Iconic German techno festival, Time Warp announces cancelation for this year, 2020, event because of the spreading of the new Covid-19 Coronavirus.
Planned for the next 4 of April 2020, Time Warp would have taken place in Mannheim, Germania. Considered by techno-fans one of the best underground and techno music events in the world, this year’s Time Warp would have featured artists from the light of Adam Beyer, Adriatique, Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Nina Kraviz, Solomun and many others.
Unfortunately, as explained by the festival itself in the press release, The Ministry of Health has issued a new measure to contrast the spreading of the Covid-19: all the events from now until the end of the crisis can’t exceed the 1000 visitors.
At the moment, the festival has not released any information about tickets’ refunds. The press release states that the ticket holders will be contacted directly with further information.
Time Warp cancelation marks another huge event in Europe that won’t take place. Tomorrowland Winter, DLDK Madrid, and Ultra Music Festival are some of the festivals already canceled.

Dear Fans,
unfortunately, the developments on the Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) have seen drastic change here in Germany
in the past 48 hours. We are very sad to tell you that today the administration of the city of Mannheim has informed us due to the decree from today (Thursday 12th March 2020) that Time Warp DE on 4th April 2020 cannot happen and is prohibited.The Ministry of Health of the German state of Baden-Württemberg has adjusted their crisis prevention programme as to that all events with more than 1.000 visitors have to be cancelled.
As health and safety comes always first on all our festivals, we have full understanding of this decision from the city of Mannheim.
This is a completely new and distressing situation for us and certainly for you as well.
As many of you have been looking forward to Time Warp for many months this is a very devastating and frustrating experience. As well for us, as we put nearly one year of work into this event to make it an as good and great experience as you know it from previous Time Warp editions.
Your continuous support and patience during this complex and difficult situation are much appreciated.
Please be patient; we will contact all ticket holders soon with further information.We hope to make you dance latest in 2021 in Mannheim! – Time Warp team
