FESTIVAL CANCELLED KNOCHENFABRIK
It's not due to poorer visual behavior on your part, KNOCHENFABRIK really isn't on the flyer anymore. And that even though we had already fully announced Claus & Co.
"Was ist bloß passiert?" Well, unfortunately a scheduling conflict prevents the band from appearing at BACK TO FUTURE, but we are already in very positive discussions for next year's edition. We say SORRY with a heavy heart and hope that this downer remains the only one in terms of band cancellations.

BACK TO FUTURE 2024, The Final Flyer
Glaubitz is calling - with fantastic bands, a relaxed festival atmosphere and our proven credo “Punk Rock Wellness”! If you want, you can dent your helmet at lunchtime in the Waldbad, just a stone's throw away, because the first bands of the day are there! Then we get down to business on the main stage and tent stage until late into the night: because punk is simply the hottest thing! We hope we've met your taste when it comes to booking and from now on the following applies: help us spread the flyer as widely as possible. Back To Future 2024, how cool will that be?

What the hell?
BLITZKID seem to be just as excited about the BACK TO FUTURE as we are! As a reward, the West Virginia horror punks will probably go to the haunted tent at night!
Wonderful alternative poster design, maybe we'll just praise a few extra beer brands for original special festival flyers? Anyone up for it, anyone?

Last weekend in Leipzig
The first Back To Future organizational crew meeting in 2024 with 20 people. The motivation level is high, there are some new ideas, the coffee machine was busy and of course we were all just happy to see each other again.
We're done booking for this year, unless the Ramones rise again or we really come across an unbeatable treat.
Critical voices about last year's Back To Future edition were heard, suggestions for improvement were discussed and we will try to implement some things within the framework of (especially) financial feasibility. Otherwise, the festival should remain as relaxed as before for everyone involved. That's water level report number 1, more will follow in the coming weeks.
We're excited, ONLY 163 DAYS LEFT UNTIL THE FIRST VOLUME!
A big thank you goes out to CONNE ISLAND and their crew for two days of delicious catering and use of the cafe.

THE BRIEFS (US)
After baking you a hopefully very tasty cake in the last few weeks, we're now putting the famous cherry on top: Because always, really every time the Spotify algorithm or the bar DJ hits you with a song by this band, your pulse rises and your mood suddenly improves: welcome back to THE BRIEFS! Back To Future plus THE BRIEFS, a combination like thunder and lightning, mirror and egg, vanilla and ice cream - hit after hit! Feel free to argue about who has the title of best Neo '77 punk band, the BRIEFS are definitely at the top of the podium - wearing sun glasses and freshly blonded. The joy couldn't be greater that it worked out again with the Seattle darlings! Now get your advance tickets, plan your trip to Glaubitz, write to a dog sitter, train your liver: We have a date!

PUNKROIBER (GER)
The fact that DIE PUNKROIBER want to throw the instruments away after exactly 30 years of band history - as they announced a few days ago - could easily be reconsidered. In any case, for us it was a no-brainer to point the phone towards Thuringia and sign the men for a (supposedly) last Back To Future show. "The first, the last and this year only festival show!" - yes, that almost sounds like an advertising text from the XYZ festival, but that's probably true. Our gang is thick, even in the years when they weren't celebrating on stage, a few punk roibers are and have always been there! Regular guests (preferably with children & cones), friends, critical and enthusiastic companions of our festival!
Welcome again this year, and maybe you'll think about dissolving it again, at the latest when our stage head Jüschn really puts you in a headlock...

THIS IS GLAUBITZ, NOT L.A.
We are now on the home stretch of the 2024 Back To Future announcement marathon, and with THE FREEZE we have once again reached deep into the treasure trove of punk rock history. One of the oldest and most legendary East Coast hardcore punk bands is performing in the cultural "Land Of The Lost" between Leipzig and Dresden! We are looking forward to THE FREEZE, we are looking forward to summer, see you in front of the stage!

MIKE & THE ASSFUCKERS (GER)
Who said "You don't have enough German punk this year!", who asked "Where are all the young artists?" and who volunteers to be the final opponent for piss and third choice in the fight for the festival's most German-punk band name? Voila, we have a very special treat for you! MIKE AND THE ASSFUCKERS, the new hellish product from the area of the legendary Torgau bridgehead. The quartet has been shaking up the (Eastern) punk world for a few months now as if time had stood still in the late 80s or early 90s. Without much effort, the listener inevitably remembers the unrivaled Slime-Keim, even Jake Casualty gave the thumbs up via Instagram in faraway America. "Pogo in der Straßenb..." in the forest pool Saturday lunchtime!

THE VAGEENAS (GER)
If we look at our previous announcement flyer through rose-colored glasses, we are almost satisfied. Nearly. Yes, yes, actually. Rose-colored glasses off - ok, maybe something is still missing: We already have more than enough fidget Philipps on board with the CYANIDE PILLS, the PISSED ONES or the SPITS, but what about the fidget girls? Rose-colored glasses on. Wait a minute, THE VAGEENAS are definitely missing here!
Founded 30 years ago in the gray Ruhr area, an absolute '77 punk institution, brash, loud, groovy and crazy!
Singer Babette, who is undoubtedly something of an epitome of the pink fidget Philipp, plus her " Punk Rockers From Hell" at Back To Future 2024 - what could go wrong?

THE RUNNINGS (GER)
Who is actually playing under the pavilion this year, which in our delusions of grandeur we would like to sell to you in a very picturesque way as “The Waldbad Stage”? A spoiler regarding the RUNNING order? THE RUNNINGS will hit you with an energetic rock n' roll cocktail somewhere between the Baboon Show and the Donnas at a relatively early hour - the hangover won't stand a chance! Laura, Vince, Seb and Andy probably reads wonderfully on an imaginary Ramones logo, welcome to Back To Future!
