Time Warp 2006

The premiere was in 1994 in the "Walzmühle", an abandoned mill machinery, in Ludwigshafen. Since 2000, the Maimarkthalle has been a permanent venue every spring, with DJ greats such as Sven Väth, Carl Cox and Richie Hawtin being present from the very beginning. In 2019, the festival celebrated its 25th anniversary in Germany and was - as in the years before - completely sold out. The 2024 edition, marking the festival's 30th anniversary, was hosted over two days with a total runtime of 30 hours and featured many Techno pioneers from earlier Time Warp editions.

The Time Warp Festival has also been present abroad since 2005, with stops in Prague, Vienna, Turin, Milan, Zurich and from 2008 to 2014 regularly in the Netherlands. The first edition in Spain took place in 2024.

From 2014 on, festivals in Buenos Aires and New York City followed. Since 2018 the festival has been taking place in São Paulo in Brazil in addition to Germany. In 2022, Time Warp Chile was introduced.
