Time Warp has announced the lineup for its 2027 Mannheim edition, the festival's only German date next year. It takes place on Saturday 3 April at the Maimarktgelände and runs for 17 hours, from 9pm until 2pm on Sunday, across five stages. 49 artists are confirmed.
Charlotte de Witte, Sven Väth and Nina Kraviz sit at the top, with Richie Hawtin, Joseph Capriati, Loco Dice, Seth Troxler, Pan-Pot, Enrico Sangiuliano and Rhadoo underneath. The faster end of the bill is well covered by I Hate Models, Indira Paganotto, Funk Tribu, Novah and Josh Baker, while Mau P, Cinthie, Jane Fitz and Sama' Abdulhadi widen the range across house and deeper techno.
The headline grabber is a world premiere: Alarico b3b Chlär b3b Yanamaste, a trio that has never played together before. Alarico and Chlär already perform as Funk Assault and have each played with Yanamaste, so it is a new format built on proven chemistry. Other pairings include Ben Klock b2b Rødhåd, Cloudy b2b KI/KI and Ben UFO b2b Enzo Siragusa, and Adiel b2b Quest return for a third year.
For bookers and managers, the lineup is a clear read on how a heritage indoor festival keeps itself current. Time Warp has been running since the 1990s, and the core of the bill is still the long set techno names it built its reputation on. Around them, it books the harder, faster artists who now sell out big rooms on their own, and it uses one off b2b and b3b formats to give long time fans a reason to buy again. A pairing that only exists at your event is something no other promoter can offer.
If you manage an act that plays in this space, take note of the calendar too. An early April date in Germany sits at the start of the spring festival run, so announcements like this one fill routing gaps for the weeks around it. Agents planning March and April tours in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium will already be building around anchor dates like this, and the time to pitch shows near them is now, not in February.
