After a three-day sun-drenched weekend, Mysteryland once again solidified its position as a pioneer in the festival world with a breathtaking and unprecedented finale that left attendees in awe. For the first time ever, a 10-minute choreography seamlessly combined 600 drones, fireworks, 3D video, lights, music, and vocals into a spectacular end show unlike anything seen before. This cutting-edge performance, developed in collaboration with TWOFIFTYK DRNS (known for their shows at Burning Man) and world’s biggest beer brand BUD, pushed the boundaries of festival experiences. The drones were fully integrated into the finale, transforming the stage from a 30-meter centerpiece into a towering 120-meter-high spectacle of light and technology.
Rosanne Janmaat, CEO ID&T: “I am completely overwhelmed by this next level show and beyond proud of our team. Special shout out to our creative team who created pure magic with this end show. We look back on a fantastic edition in which we took a wonderful step in a new direction with Mysteryland. ‘Celebrating life’ is central to everything we do, and it was very special to close this sunny edition with an end show of this size, in which that theme formed the common thread. We are grateful for our crew, partners, artists and of course our amazing visitors. We can’t wait to show them what we have in store for next year!”
Sander ter Braak, TWOFIFTYK DRNS: “What we created here with Mysteryland goes far beyond just a drone show. The 600 drones are part of a fully integrated 10-minute choreography of light, lasers, drones, video, music, vocals, and fireworks. This show is an experience where all these disciplines are integrated to create a new, immersive reality where the line between what is real and virtual is no longer visible.”
A key highlight of the show was a performance by fan favorite Genevieve Coté, known from Britain’s Got Talent, who enchanted the crowd with her famous nature and animal sounds. The entire finale revolved around the theme “Celebrate Life,” where “life” carried a dual meaning, with a special focus on nature. This profound message is especially poignant in times when the pressure on our environment is increasing.
Mysteryland has long been committed to sustainability, and this year was no different. The festival ran almost entirely on green, locally sourced energy, continuing its tradition of leading the way in environmentally conscious event production.
The festival offers a stage to no less than 300 artists from different countries representing all genres in the electronic music spectrum, there were many performers that surprised visitors and the entire site was full with decorative objects and light installations that amazed them.
As Mysteryland 2024 concludes on a high note, this unforgettable end show serves as a powerful reminder of the festival’s dedication to innovation, nature, and celebration. The dates for the 2025 edition are already set: 22 – 24 September 2025 and visitors can preregister via this link. The full end show will be available on Mysteryland’s YouTube channel very soon.
