What we know
Charlotte de Witte, Sven Väth, Nina Kraviz, Joseph Capriati, Richie Hawtin and Loco Dice are all on the bill. Time Warp has been running in Mannheim since 1994, and the festival has built a loyal crowd there over the years. You can read more on the Time Warp Mannheim page.
Two bookings are being presented as exclusives. Alarico, Chlär and Yanamaste will play a three-way back-to-back set, which is billed as a world premiere. Alarico and Chlär already work together as Funk Assault, but this is the first time all three will share a booth.
Cloudy b2b KI/KI is another Mannheim debut. It pairs Cloudy's bouncy, fast grooves with KI/KI's mix of acid, trance and techno. Adiel b2b Quest will also return to the Glaspavillon for a third year in a row.
The harder end of the night belongs to I Hate Models and Novah. Mau P, Josh Baker and Carlita b2b Rossi. represent the newer wave of house music. Beltran and Ben Sterling will team up again after their back-to-back set at Time Warp New York's Brooklyn Storehouse show in 2025.
Ben Klock b2b Rødhåd bring Berlin techno, while Ben UFO b2b Enzo Siragusa draw on house, bass and breakbeat. Funk Tribu look back to 1990s and early-2000s trance. Rhadoo covers minimal, and WhoMadeWho play a hybrid live and DJ set for the melodic side. Jane Fitz and Cinthie are among the underground names rounding things out.
The festival spreads over five floors again. Two main rooms and Floor 5 sit inside the Maimarkthalle, with the Glaspavillon and the Maimarktclub alongside. Each space has its own sound system, lighting design and musical identity.
Why it matters
Time Warp keeps its focus on sound and floor design rather than big-stage visuals. That sets it apart from many large festivals. A full lineup this early gives international visitors plenty of time to plan a trip to Mannheim.
Tickets and more details are available through the festival's official website. If you are planning to go, it is worth checking the site for the latest information.
