Time Warp NYC 2026

The legendary Time Warp returns to New York for a massive two-warehouse takeover at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the Duggal Greenhouse. For more than 30 years, the German institution has set the global standard for large-scale house and techno events, pairing marathon sets from scene-defining selectors with monumental sound, lighting, and production. This year’s edition brings that vision back to Brooklyn for what is set to be the most epic party of the year in New York. Leading the lineup are Dutch house favorite Franky Rizardo, Innervisions co-founder Âme DJ, Life and Death founder DJ Tennis in a B2B with Red Axes, Mellow Circus head-huncho Brunello, and Cocoon icon Sven Väth.

Time Warp began in Ludwigshafen, Germany, in 1994 before establishing its long-running home in Mannheim. What started as a gathering rooted in underground techno culture grew into an international force, with editions reaching cities across Europe, North America, and South America. Through every chapter, its focus has stayed centered on the dance floor: precision sound, expansive visual design, and lineups that connect foundational figures with the artists shaping the music right now.

New York has held a major place in that story for more than a decade. Time Warp first arrived in the city at the 39th Street Pier in 2014, returned the following year, and staged its 2019 edition at the New York Expo Center. Since 2021, the festival has continued building its Brooklyn chapter, including several celebrated nights inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard. In 2026, it returns to the site with two warehouses and one of its most ambitious New York lineups yet.

DUGGAL Greenhouse provides the setting. Located on the Brooklyn waterfront, the 35,000-square-foot former World War II ship-assembly building pairs towering 70-foot ceilings with exposed industrial structure and floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the East River. Its scale, history, and raw architecture make it a natural home for Time Warp’s immersive production. Once the lights drop and the sound systems take over, both warehouses will become fully realized worlds of their own.

Few artists are more closely tied to Time Warp than Sven Väth. The Cocoon founder has spent more than four decades at the center of techno culture, and his marathon storytelling remains inseparable from the festival’s history. At the harder end of the lineup, Klangkuenstler brings the force of his OUTWORLD sound, channeling ’90s warehouse energy through relentless drums, speed, and raw physical impact.

The full lineup moves across a wide spectrum of house and techno. DVS1, Anetha, Chlär, VTSS, Indira Paganotto, Adiel B2B TBA, Annie Lew, ChaseWest, Julya Karma, Kilopatrah Jones, Kyruh, Novah, Rose Kourts, and Silvie Loto complete a bill designed for two nights of total immersion.

From psychedelic excursions to uncompromising techno, Time Warp New York 2026 brings generations of dance-floor culture together under one roof—or, in this case, two warehouses. This is not simply another night out. It is Time Warp in New York, back inside the Brooklyn Navy Yard and ready to take the city further than ever before.
