Who is playing Time Warp Mannheim 2027?

Time Warp Mannheim 2027 has 49 artists, according to the official event page, which lists the bill in alphabetical order, Time Warp's way of refusing to rank anyone. Counting each name in a back-to-back separately gives 49, which matches the figure given by Electronic Groove, 909originals, We Rave You and Techno Airlines. Time Warp does not announce a lineup so much as release a roll call, and the 2027 one has Sven Väth still on the poster three decades on.

The lineup has very little filler at the top and a lot of range underneath. Hard techno (I Hate Models, Novah, Ueberrest), Berlin club techno, minimal (Rhadoo), trance revival (Funk Tribu), and house at its most festival-friendly (Mau P, Josh Baker) all get a floor's worth of room.

Which back-to-backs are on the Time Warp 2027 lineup?

The Time Warp Mannheim 2027 sheet has nine back-to-backs, plus one three-way set, according to the official event page. Seven of the pairings are worth a closer look:

Back-to-backWhy it is worth noticing
Ben Klock b2b RødhådTwo Berlin techno names; Klock is a long-time Berghain resident, and We Rave You files the pair under straight Berlin techno
Ben UFO b2b Enzo SiragusaBen UFO with Enzo Siragusa, a pairing on the 2027 sheet
Kevin de Vries b2b Maceo PlexBilled on the official page and by 909originals
Cloudy b2b KI/KIAcid, trance and fast, bouncy grooves, per We Rave You
Carlita b2b Rossi.A house pairing, billed with the full stop after Rossi that the festival's page uses
Beltran b2b Ben SterlingA reunion after their set at Time Warp New York 2025, according to We Rave You and Techno Airlines
Adiel b2b QuestBack for a third year running, after two closing sets in the Glaspavillon, per three outlets

The official page also lists fumi b2b Überkikz and Mischluft b2b Serafina, which is why the count is nine. Several outlets list only seven.

Ben Klock b2b Rødhåd gives the poster its Berlin spine. For that scene's background, our Berghain label history is the place to start.

What is the Alarico b3b Chlär b3b Yanamaste world premiere?

Alarico b3b Chlär b3b Yanamaste is the world-premiere three-way set on the Time Warp Mannheim 2027 bill, a framing the festival itself uses and Electronic Groove and We Rave You repeat. Alarico and Chlär already work together as Funk Assault, and each has played back to back with Yanamaste before. Mannheim will be the first time all three share the decks at once.

A three-way set means a shared selection across hours rather than one artist's arc. Whether it plays on a main floor or in the smaller rooms has not been published; the timetable will say.

Elder statesmen and newer names

The long runs are the story of the poster. According to the festival's artist archive, Sven Väth is listed back to 1995, and Joseph Capriati and Nina Kraviz are regulars, while Richie Hawtin has been a fixture for years. Our Time Warp festival page traces how those names built the identity of the festival, and the 2026 edition was topped by Amelie Lens, Hawtin, Väth and Adam Beyer.

The 2027 bill adds a younger bracket alongside them. I Hate Models, Novah and Indira Paganotto bring hard techno, while Mau P and Josh Baker sit on a bill that now gives house its own space: the festival describes a third main floor "dedicated to house music". Charlotte de Witte sits on both sides of that divide, a headline name for a newer generation and, by now, a Time Warp regular.

Why is Time Warp 2027 17 hours instead of 19?

The festival's current official page and homepage bill Time Warp Mannheim 2027 as "17 Hours. 5 Floors", running 21:00 to 14:00, which is two hours shorter than the 19-hour night sold for years. The festival has not said why, and we will not guess.

For years it sold the Mannheim event as "One Day | Five Stages | 19 Hours". An archived copy of the festival's 2026 page still carries that tagline, with a listed running time of 19:00 to 14:00. The 2027 event page was showing 19:00 to 14:00 as late as 1 October 2026, according to an Internet Archive snapshot. RA, Electronic Groove, 909originals, We Rave You and Techno Airlines all repeat the later start. The festival does say the format is still "one night, one day".

What are the five floors at Time Warp Mannheim?

Time Warp Mannheim has five floors, each operating "as a club in its own right" with its own sound system, lighting design and programme, according to the festival. According to 909originals and Electronic Groove, citing the festival's statement, the five spaces are:

  • Two floors inside the Maimarkthalle
  • A third main floor dedicated to house
  • The Glaspavillon, where Adiel b2b Quest have played their two closing sets so far
  • The Maimarktclub

Are Time Warp 2027 tickets on sale, and what else should you know?

As of 13 November 2026, the official Time Warp site says tickets for Time Warp Germany 2027 are available, but the shop link behind the ticket button ends in "offsale" and we could not load the shop itself. Check availability before you plan travel.

  • Venue: Maimarkthalle, Xaver-Fuhr-Straße 101, 68163 Mannheim.
  • Age: 18+.
  • Tickets: the official homepage says "Tickets now available!", the official ticket page lists Time Warp Germany 3 April 2027 among shows with tickets on sale, and the event page carries a "Get your ticket" button. We have not verified prices from the official shop.
  • Refunds and resale: the official ticket page says refunds are not offered and points to Paylogic's waitlist as the safe way to resell.
  • Getting around: for the 2026 edition the festival included free VRN public transport with the ticket, with the name on the ticket needing to match ID. The ticket page repeats that note for Mannheim; confirm it for 2027.
  • Timetable: not yet published.

What else is on Time Warp's calendar?

As of 13 November 2026, Time Warp's own site lists New York (20 and 21 November), Mexico (20 and 21 November) and Los Angeles (27 and 28 November) before the German edition. Its 2026 page said the autumn Mannheim edition has been discontinued, leaving one German Time Warp a year.

For a market that has spent the year worrying about disappearing events, as we covered in Europe's festival cancellations and the Sónar relaunch, a single-night rave announcing early with a full 49-name sheet reads as confidence.
