The Time Warp 2027 lineup for Mannheim is out. The festival returns to the Maimarkthalle on Saturday 3 April 2027, running from 21:00 until 14:00 on Sunday 4 April. The official Time Warp Germany page calls it "The only German edition in 2027." Of the 38 entries on that page, 10 are back-to-back sets, which is roughly a quarter of the bill.
One night, one day
The organizer is selling this as a return to basics. The official page describes "the original long-format edition", then adds "One night, one day." and "Multifloor. Long haul. This is Time Warp at its core." The listed hours, 21:00 Saturday to 14:00 Sunday, add up to 17 hours. 909originals reports the same 9pm to 2pm window. The venue address is Xaver-Fuhr-Straße 101, 68163 Mannheim, and entry is 18+.
Recent editions give some context. For the 30th anniversary in 2024, Resident Advisor reported that Time Warp would "expand from one night to two", with 67 artists across 5 and 6 April 2024 at the Maimarkthalle. According to Inspired by Beatz, the 2026 edition on 21 March was a single 19-hour run from 7 p.m. to 2 p.m. across five floors. The same report says the autumn edition has been discontinued, leaving one German event a year. The 2027 run starts two hours later than 2026 and ends at the same time.
Why 38 and 49 describe the same bill
You'll see two numbers in the coverage. The official page lists 38 entries in alphabetical order. 909originals and We Rave You both say 49 artists. The gap comes from the back-to-backs. Nine entries are pairs and one is a trio, so those 10 entries hold 21 individual artists. Count every name separately and the 38 entries become 49.
The marquee pairings
Three of the b2bs bring together artists who already headline on their own:
-
Ben Klock b2b Rødhåd. Both played the 2024 anniversary edition, according to Resident Advisor, though RA's report doesn't list them as a back-to-back.
-
Kevin de Vries b2b Maceo Plex
-
Ben UFO b2b Enzo Siragusa
The billing only tells us who shares the decks. It doesn't say when, on which floor, or for how long.
Seven more back-to-backs
The other b2b entries on the official page are Adiel b2b Quest, Beltran b2b Ben Sterling, Carlita b2b Rossi., Cloudy b2b KI/KI, fumi b2b ÜBERKIKZ, Mischluft b2b Serafina, and the only three-way set on the bill, Alarico b2b Chlär b2b Yanamaste. 909originals reports that this will be the first time Alarico, Chlär and Yanamaste perform together.
One hybrid set
WhoMadeWho is billed as "(Hybrid DJ Set)". It's the only entry on the official lineup with a live or hybrid tag. Everything else is listed without a format note.
The solo names
Headlines from We Rave You and EDMTunes lead with Charlotte de Witte, Sven Väth and Nina Kraviz. 909originals also names Joseph Capriati, Richie Hawtin and Loco Dice among the headliners. Elsewhere on the bill you'll find Jane Fitz, Rhadoo, Seth Troxler, Sama' Abdulhadi, I Hate Models, Ben UFO's fellow selectors and a strong run of names from the harder and house ends of the scene.
The full official list, as published: 2High aka Adrián Mills, Adiel b2b Quest, Ahmed Spins, Alarico b2b Chlär b2b Yanamaste, Beltran b2b Ben Sterling, Ben Klock b2b Rødhåd, Ben UFO b2b Enzo Siragusa, BIIA, Carlita b2b Rossi., Charlotte de Witte, Cinthie, CIRILLO, Cloudy b2b KI/KI, Dennis Cruz, Enrico Sangiuliano, fumi b2b ÜBERKIKZ, Funk Tribu, I Hate Models, Indira Paganotto, Jane Fitz, Joseph Capriati, Josh Baker, Kalte Liebe, Kevin de Vries b2b Maceo Plex, Loco Dice, Mau P, Mischluft b2b Serafina, Nina Kraviz, Novah, PAN-POT, Rhadoo, Richie Hawtin, Sama' Abdulhadi, Seebase, Seth Troxler, Sven Väth, Ueberrest and WhoMadeWho (Hybrid DJ Set).
Five floors, according to the press
The official Germany page says only "Multifloor." The trade reports go further. 909originals reports five stages: two floors inside the Maimarkthalle, a main house floor, the Glaspavillon and the Maimarktclub. We Rave You also says five floors will be built across the site, with Floor 5 for house music. 909originals paraphrases the organizer as saying each space works as its own club with its own sound system, lighting and programme, and quotes: "Each floor offers a different experience, with its own sound, atmosphere and energy."
Still unpublished
There's no timetable on the official page yet. That means no set times, no running order and no floor assignments, including for the back-to-backs. If you're planning around a particular pairing, wait for the timetable before you book anything that depends on a specific hour. Ticket information is on the official Time Warp Mannheim page.
