THE UNDERTONES (UK)
“Here Comes the Summer”! And no matter what happens, you can mix up the Aperol, because yesterday we received a confirmation from one of our all-time favorites: THE UNDERTONES! We'll spare you a band history at this point, because THE UNDERTONES are undoubtedly in the illustrious ranks of bands that are almost naturally liked by all people with functioning hearing. Or maybe not? In the league we might spontaneously think of The Jam, The Clash and Cock Sparrer. Because if you've never hummed along to "Teenage Kicks", you've never loved punk rock, we can all agree on that! Still amazed that it worked out for us and the Northern Irish legend: Welcome to Glaubitz THE UNDERTONES!

Finally: PISSE!
That should actually be enough as an announcement text, right? We had already had the four Ronnys on the flyer several times, but unfortunately it never worked out due to circumstances. We now even have the ammonia smell situation next to the tent stage under control, so the next step in the 2024 improvement marathon is to put PISS in the flesh on that very spot. Look forward to one of the rare shows from one of the most interesting bands in the game, finally PISS on the Back To Future!

P.I.Y. - PUNK-IT-YOURSELF- KARAOKE (GER)
July 2024. 30 degrees in the shade, lunchtime. The first breakfast beers have been processed, we are located in the forest pool in the community of Glaubitz. The liver is already busy. Someone has the idea “We could have a cocktail now?” Yes, why not? “Blitzkrieg Bop” by the Ramones comes through one of those annoying portable jukeboxes. Actually quite nice here. There's also a Misfits song playing now, but hey, do they have a new singer yet? That sounds terrible. Terrible. Moment. That sounds like the guy we were at the counter with yesterday! What the hell is that? P.I.Y. PUNK ROCK KARAOKE is back! Anyone who has ever experienced the Dresden trio live knows what's going on: The band has 50-60 (probably a lot more now) of our, your absolute favorite songs in stock - they play, you sing: From Loikaemie to Wizo, from Cock Sparrer to the pants, from Slime to Adicts. Great fun for young and old, for punk and skin, for you and me! IN THE FOREST BATH!

DRITTE WAHL (GER)
“They’ll become something!” ...so in 1998, when Back To Future took place for the first time in Glaubitz, a slightly tipsy, tall man whispered in my ear. He had a striking resemblance to “Then and Now” co-organizer Daniel and I didn’t believe a word he said. 25 years later and DRITTE WAHL are undoubtedly one of the most popular bands in the country. With a new album, an almost bombastic live show by punk standards and a sold-out hall tour behind us, we are more than happy that these friendly gentlemen from the north will be our guests again. Dynamic punk rock with a slight metal touch, balanced lyrics and that certain something of authenticity that many other German-speaking bands unfortunately lack. Daniel was right...

CHUBBY AND THE GANG (UK)
You can lift your lower jaws again - YES! - CHUBBY AND THE GANG play at Back To Future! One of the most exciting British bands of recent years, delivering a furious mix of styles from everything we love London for as a musical melting pot: punk, Oi!, mod, glam & pub rock, power pop, blues, hardcore. The trade press is going crazy and we are beaming like crazy that we actually managed to sign the team!
Don't be surprised by the picture! As befits real hooligans, there is currently only one photo of the leader of the gang!

Oi!RONIE (GER)
“Workless Class Streetpunk” and an Oi! in the name: An ironic oxymoron like forest bathing vs. rain jacket or rhubarbara vs. no headache the next day. But actually everyone loves Oi! Music - and seriously - who wants to work? OI!RONIE have been breaking genre constraints in a refreshing way for a few years now, are a force live and the whole band stumbles around the festival grounds every year, slightly tipsy anyway. Oi! It's German punk with a snotty Berlin snout, lots of charisma and very likeable people. Welcome to Back To Future!

BAD NERVES (UK)
Wikipedia says about "insider tip": 1. Useful information that should only be forwarded to one or a special group of people. 2. (colloquial) particularly good place.
Of course, an insider tip is no longer an insider tip if we reveal it here to the whole world. The second thing - that Glaubitz is a “particularly good place” - you have known that for a long time. However, we - and we're a bit proud of this - always had one or two “insider tips” ready, i.e. bands that suddenly became “everyone's favorite band” immediately after Back To Future. Everyone already knew them and so on... CLOWNS, PRIVATE FUNCTION, GUIDA, GET DEAD, JAYA THE CAT... We hope you've checked out what we're desperately trying to tell you here?

100 KILO HERZ (GER)
“Yes, yes Back To Future, you always with your old German punk legends and UK/US classics, sometimes you don’t even notice what’s happening outside the box!” - Please what? Uprising, mutiny, even criticism?
Well, the shame can probably be dumped on us by the bucketful: after all, there is a punk-affinous band just a few kilometers away who are doing their own (“Dirt + Glitter”) festival (!) and are going extremely high in the charts (!!), playing in the Gewandhaus (!!!), are somehow on everyone's lips and we still haven't guided them to Glaubitz?! It's long overdue for 100 KILO HERZ to show us how their brass punk works live. Somewhere between Fine Cream Fish Fillet, Rantanplan and Mad Caddies. We are sure that 100 KILO HERZ will be a guest perhaps for the first time, but certainly not for the last!

RUMKICKS (KR)
Luckily, we on the booking team are good advocates of “we always look at the opening acts”, otherwise we would have missed out on the fantastic kicks on the last Casualties tour. Holla the forest fairy, the ladies from South Korea are tearing the place down so much that the floppy Mohawk gets up again by himself! Good mood high-speed punk somewhere between Toy Dolls and Bad Cop/Bad Cop, all in the classic UK82 exploited look? On tour in summer! Then they have to go to Glaubitz!

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
The only thing you always seem to think of as a Christmas present is a BTF ticket, at least that's what you could assume from the increased number of orders on our homepage in the last few days. That's an honor for us, of course, as there aren't many other alternatives.
Since we are also receiving more inquiries about shipping times, we have decided to now answer orders within 12 hours and ship paid tickets up to and including Wednesday. This means that if you transfer your order on Tuesday, your Tix will be sent by post on Wednesday and should be under the tree or whatever on time.
All important information is linked below. We'll continue to work on a colorful line up...
