SPIDER FOR PISSE
So now we're hit hard again, or rather PISSE has hit us. Sick. There's nothing you can do, but the gig is off. Damn it, what was there at the Fusion. First FCKR now PISSE.
But be careful, we have a great replacement band. SPIDER from California. The connoisseurs click their tongues, and rightly so. California punk rock from seasoned warriors. Don't you know yet? It's about time!
Again briefly about PISSE, they hope to be able to catch up on their performance in Glaubitz next year.

ATTENTION: FOREST FIRE LEVEL 5
Unfortunately, this incredibly great summer weather also has a downside. Fields, meadows and forests are bone dry and forest fire level 5 has now been reported.
We would like to expressly point out once again that no open fires are permitted. There are no discussions there. No! Please be careful with your cigarettes and at the end of the evening your buddy who needs a sports cigarette on the way to the tent. You can certainly imagine what happens when a field or forest catches fire. For now, a spark is enough.
We will set up sand-filled cans on the site where you can safely dispose of your butts. Please use it, we haven't eaten anything other than applesauce for weeks. It shouldn't have been for anything else.

AUSSCHREITUNG AND FRAU MÜLLER
Yes, this year we finally have a suitable setting for two local acts who want to present themselves to you. Friday it's hot in the bathroom, DIE BADMATADORE are playing and just before the old men invite you to swimming lessons, oh no at the Mülheim Rock'n'Roll High School, AUSSCHREITUNG from Lauchhamer will give you a cold shower.
On Saturday there will be surprise number 2. FRAU MÜLLER dumps her junk in the forest pool and heats up the heat for the PUNKROCK KARAOKE. Nadja and her boys are really happy and are sure to leave Rosswein orphaned behind on this day.

BTF-CHECK: LOKALMATADORE
What else can you say about this group? Your name The local heroes are to be taken seriously with us, even if they are actually also in the pot. Olé, Olé, Olééé:
With us for the 17th time. You've finally been able to buy alcohol for a year now. Which drink will you dedicate yourself to and why? Or do you just use the opportunity to smoke unmolested?
Nobody smokes anymore. Since it's my first time at the festival, I want to take it slow, get on my bike and look around for Saxon wine. Or is there a well-chilled Müller-Thurgau from Meissen on the festival grounds? Proschwitz Castle isn't bad either.
What would you do on the second weekend in July if Back To Future didn't exist?
Then I would be on vacation, the school holidays usually coincide with the festival.
What would have to happen for you not to come to Glaubitz on the second weekend in July?
This could only be due to medical reasons.
Which of you uses which toothpaste and also has the nicest cooking pot?
We are all enthusiastic cooks, so functionality is important, not beauty.
I don't know about toothpaste, but I hope everyone uses some. Modern people use dental oil without fluoride.
We have never seen any of you in the water in the forest pool. Doesn't anyone really have at least the bronze seahorse?
It's all a lie, we are often in the water, even from the 3 meter diving platform, as you can see in videos.
We even went into the bathroom after the counter closed (don't tell anyone else, otherwise we'll be banned from the house!).
Who actually are these bathroom matadors?
There is something in the dark / alcoholically nebulous.
In summer, the troupe hangs around on the sheet piling of the Rhine-Herne Canal and wears swimwear during their performances.
That's why "Bad", or is that English? “Bad = Bad”. People will hear it.
Does anyone have a joke?
ludicrous.com
Really sad, written jokes are no good.
Best “Live”: Blüm had a great moment in the bathroom last year, we enjoyed it all day long!
Maybe he'll tell you the joke again.

BTF-CHECK: CYNIDE PILLS
Yeah, the '77 Grenade Cyanide Pills are finally with us. We're looking forward to that and they don't seem averse to it either. Have a read:
What do you think about the Back To Future?
So far we've only heard good things. It's great that you booked us, we're really excited. It's also great that Nasyt Rumors are playing, we love those guys.
Have you heard about our forest bath? Take shorts with you.
To swim? Nope, that's way too dangerous when you're drunk. We'll focus more on the beer. Oh and shorts, pfff. We love our shorts tight, black and long to our ankles. Let's see, maybe we'll swim in them then.
There is also a punk rock karaoke there. What are you singing?
Me And My Buddies” by The Flys or “Blockbuster” by The Sweet
What is important about a good festival?
Beer, good music, beer, nice people, beer, the best possible weather and beer.
Finished: Being on stage means... ...doing our thing and hoping that people like it.

These are 45 questions that will not only make you think, but also get you physically moving. How come? Let yourself be surprised.

FCKR AND PRE-SALE END
We received the following message from FCKR: "There is bad news. Unfortunately, we have to cancel the btf for health reasons. We are very sorry about that... it's not just you who are affected. All upcoming concerts have to be canceled. Please understand We hope that we can make up for it next year. Anyway, have a nice festival."
This means that the second band has already been confirmed for next year. We wish you the best recovery and toi toi toi!
On Sunday you have the last chance to presell via our website! Since we ideally want to send the tickets, you must have ordered by Sunday. So get to it now. On Monday and Tuesday you can then click on the presale positions indicated.
You can still get tickets at the other advance booking points up to and including Tuesday and then at the box office.

BTF-CHECK: ARRESTED DENIAL
Just finish the sentence: Making music is... ...in my subjective perception, it has unfortunately recently been replaced to some extent by a somewhat exaggerated self-portrayal and image cultivation on the part of some bands. It always has a bit of Manowar to it, just with a slightly different focus. It would be kind of nice if everyone would concentrate on making music and writing a few lyrics beyond the usual three keywords instead of just spending the whole day on the networks as a mouthpiece for this or that thing. Somehow the music falls by the wayside. Of course, this cannot be generalized, but the trend certainly seems to be there at the moment.
Which other band are you looking forward to seeing? Phew, that's a pretty cool line-up overall, but of course the bands that you don't really have on your list yet are often interesting. This would be Demerit from Beijing, for example, to name a name apart from the usual suspects. It's just a shame they don't sing in Chinese. But maybe they can be changed spontaneously on site
What do you know about Back To Future and what can you expect from your first time? None of us have been there yet, so we're just waiting to be surprised. In terms of landscape, this is a pretty nice corner where you live. I am also an avowed East Germany fan and played in Riesa almost 100 years ago, which was quite a demolition party. So it can only be great.
Would you like to briefly introduce yourself to the visitors? We come from Hamburg and play melodic punk rock with a few offbeat elements. As the name suggests, now only with German texts. We have been around since 2009 and have now released 3 albums and a split 7 inch. We have been based on Mad Butcher Records since 2013.
You care pretty deeply about anti-fascism. Would you like to make a statement about this? Actually not, no. I think the people reading this can all count on 3 and come from a similar background as us, so I don't think we need to make any big statements about it.
How disturbing is it for you that the headquarters of the monthly NPD newspaper Deutsche Stimme is just around the corner in Riesa? Let's look at it the other way around: you've been organizing an anti-fascist festival in their front yard for years several thousand visitors. I think this is quite disturbing for the NPD...

HERE'S A LITTLE NOTE...
... that this year we have our own merch, brought by the Ruhrpott buddies from the Plastic Bomb Fanzine. In addition to shirts, there will also be hoodies and track jackets.
