THE BABOON SHOW (SWE)
After the band's sweet Sunday video shoutout, now officially complete with photo, graphics, wrapping paper, and a bow: THE BABOON SHOW are returning to Back to the Future. One of, if not the best live band on the planet, natural force Cecilia has raised the bar so high in the discipline of "physical performance while singing" that Helene Fischer and Campino can only go home sadly. We're delighted that the Swedish quartet, one of the bands you've always wanted to see, is sailing back into the Punk Rock Harbour Glaubitz.

THE BABOON SHOW AT BACK TO FUTURE 2025
We still owe you the obscured placeholder in the previously released poster! If we had held a guessing game, one or two people would surely have guessed the band that has been hiding behind it (until now): We're looking forward to the return of arguably the best live band in the entire punk rock cosmos right now – THE BABOON SHOW!

FLYER FOR THE BACK TO FUTURE 2025!
...and there it is finally, our (almost) finished announcement graphic for the BACK TO FUTURE 2025! Of course we still have one or two surprises up our sleeves, for example up there on the left, we have taped a headliner band that we will announce in a few weeks. There will also be something happening in the middle positions, don't worry! We hope that the program has met your taste again and we are already looking forward to a huge party in the summer! Feel free to distribute the first BTF25 flyer online.
At the moment, however, the party atmosphere is deep in the basement. The unfortunately expected election results from last Sunday in our region are causing us more than just concern. Nobody knows how long subculture will be possible in rural areas. The future will tell, even if the clouds on the horizon are gloomy.
Some of you may have noticed when looking at the flyer, unfortunately MAID OF ACE had to cancel their show with us. We are working on an adequate replacement!
We had around 300 band applications for this year, which was total madness for such a small forest and meadow festival in the “ass of the world”, thank you for that! Unfortunately, we were unable to respond to all inquiries via personal email. Please forgive us - it was just too much in bulk, in addition to the entire BTF planning, we all still have regular jobs, families and lots of other obligations.
In order to have planning security, we ask you: Use the advance booking. Even if no one can hear the phrases anymore: advance sales ensure the continued existence of your favorite festival. Isso. Let's go!

P.I.Y. - PUNK-IT-YOURSELF- PUNKROCK-KARAOKE (GER)
“You wanted the best, you got the best!” - Yes, exactly, the old saying from KISS, it really applies to our darlings from the P.I.Y. PUNK ROCK KARAOKE too! You want the boys and of course you get them! After the escalation last year, we were still lashed in our swimming trunks with a handshake for 2025! There's not much to imagine anymore; While you get busy on the microphone, the band euphorically plays through the songs from COCK SPARRER to TERRORGRUPPE, from SLIME to DISTILLERS. For many a secret headliner! The same applies again: Friday lunchtime, forest bath - one or two encouraging beers and then: PUNKROCK KARAOKE!
22 Feb
EAST END CHAOS (GER)
Clear the ring for the BTF debut of EAST END CHAOS! The moment these lines are hammered into a Word document, the East Saxons are preparing to play their heroes LOIKAEMIE against the wall. Tonight, Chemo Dresden, just as a reminder! The reference and the band name suggest it: Somewhere between REJECTS and LOIKAEMIE, EAST END CHAOS are undoubtedly one of the best German-speaking street punk combos, authentic, bright and with smart lyrics. We also have experienced singing and drinking regulars at our festival - we're looking forward to Roman, Israr, Nico and Stefan!
20 Feb
MAD SIN (GER)
With MAD SIN, old friends finally return to the BACK TO FUTURE! Without a doubt one of the most brilliant live bands of the last decades! The Berliners combine full-throttle rock'n'roll, psychobilly and punk in their very own style, anyone who doesn't fidget at least a little is probably already dead. MAD SIN is always a spectacle and you can actually feel sorry for the band that has to go on stage in the running order after Köfte and co. After 12 long years back at the riding arena, welcome to MAD SIN!

THE OBSERVERS (US)
And whoever says RED DONS also has to say THE OBSERVERS! Damn axe, Jesus Mary and Joseph, all the gods in the world, THE OBSERVERS on Back To Future - 20 years after the band actually broke up and only appeared on stage again sporadically (2017 and 2024). We're talking about nothing less than a small sensation and we're delighted that we've managed to lure this fantastic band to the Saxon pampas! See you in front of the stage and listen to the incredibly awesome LP “So What’s Left Now” for the rest of the week starting today!
