TIME WARP MAKES EPIC RETURN WITH BIGGEST EVER CROWD

20,000 fans from all over the world were in attendance at Time Warp’s much anticipated return to Mannheim

Time Warp came back to its spiritual home in Mannheim with a bang on April 1st. After four years away because of the pandemic, the world's most renowned electronic music festival raised the bar with 20, 000 visitors from all over the world dancing to the best DJs on the planet with some of the most bold and adventurous production in the industry. 

It all went down at Maimarkthalle, a huge fair hall that hosted its first Time Warp in 1995 and was a great home for this much anticipated return. The festival took place over the two main floors as well as the Maimarkt-Club which was a third space, then the vast outdoor tents offered two more places to dance and a glass pavilion also provided some unforgettable scenes as the sun shone in through the windows.  

Say the team, "We are very grateful that after a four year break we brought back the energy and the entire family with artists and fans from all over the world. We are happy that all our new floor designs worked out well and were much appreciated by fans and artists alike. We managed again to present a perfect symbiosis of materials, fabrics, light, sound and video."

Amongst the many headliners were the likes of Sven Väth, The Blessed Madonna, Adam Beyer, Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte, Nina Kraviz, Paula Temple, Ricardo Villalobos, Marco Carola, Seth Troxler, Dixon, DJ Koze. Richie Hawtin also played and took to Instagram after the show to say, "Thank you @time_warp_official for another beautiful trip into the world of pulsating frequencies…..In a world where Techno is common place and known (but not understood) by everyone, it’s a pleasure to have an audience that is ready for a journey into the unknown. …..thank you to TIME WARP for giving us all a platform that allows us to all resonate together in the purest way!”

Forward thinking music has always been at the heart of Time Warp and that was the case again this year. Keep your eyes peeled for news of the next event as the 30 year anniversary edition approaches in 2024.

Thursday, October 26 - Sunday, October 29, 2023 at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida

“The festival and concert industry landscape continues to be bought up and homogenized by the majors, so staying the course as true independents and surviving through all of the highs and lows we’ve endured to this milestone 10 year anniversary, is incredible. We think back fondly of all the people who have been part of the Hula journey with us, and how the team continues to learn and grow to elevate the experience and lineup every year. We’ve proudly stayed true to this community and culture we are servicing and hope to keep doing that for at least another 10!” - Michael Berg, Co-Founder, Brand Manager, & Talent Buyer for Hulaween

Suwannee Hulaween has unveiled its historic, genre-crossing lineup to celebrate the festival’s tenth anniversary celebration edition, returning home to the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida from Thursday, October 26 - Sunday, October 29, 2023.

Hulaween is one of the last truly-independent, large-scale music festivals thriving amongst today’s corporatized concert landscape, and after selling out its last five editions, the festival is commemorating a decade of success with its most impressive lineup yet.

Following a five-year hiatus, electro-soul pioneer Pretty Lights will headline Hulaween as his only East Coast festival performance on his Soundship Spacesystem Tour. It's been nearly two decades since Pretty Lights started originating his signature, sample-heavy sounds that redefined America’s electronic music scene, and his exclusive East Coast festival set at Hulaween promises to showcase vibrant, bass-fueled sounds to the festival’s feverish audience.

Known globally for his playful demeanor and rip-roaring sets, tech-house maestro John Summit marks another Hulaween headliner. The Beatport chart-shredder will host Hulaween’s first-ever takeover by Off The Grid, Summit’s party-starting imprint, which will offer up sets by label favorites famed for igniting dance floors.

Other electronic music heavyweights headlining Hulaween include Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist/producer Elderbrook, producer polymath Big Wild, and revered house producer/vocalist Channel Tres.

On the jam side of the lineup, Hulaween founders The String Cheese Incident will serve up three nights of headlining performances. Phish-offshoot Trey Anastasio Band and critically-acclaimed indie-jam five piece Goose will play consecutive sets on the same night, following their joint tour across the North East last fall. Other headlining bands include Hulaween staple Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (2 sets), the Hulaween debut of Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, and legendary roots-rock outfit Dispatch.

Hulaween will also welcome neo-soul rapper Smino as the festival’s sole hip-hop headliner, as well as a headlining set by five-piece indie rock band Mt. Joy. One additional band headliner remains yet to be announced, coming later in April.

The festival will present a bevy of in-demand, electronic music support acts, including Montreal producer BLOND:ISH, underground bass purveyor Eprom, multi-faceted Italian DJ/producer duo Gioli & Assia, ascendent bass producer ISOxo, genre-bending producer Manic Focus, ascendent trailblazer Moore Kismet, bass-focused producer supergroup Lab Group, and future-funk maestro Yung Bae.

Staying true to its band-focused roots, Hulaween will boast a medley of celebrated acts including funk-fusion ensemble Lettuce, funk-jam group Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and critically-acclaimed, Anatolian rock/Turkish psychedelic folk outfit Altin Gün.

The Hulaween 2023 lineup is brimming with more than 90 acts that cover all corners of the dance floor. Over the course of the past decade, Hulaween has hosted a plethora of genre-crossing artists the Spirit of the Suwannee’s idyllic grounds, which serves as perfect setting for attendees to fully immerse themselves in Florida’s lush, enchanting nature. 

Hulaween’s Spirit Lake is heralded as one of the leading immersive art experiences across American festivals, brimming with talented sculptors, fire/metal workers, painters, thespians, and lighting designers. Attendees can revel in lakefront projection mapping, hypnotizing light shows, interactive installations, and both visual and performance art, catch performances at Spirit Lake’s two stages, and groove into sunrise at the Silent Disco.
