Time Warp Mexico (Mexico City, Mexico) 2026

Time Warp Mexico takes place on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November 2026 at Expo Santa Fe in Mexico City. It is the first time the German techno brand comes to Mexico, and the official line-up includes Sven Väth, Ben Klock, Helena Hauff, Maceo Plex, Indira Paganotto and a live set from Reinier Zonneveld.

What is Time Warp Mexico?

Time Warp started in Mannheim in 1994 and still calls its German edition “the original since 1994”. Over the last two decades it has added editions in São Paulo, New York, Madrid and other cities, always with the same idea: long nights, several floors and a heavy focus on production, light and sound.

The Mexico City edition is billed on the official Time Warp website as a “New Edition 2026” and as the first time Time Warp arrives in Mexico. The organisers describe it as two days “shaped by the essence of house and techno”, which matches the line-up: classic techno, Berlin club names, Detroit electro and a handful of house DJs.

Time Warp runs two other new North American dates in the same month: Time Warp New York on 20 and 21 November and Time Warp Los Angeles on 27 and 28 November. The next German edition is Time Warp Mannheim on 3 April 2027.

When does it start and how do you buy tickets?

According to the official Time Warp page, both days run from 17:00 to 02:00. Admission is 18+. Tickets are sold through Ticketmaster México, which lists single-day tickets for Friday and Saturday and two-day passes (“abono”), each in a General category and a Banamex Stage VIP category. Prices are shown on Ticketmaster and change by sales phase, so check there before you plan.

How do you get to Expo Santa Fe?

Expo Santa Fe is a large exhibition and convention centre in Santa Fe, the business district in the west of Mexico City, in the Álvaro Obregón borough. The official address is Av. Santa Fe 270, Col. Santa Fe. Santa Fe is a long way from the historic centre and from Roma and Condesa, so allow for traffic when you travel in the late afternoon, and plan the ride home after 02:00 in advance.

If you are building a trip around it, Mexico City has other big electronic dates in the coming months, such as MUTEK Mexico in November and EDC Mexico in February 2027. See every upcoming date on our techno festivals calendar.
