RIOT YOGA (GER)
Insiders are already whispering about the "Beer Cobra at Back To Future." Curious what that’s all about? Find out on BTF Friday at 11:00 AM during Beer Yoga with Simmi from Riot Yoga at the Waldbad Glaubitz. Come along to stretch, bend, and get a little tipsy while you're at it—that’s how exercise should be! ...plus, your back—which might be starting to complain after a night on a sleeping mat—will appreciate a good stretch. No prior yoga experience is needed; just bring a desire to move and a taste for beer (or any other drink)!
Friday | 11:00 AM | Waldbad
P.S. We recommend bringing your own sleeping mat, a blanket, or a large towel! Ice-cold beer and other drinks are available at the Waldbad. Insiders are already familiar with Simmi’s annual routine, which is becoming increasingly popular.

KLABUSTERBÄREN (GER)
"If you want peace and quiet, move to the countryside"—who knows how many residents of our sleepy little town actually own the KLABUSTERBÄREN’s latest album, which bears that very title. For the *Back to Future* weekend, at least, that motto certainly doesn't apply. It’s three days of sonic bombardment, and one band responsible for delivering the goods will be the gentlemen from Halle.

BACK TO FUTURE 2026 – The Daily Schedule Is Set!
As promised, today we’re releasing the daily schedule for this year’s BACK TO FUTURE festival. This is particularly important for anyone who might need to secure a "sick note" (or something similar) just in case. The final running order—complete with exact set times and all the other bells and whistles—will follow a few days before the festival kicks off. Starting now, online day tickets for Friday and Saturday can be purchased in advance via TixForGigs for €45.00 (plus fees). As with previous editions of the festival, tickets for the "Warm-Up Thursday" will be available exclusively at the box office on-site.
Those with keen, eagle eyes will surely notice the absence of our favorite band from Chemnitz: LOUSY. Unfortunately, it seems they made a massive mix-up while planning one of their band members' vacations. To avoid any domestic strife within the band—and in true, inimitable LOUSY-frontman style—they requested to postpone their performance by one year. We accepted this request, albeit through gritted teeth. Sadly, there’s nothing to be done about it. Stepping in as their "replacement" are the equally likable KLABUSTERBÄREN from Halle, whom we’ll be introducing to you in more detail over the coming days.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone, and enjoy the weather!

Supporting Program
We are all absolutely stoked for SCHLEIMKEIM’s performance at this year’s Back To Future festival. Nostalgia trip or not, the band’s songs still possess an uncanny allure—one that transcends generations. Perhaps this is a perfect opportunity to dive a little deeper into the subject matter? We’ve managed to secure Frank Willmann—one of the two authors behind the book *Satan, kannst du mir noch mal verzeihen?*—to give a short reading as part of our festival lineup. A reading? Say what? That’s right: on Friday at the Waldbad, Frank will give you a brief glimpse into his work; he’ll read excerpts from *Satan* for half an hour and will surely be happy to answer any questions you might have. Let’s just see how "serious" it all comes across while wearing nothing but swim trunks!
Frank is also the author of books covering topics ranging from East German hooligans and Serbian war criminals to post-reunification East German biographies—what a character!

We're not completely out of touch and we know that the key to catching your social media-damaged attention spans is constant bombardment across all channels. Nevertheless, we also consider classic poster and flyer campaigns extremely important. Long story short: Who has the time and inclination to help us distribute these things at concerts and in their favorite pub? We currently need the support of our BTF community, so please get in touch via »MAIL with your name and address.
Otherwise, we'll actually create a TikTok channel and post a dance video every day – nobody wants that, right?
