Time Warp returns to its spiritual home of Maimarkt Mannheim in Germany this April 5th. After more than three decades in the game, the renowned festival continues to raise the bar with a bold, diverse lineup and world-class production that has earned it a legendary status. For its 31st year, Time Warp has ushered in over 40 artists, playing across 5 floors for 19 hours of non-stop music from some of the biggest names and brightest emerging stars in electronic music.
Leading the charge are iconic figures in techno, including Marco Carola, Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, and Nina Kraviz, who will all return to the decks. Joining them are powerhouses like Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, and Black Coffee, who have dominated major events worldwide and will bring their signature sounds to Mannheim.
Expect dark, hard-hitting techno from rising stars like Indira Paganotto and Clara Cuvé, as well as emotionally charged trance from DJ Heartstring. The festival will also feature some exclusive back-to-back sets, including Mischluft b2b Pegassi, Dixon b2b Chloé Caillet, and Adiel b2b Quest, which will showcase these artists digging deep into their extensive and varied repertoires.
Also making their mark will be SYREETA, a resident at both the groundbreaking HE.SHE.THEY. and ANTS, along with Patrick Mason, a Berlin-based party starter who’s known for his charismatic sets. The fearless sounds of HAAi, the captivating KI/KI, and the euphoric vibes of Sedef Adasï will also take the stage. Completing the line up sees more industry stalwarts including Ricardo Villalobos and Seth Troxler, as well as the avant-garde energy of Jones, alongside many more.
The five floors of Time Warp are as much a part of the experience as the music itself. With each floor boasting its own unique look, sound, and feel. From fairground-style halls to immersive tent spaces and the iconic Glass Pavilion, where you’ll dance straight into the sunrise. For 2025, the festival will debut a new floor, merging two smaller floors into one larger, intricately designed space, enhancing the sensory overload that Time Warp is famous for.
