What is Time Warp Germany 2026?

Time Warp Germany 2026 took place on Saturday, March 21, 2026, at the Maimarkthalle in Mannheim, the festival's home base since 2000. The official recap page describes 5 floors and 19 hours of house and techno and counts 47 DJs; the official info page gave the hours as 7 PM on Saturday until 2 PM on Sunday, March 22. The festival said thousands of ravers came together in Mannheim, which it calls "the heart of Time Warp". Time Warp is organized by cosmopop GmbH of Ludwigshafen, and its official story says the festival started in 1994.

2026 also changed the calendar. The festival announced that there will be only one Time Warp in Germany from 2026 onwards and that the November Autumn Edition is discontinued. The official 2026 lineup, listed in alphabetical order on the recap page, included Adam Beyer, Amelie Lens, Ben Klock b2b MARRØN, Kobosil, Nina Kraviz, Richie Hawtin, Sara Landry, Sven Väth and Vintage Culture, with live sets from KUKO and Reinier Zonneveld. The night before, on March 20, the official pre-party brought BLOND:ISH to Das Zimmer in Mannheim, with support from Merissa Mahilaa.

Time Warp also runs editions outside Germany. Official Time Warp pages list 2026 editions in Miami, São Paulo, Mexico City, New York and Los Angeles, plus Time Warp's Neon Garden stage at EDC Mexico, EDC Las Vegas and EDC Colombia in Medellín. Time Warp Germany, which the events page calls "the original since 1994", has already set its next date: Saturday, April 3, 2027, at the Maimarkthalle, which the official page calls the only German edition in 2027.

Travel & Planning Guide

The Maimarkthalle is at Xaver-Fuhr-Straße 101, 68163 Mannheim. For 2026 the official info page listed these public transport routes: City Tram line 6/6A to "Maimarkt", City Bus line 50 to "Maimarkt", OEG Tram line 5 to "MA-Neuostheim", and S-Bahn line S2, S3 or S6 to "Mannheim Arena/Maimarkt". For taxis and Uber, the festival gave the address Maimarkt, Xaver-Fuhr-Str. 101. The official tickets page says a Time Warp Mannheim ticket includes free public transport within the VRN area, as long as the name on the ticket matches your ID, so carry it in case of a ticket check. The festival also asked people to leave the car at home if they plan to drink.

Coming from further away, the official festival bus page lists partner coach operators: Rave Tours and Flash Festival Bus with departures around Germany, RND Promotion from Italy and Akkros from France. The page lists departures from Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy and France. Check it again for 2027 departures.

The festival lists no camping and no official hotels, so book your own room in Mannheim or nearby. First-timer tip for next time: the 2026 edition ran 19 hours straight, from Saturday evening to Sunday afternoon, with a small-bag rule, lockers behind the entry gates, card-only payments and no ATM on site. Pack light, bring a card or phone wallet, and plan your way home before you go in.

What to Know Before You Go

🎒
Pack Light

In 2026 the bag limit was A4 size (20 x 30 cm), and large bags, backpacks and trolleys were refused. Lockers sat behind the entry gates in two sizes (medium 30 x 20 x 40 cm and large 30 x 30 x 40 cm), opened with a unique PIN code, and the festival recommended booking one in advance. Large power banks were on the forbidden list, and the festival offered a power bank service on site.

💳
Bring a Card

Payment on site was card-only in 2026: debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro), Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. There were no cashless wristbands to top up, and the official info page said there is no ATM on the premises.

🚫
Check the Forbidden Items

The 2026 list banned drugs, weapons, outside food and drinks, containers with liquids (perfume, body lotion and similar), aerosol cans, professional photo or video gear, large power banks, selfie sticks, helmets, balloons and nitrous oxide. E-cigarettes were allowed, and smoking was only permitted in designated outdoor areas.

📱
Plan With the Timetable

For 2026 the festival offered an interactive web timetable, the Time Warp Timetable App, made to work even with a bad connection. The same app has since been used for other Time Warp events. With 5 floors, pick your must-see sets before you go in.

🤝
Celebrate Safe

The official info page asked ravers to respect each other's boundaries, protect their ears, take breaks to cool off and eat, and see the first aid team as a friend. In 2026 the awareness station was in the chill-out area, and bar staff and security had direct radio contact with the awareness team.

🎟️
Only Use Official Resale

The festival warns that many scammers sell fake tickets and that tickets from private sellers may be invalid and could prevent entry. For resale, the Time Warp tickets page points to the official Waitlist of its ticketing partner Paylogic, plus an in-app option for tickets bought on Dice.
