The “Glastonbury of Techno” is making its way back to New York and it’s ready to shake the walls of Brooklyn.
Time Warp, the globe-trotting German-born festival that’s basically Coachella’s darker, bass-thumping cousin, will storm the Brooklyn Storehouse on November 21 and 22. For two sleepless nights, the cavernous Navy Yard warehouse will transform into a cathedral of strobe lights, Funktion-One sound and untamed dance energy.
For the uninitiated, Time Warp first launched in Mannheim, Germany, more than 30 years ago and has since exported its underground ethos from São Paulo to Santiago, cementing itself as one of the world’s most iconic electronic festivals. Its New York edition, produced with nightlife crew Teksupport, has quickly become a rite of passage for techno heads across North America.
And the 2025 lineup? Massive. Headlining is none other than Sven Väth, the German pioneer who’s been shaping the scene since the early ‘90s. He’s joined by French powerhouses Nico Moreno and Trym, plus Italy’s techno queen Deborah De Luca. But the magic isn’t just in the solo sets: The fest is known for pairing unlikely DJs together for chaotic, euphoric back-to-backs. This year brings Dennis Ferrer B2B Kerri Chandler, DJ Heartstring B2B Partiboi69 and The Blessed Madonna B2B Mike Servito, all the kind of rare matchups that could become instant legend.
The rest of the bill runs deep: Sara Landry, SPFDJ, Kim Ann Foxman, Beltran B2B Ben Sterling, CatLadyHi and Brooklyn favorite Katie Rex all promise to keep the BPMs unrelenting. Whether you’re into hypnotic minimalism, industrial hammer kicks or playful house grooves, there’s a corner of the lineup with your name on it.
The Brooklyn Storehouse, already a favorite among New York’s warehouse party faithful, will host two stages each night from 9 pm until sunrise. It’s the same sprawling venue where Time Warp set new standards last year, turning an industrial hangar into something between Berghain and Blade Runner.
Tickets are already on sale and if history is any guide, they won’t last long. (Last year’s rave sold out in record time, and fans were begging for resale links on Reddit within hours.)
So, lace up your stompiest boots, dust off the LED shades, and block off Thanksgiving week: Time Warp is back and Brooklyn is about to be the world capital of techno, if only for 48 blissed-out, bass-drenched hours.
