Mysteryland USA announces lineup for 2015 festival, headlined by Diplo, Dillon Francis, and Kygo
Mysteryland's US edition returns to Bethel Woods and the home of the original Woodstock Festival for its second year this Memorial Day Weekend, May 22 - 25. This year's lineup comes courtesy of the festival's top notch stage curators. The Main Stage is devoid of anything critics could classify as "big room" or "festival house," Empire of the Sun will be performing live, along with Porter Robinson, Netsky, Classix, Bob Moses, Madeon, Kygo, Diplo, Dillon Francis and many more. It's the most interesting main stage lineup at any EDM festival thus far, testament to Mysteryland USA's music first mantra.
The Hudson Project will not return in 2015
Electronic music fans in upstate New York are about to lose another music festival in 2015. Michael Lang, a representative of Winston Farms, confirmed to Saugerties Times, "The Hudson Project is on hold for the moment. It's not coming back this year." The inaugural electronic music festival, held last July, took pride in sharing the same location as Woodstock '94. The MCP Presents-produced event was intended to act as Camp Bisco's successor after 15 years of business. While official numbers were not released, it is suspected that The Hudson Project was several thousand short of its 20,000 to 25,000 expected attendees. Many might also recall the cancellation of the festival's third day due to torrential rainstorms and flooding, leaving thousands of furious fans trapped on the site. It could be that one stroke of bad luck put what would have been an annual affair to rest before it even had a chance to flourish. Lang explains that Winston Farms is in the works of scheduling other events for the summer season: "We're talking to some other entities about this summer and should have something definitive in a couple of weeks."
