as well as international ones like Maceo Plex and Richie Hawtin.
Saturday has some difficult decisions as the sun goes down. Between 6:30 and 8:30 fans will have to navigate staggered set times of Maya Jane Coles, Madeon, Kill Frenzy and Savoy over five different stages. 1 a.m. pits Porter Robinson, who is extensively touring this summer in support of his August 2014 album Worlds, against Griz, who released his new artist album Say It Loud at the end of March.
Sunday presents issues of its own as fans will want to dive in for some techno at the Drumcode stage, but also be mindful of the carefully curated Webster Hall stage, which features up and comers like Anna Lunoe, Sweater Beats, Klingande and others. The battle between Oliver, Sweater Beats, CRNKN, Anna Lunoe and Ida Engberg will have many scratching their heads. Late night will feature Dillon Francis and Diplo on the main stage, while Adam Beyer, Nicole Moudaber, Bakermat and Martin Buttrich all make a case to draw fans away to their respective stages.
