Time Warp

In the mid-90s, Techno - the soundtrack of a scene - had become music for the masses. But in Ludwigshafen, two guys still dreamt of the magic of those first years, wanting to put on a party which would revive the spirit of the good old days. In 1994, Time Warp was born. With stellar performances by cult artists of the likes of Robert Armani, John Aquaviva and Speedy J, Time Warp set out to change the face of electronic music events in Germany.

Over 20 years later and after countless editions, Time Warp still captures the sound of the underground. Taking place in late-March or early April, Time Warp is one of the main events kicking off the summer festival season. Acclaimed for its stellar line-up, supreme sound, luster visuals and enigmatic location, Time Warp captures the spirit of the golden days of Techno underground events like no other.

As one of the biggest and longest-running techno spectacles in the world, Time Warp is a yearly hotspot for thousands of party people making their annual pilgrimage to Mannheim - the festival's home base since 1995. Over the past two decades, Time Warp has grown from a local highlight to an international behemoth, with several international editions in cities like New York, Utrecht and Milan.
