Time Warp 2026: 30 years of overnight techno at the Maimarktgelände in Mannheim, 21 March

Time Warp held its 2026 edition on the night of 21 March 2026 at the Maimarktgelände in Mannheim, Germany — the trade-fair hall that has hosted the festival's flagship Mannheim night since 1994. The 2026 edition fell on the 30-year mark for the brand, which has built a global reputation on its single-night, all-night techno-marathon format: doors at 21:00, sets running through to mid-morning the day after, three to four large halls plus a smaller chamber stage.

The 2026 line-up reads as a Who's Who of European techno across three generations: Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, ADAM BEYER, Nina Kraviz, AMELIE LENS, Deborah De Luca, Jamie Jones and VINTAGE CULTURE — the bookings traditionally run extended 2- to 3-hour sets, a rarity outside Berlin clubs.

Maimarktgelände, Mannheim, Germany — single night 21 March 2026, with after-hours buses to Frankfurt and surrounding cities laid on. Information and the 2027 cycle on time-warp.de.
