Maimarkthalle is a huge fair hall that hosted its first Time Warp way back in 1995. In 2023 and for the first time in four years, the entire space will be open for this unforgettable reunion of the electronic music community. The Maimarkthalle itself presents the two main floors, with the Maimarkt-Club offering up a third floor while various vast outdoor tents will add two more dance floors. The outside area will also host a glass pavilion which will make for a special atmosphere and some truly magical moments in the morning when the sun rises with six floors of action in total. 

Each of the different floors will have its own look, feel, sound and atmosphere. In signature Time Warp style, that means mind-blowing visuals and high spec production that combines fabric, technology, video and light into a sensory stimulating experience like no other, so prepare for a truly immersive journey on every level imaginable.

Although there has not been a Time Warp in spring in Mannheim for a while, the festival has hosted a successful autumn edition in the city as well as editions in Sao Paulo, Santiago de Chile and New York. Each one has captured the original spirit of the party that first started in 1994. 

Now, as the 30th anniversary edition approaches, the focus is back where Time Warp’s world renowned legacy first began to form. After so long away there will be plenty of pent up party energy, and to reunite with the music loving community that is at the heart of Time Warp will make for a truly historic edition next spring. 

Make sure you are there for this return to the dance.

We are also working on setting up a new cool space indoors to be able to enjoy the event without suffering from the high heat. With the desire to also encourage the younger generations of artists, we are renewing the Riffx competition to select an emerging talent who will play during the 2023 edition of Les Plages Électroniques.

Over the last two decades, Caprices has put Crans-Montana back on the map. It was once hugely popular in the 70s and 80s but fell out of fashion until Caprices introduced it to a new generation. In that time the festival has grown and evolved to become one of the world's premier underground events with not just top-level music but also endless daytime adventures in the Alps and body and soul-enriching experiences.

As such there are many things that stand Caprices apart, from breathtaking panoramic views across the Alps to next level audio-visual technology, luxury gastronomic experiences, an eco-museum, mountain activities, to multiple spa and wellness centres. For adrenaline junkies there are 140 km of pistes for skiing and snowboarding, a next level snowpark, husky sledding and so much more.

For this special anniversary edition there will be five stages split across day and night, two by day and three by night. Each stage has its own unique theme with fantastically realised producing and added performing arts elements such as dancers, actors, audiovisuals and art installations that brings the whole magical experience to life. 

By day there is the world renowned Modernity Stage, an iconic glasshouse at 2,200m up the Swiss Alps that will welcome big name DJs for some unforgettable musical memories. The Club stage, meanwhile, is a concrete stage attached to the Modernity Stage with a glass wall overlooking the Alps and soundtracked by some fresh talents from around the world. 

By night, The Moon Stage comes alive. It has been an integral part of Caprices festival from the early years and has famously cutting edge audiovisual production that adds an extra dimension to every single set. Then comes the Forest Stage, a forest themed 2000-capacity stage which will transport partygoers deep into alpine forests. Last but not least is the Dome Stage with another high-level audio visual experience and classy underground sounds.

This year, Weekend One (April 7-9th) welcomes Jamie XX, Fatboy Slim, Black Coffee, Artbat, Monolink (live), Adriatique, DJ Tennis, Blond:ish, Who Made Who (live), 8Kays, Amine K, Brina Knauss, Fiona Kraft, Layla Benitez, Magda, Modal Tune (Guti b2b Sarkisi live), Themba and Yokoo. 

Weekend Two (April 14-16th) brings Jeff Mills, Loco Dice b2b Seth Troxler, Zip, Luciano b2b Ricardo Villalobos, Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, Arapu b2b Gescu, Archie Hamilton, Cobblestone Jazz (live), Djerry C, East End Dubs, Janeret, Manda Moor, Miroloja, O.Bee b2b Tomas Station, Raresh, Sonja Moonear plus a special guest TBA.
