Time Warp has evolved over the years, setting new standards and collaborating with international designers to create unparalleled productions. Each dance floor at Time Warp has its own iconic design, sound, and atmosphere, contributing to a unique and immersive experience. The festival is renowned for combining music, light, video, architecture, and art to create extraordinary environments.
Maimarkt Mannheim remains the flagship venue for Time Warp, providing unique design possibilities. The city of Mannheim has gained international recognition as the host of Time Warp, and the festival contributes to Mannheim being titled a "UNESCO City of Music."
Time Warp made its debut on November 26, 1994, at Ludwigshafen's Walzmühle with a focus on a curated lineup and a carefully chosen venue. The festival has maintained this trademark, evolving artistically and technically while preserving its fundamental form—a collection of individually designed clubs offering the best in electronic music.
The festival faced challenges in the early 2000s when techno and house faded from the public radar, but it rebounded, reaching new heights. From 2008 onward, Time Warp has been sold out every year. The anniversary edition promises to be a spectacular celebration of three decades of electronic music and club culture.
Tickets and additional information are available on www.time-warp.de. As in previous years, it's advisable to act quickly: the first ticket tiers have sold out and in recent years, Time Warp has been sold out entirely weeks before the event.
