PRE-SALES: All presale offices are included Sufficient tickets stocked, all information about shops and online sales points can be found under »TICKETS. The box office prices are there for comparison. The weather will be fine, because dormouse don't lie :-)
CARRIAGE OPPORTUNITIES: In order not to have to throw your coal down the throat of the mineral oil companies, thanks to »MITREISEN.NET we have put a cool alternative under »DIRECTIONS on the site. Make plenty of use of it, then you have more money for the festival and you already have a lot of fun. on the journey to get to know each other.
There have already been two fine radio programs for the BTF. German punk FICHLI was so enthusiastic about the BTF festival and our audience at his premiere last year that he immediately started a special show on »PUNK RADIO. On the other hand, Connie and Holm were guests at Rüdi's »POGORADIO or should the visit now be viewed as a cooking duel? Cool show, in which we had to reveal more than we would have liked :-).
Well, now probably the most important question of all for some. When is the RUNNING ORDER? Wait two or three days and it will be online. More information
follow, keep checking back...
P.S.: ...an event tip for all those who live in the region:
The Mazze invites you on July 9th back to »CWH GROSSENHAIN. There is of course a cool punk rock mix with the Italian speed rock grenade »ANTARES! Like the "Fist on the eye" or rather like "the ass on the bucket" go well with the »VOLT GHOSTS made from Rosswein! »DIE PIPES from Dresden have great 77 sound in their repertoire. WARSYSTEM play a little rough HC and the soloist CRAIC AND ROLL has just joined the band, letting the evening fade away with his acoustic guitar and a couple of nice cover songs. Of course there is canned sound until dawn, sounds very promising,
let's go!

EVENT TIPPS
With the BACK TO FUTURE 2011 we set the stage for 28 bands from 11 nations! As you know us, we don't just look for the big names. We also let bands gamble, which we think are just great and suitable for our festival. Surely there are a few here and there that you haven't heard much of. To give you an idea of this, our BAND DESCRIPTIONS are below
»LINE UP online. Links to websites and videos included. Have fun researching.
The replacement for ZERO BOYS is still being sought and we are confident that we will find a comparable band.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
RUHRPOTT RODEO 2011: Good Alex has again invited a number of well-known bands to Pentecost (June 11-12): JELLO BIAFRA And The Guantanamo
School Of Medicine, DWARVES, THE DAMNED, THE ADICTS, MISFITS, RAZZIA, TROOPERS, BONE FACTORY, THE CASHIERS and many, many more.
We are on! Don't miss the festival at the airfield in Hünxe. You can find info »HERE

that has it all. THE GENERATORS (US), THE FREEZE (US), NOTHINGTON (US) and VOLT GHOSTS (RecordRelease-Party) are already there,

The days come the band descriptions on the site! You certainly didn't miss the fact that two great acts were added: SARAH BLACKWOOD (CAN) and THE FIALKY (CZ).
Unfortunately, we also got less good news. The ZERO BOYS are postponing their tour. Here's singer Paul Mahern: "Unfortunately, I have a new job and am unable to leave at this time to tour." That's more than annoying, because many were already looking forward to this band... but as Steve Aktiv said aptly "The punker has to go to work too!" Of course, let's take a look at what's an alternative.

EVENT TIP
The good Mazze, who is responsible for the design of this homepage and several flyers, invites you to the Conny-Wessmann-Haus in Grossenhain on Thursday! "Rotterdamned Punk Attack!" will be the motto, because KEZUS KRIJST has a concentrated load of old UK punk on the boards, which gets rounded off particularly well by rude HC! The rock'n'roll chicks from DRUGSMOKKEL are there, and their sound should wake up even the most tired dancers, because it's from bands like MOTÖRHEAD, GUNS'N'ROSES, AC/DC, GIRLSCHOOL, ... decisively influenced! The third band of the evening joined at short notice and is not from Rotterdam. BLU82-B come from Decin, CZ and play melodic HC punk, which offers real fireworks with fast-paced trash interludes!
The starting shot is punctually at 7 p.m.! Competitors who are less enthusiastic about work can look forward to the after-show party with bands and crew!

Well, maybe this world just narrowly avoided another nuclear catastrophe, time will tell. Postponed is not cancelled. But we have the safest nuclear power plants on earth and have mastered the technology like no other nation :-) ...and there are no earthquakes in Europe anyway. So we can get back to business as usual. And for us that means Back To Future and first of all our little Unity Festival, with well-known greats of different genres, next week in Oschatz.
You can still do up to and including for the concert next Saturday at the E-Werk 03/18 Order presale tickets via »OUR PAGE or directly via »PUNK.DE. Of course there is also box office. Admission is at 7 p.m., sharp start at 8 p.m.... so don't jet off at the last minute.

BTF-UPDATE
As the freaks among you have probably already spotted, our festival is becoming even more exclusive. NABAT - the Italian OI! legends from the 80s and 90s are playing their only Germany concert at the BTF this year. You could count her shows in the last two years on one hand, sometimes political solo concerts in her hometown of Bologna or sometimes exclusively with COCK SPARRER in Paris. We are all the happier about their commitment. The line up also includes Berlin punk rockers FIGHTBALL and Dresden psychos HOWLING WOLFMEN, two great newcomer bands from the last few years.
And now a little treat. Since our homepage has been damaged in the last few weeks and we have received an increasing number of e-mail inquiries about the ticket campaign, we have canceled the ticket campaign until March 31st. extended. So everyone still has time to place orders using the ticket form, which is working again. If in doubt, also directly via »PUNK.DE.
