Time Warp returns to its spiritual home of Maimarkt Mannheim in Germany on April 5th 2025 with a customarily bold lineup of talent that both affirms the event’s historic roots, whilst elevating the rising stars of underground house and techno.
The Time Warp team’s dedication to the scene, proclivity for world-class programming, and hyperfocus on production details is second to none. This is why it has stood as one of the world’s leading underground events for more than three decades. Each year, people from more than 170 countries flock to Mannheim, a UNESCO City of Music – revellers can take their pick from the different floors on the Maimarkt site in Mannheim, each of which boasts its own signature look, sound, and feel. From the fairground halls with their intense club vibe, to the immersive tent floors, and the iconic Glass Pavilion where you dance into the sunrise, Time Warp Mannheim offers an unforgettable journey through five uniquely captivating stages.
Musically, Time Warp 2025 once again leads from the front with a discerning blend of sounds from across the spectrum. Leading the charge are returning Time Warp heroes and techno pioneers including Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, and Nina Kraviz.
For a dark, powerful take on techno, influential new school Belgians Amelie Lens and Charlotte de Witte both step up having headlined every major event in the world over the last year, while afro house titan Black Coffee brings his lauded sounds alongside the emotionally charged trance of DJ Heartstring.
There will be some exclusive back-to-back specials with Mischluft b2b Pegassi, Dixon b2b Chloé Caillet, and underground favourites Adiel b2b Quest, sure to serve up a host of surprises as they dig deep into their coveted repertoires.
Meanwhile the fearless and authentic HE.SHE.THEY. and ANTS resident SYREETA also steps up, as well as Berlin party starter Patrick Mason, the hard edge and psyched-out sounds of Australian HAAi, Dutch techno trendsetter KI/KI, plus euphoric techno, house and disco star Sedef Adasï, and many more to come.
Powered by Cosmopop, Time Warp is lauded for its innovation each and every year. New technology and concepts make every edition fresh and exciting with a spell-binding mix of light, video, architecture, and art, making for sensory stimulating experiences like no other. This year’s April event will take place across five floors, the fifth a combination of two smaller floors combined into one larger meticulously produced area.
As Time Warp enters its 31st year, it will continue to do what it has always done best: lead from the front with mesmerising and innovative production, and an eclectic mix of electronic sounds from the most compelling performers in the scene.
