Time Warp kicks off its 2027 calendar in Mannheim, with 49 artists confirmed for its main edition on 3rd April at its longstanding home at Maimarktgelände. The programme will run from Saturday evening into the following Sunday afternoon. As always at Time Warp, every floor has its own character, where music, light and space interlock.
Since 1994, Time Warp has stood for uncompromising club culture, the highest possible production values and a curated selection of the most relevant artists in electronic music. In 2027, the focus remains where it has always been: on the dance floor.
Over the years, strong musical and personal connections have developed in Mannheim. Artists and ravers keep coming back, while new faces and musical perspectives join the story each year. The 2027 lineup builds on this while evolving the signature Time Warp sound. Alongside familiar pairings are artists shaping today’s scene and new collaborations making their Mannheim debut.
Two of the highlights of the 2027 Mannheim lineup are the world premiere of Alarico b3b Chlär b3b Yanamaste and the joint set from Cloudy and KI/KI. Alarico and Chlär make up Funk Assault, and both have already played back-to-back sets with Yanamaste. In Mannheim, the three will play together for the first time. With Cloudy b2b KI/KI, Cloudy‘s fast, bouncing groove meets KI/KI‘s blend of acid, trance and techno. Charlotte de Witte, one of international techno’s defining headliners, returns to Mannheim. The harder edge of the programme comes from I Hate Models and Novah, two of the many other highlights on the lineup.
Time Warp regulars such as Joseph Capriati, Nina Kraviz, Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth and Loco Dice will, of course, be back in Mannheim. Adiel b2b Quest has also become one of Time Warp’s modern classics and, after two legendary closings in the Glaspavillon, the pair share the decks for the third year running in 2027.
A new generation of house artists is also making its mark, with Mau P and Josh Baker among the scene’s most in-demand names. Both feature on the Mannheim lineup, as do Carlita b2b Rossi., while Beltran and Ben Sterling also reunite behind the decks. Their b2b at Time Warp New York 2025 at the Brooklyn Storehouse was one of the night’s standout moments, with the recording surpassing 150,000 YouTube views within days.
From the very beginning, the idea behind Time Warp was a club on a grand scale. The 2027 programme also reflects Time Warp’s enduring connection to underground club culture, with bookings including Jane Fitz and Cinthie.
From the opening on Saturday evening into the following Sunday afternoon, the widest range of house and techno styles comes together in Mannheim. Ben Klock b2b Rødhåd represent straight-up Berlin techno, while Ueberrest covers the harder side of the programme. Fast, bouncing grooves come from the likes of 2High aka Adrián Mills. Funk Tribu echoes the trance of the ’90s and early 2000s. Ben UFO b2b Enzo Siragusa bring their British roots with influences from house, bass music and breakbeat. Rhadoo stands for minimal. The melodic side of the lineup comes through the hybrid DJ set from WhoMadeWho.
Once again in 2027, five floors will be built across the Maimarktgelände. Two of the three main floors are in the Maimarkthalle. The third, Floor 5, is dedicated to house music. They are joined by the Glaspavillon and the Maimarktclub. For one night, each of these five spaces becomes a club in its own right, with its own sound system, lighting design and a musical programme that develops from opening to closing. Each floor offers a different experience, with its own sound, atmosphere and energy. Moving between them reveals the many different sides of Time Warp, all unfolding across one continuous night.
Production and atmosphere build on what has defined Time Warp for more than three decades: floor designs that follow the music, sound and light that enhance rather than overpower the experience, and an international community in which artists and ravers have developed a shared understanding over many years. The atmosphere is welcoming, warm and open, while remaining intense, with a shared focus on what matters most: the music.
