NEWS & UPDATES
00 DAYS TO GO (00:00:00)
Yeah, exactly a week ago we put the finishing touch on the comeback, and we are overjoyed!
And once again, we’re incredibly grateful. It’s amazing to see how well everything works when everyone is truly fired up about it—from the bands, the crew, the association, and Kombi Nünchritz to the municipality, the neighbors, the Waldbad (!), and, of course, all of you: our loyal and new fans! None of this would be possible without you.
A special thank you goes out to everyone who donated their 2025 ticket to us!
We’re going to take a little time to rest now, but we’ll be back very soon with info on 2027.
Have a great rest of the summer.

BTF Lost and Found
Take a look—here are some of the items that have been found.
There are also a few ID cards and bank cards.
If you’re missing anything, come to the Glaubitz sports clubhouse.

Another change of plans. Unfortunately
But it’s the last one of the year. Hopefully...
In any case, Bombstrap can't make it. We don't know the exact details.
On the bright side, we’re looking forward to our buddies from Skinsects—Oi! punk galore from Dresden.

Ouch, the worst has happened.
Die PIY - Punkrock Karaoke musste heute krankheitsbedingt ihren Auftritt kurzfristig absagen. Al hatte heute ne unvermeidliche OP am Finger! Absagevideo folgt wenn es in Glaubitz mal wieder Internetempfang gibt.

Hmph, it’s got us.
Collaps, too—they can't make it on short notice due to personal reasons. It's a real shame, but nothing can be done about it. We wish the band all the best.
It’s absolutely brilliant, though, that the Leipzig hardcore-punk band Dope End are available and able to step in so quickly.
Thanks for that!

!!! Hands on the table, everyone listen !!!
The Back To Future Festival kicks off TOMORROW and we can hardly wait! Before you pack your bags, tents, and beer, here’s everything you need to know:
THE CAMPING AREA
The gates open tomorrow (Thursday) at 9:00 AM.
ATTENTION: CHANGE!
This year, the box office is located IN FRONT of the festival grounds, not at the campsite. So don't just head straight there blindly like last year—things have been rearranged! You can also buy wristbands for the forest pool there if you want to go for a swim between sets.
To our neighbors in Glaubitz:
Show your ID and get in for free—just like every year. You guys are the best.
Also:
* Thieves don't sleep while you do. Unfortunately, organized theft does happen, usually at night. Please lock valuables in your car; don't leave them lying out in your tent.
* Took your eyes off your drink for a moment? Get a fresh one; don't keep drinking it. Date-rape drugs are a real risk. Look out for each other.
* There is no room for racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, catcalling, or unwanted advances—not even in the mosh pit. If you can't behave yourself, feel free to stay home. If there are problems, speak to the crew or security.
* No open fires, grilling, pyrotechnics, or gas cylinders in the camping or festival areas. Glass is prohibited, too. And please: no stickers, tagging, or graffiti—we want to be welcome back in Glaubitz next year!
* The federal highway next door is busy with traffic, even in the 30 km/h zone. So, when crossing in the dark, it’s better to look twice than to get run over.
* In the event of severe weather or schedule changes, we’ll keep you updated via social media—so keep an eye out and follow the instructions of the crew and security on site.
If anything is missing here, please check the homepage. You can find all the »INFO gathered there for you to read through at your leisure.

Do you guys remember Jette?
She’s the heart and soul of the operation, supplying our social media guy with photos from the past few days. In other words, not only does she work her tail off—zipping back and forth in her company vehicle—but she also keeps a sharp eye out so you can see exactly what’s happening at the riding arena in Glaubitz.
Meanwhile, quite a bit is already taking shape on the festival grounds: the stage at the forest pool is finished, additional canopies have been set up, the forklift is making its rounds tirelessly, and the campsite has been measured and laid out—though, uh, I have no idea what that digging is all about.

It’s up: The bar „Zur trocknen Kehle“!
Take a look at what we accomplished yesterday. It was pretty exhausting work. First, assembling the tent and pulling the tarp over it—that takes some muscle. Laying the flooring afterwards does, too, of course. But honestly? There’s something special about sitting back and feeling satisfied as the sun goes down.
By the way, a big thanks to "Graskiller" Daniel Röhrig, who went back and forth trimming everything to the perfect English lawn height.

Let's get started with the setup.
Tomorrow, too. For today, we’ve just arrived, looked around, petted some horses, test-run the forest pool, and cleaned our sunglasses. And what can we say? It’s all working out beautifully.
You wouldn't believe how much we’re looking forward to next Thursday evening. That’s when the punks take over the place for a few days, and everything looks completely different. Sure, setting up and tearing down all that gear is quite a job—but to spend three days at Back To Future with you all, we’re more than happy to do it!
For heaven’s sake, don’t forget the sunscreen!

Yes, yes, yes, finally: the running order!
As you can see, it’s worth standing in front of one of the stages from the very first second to the last. Okay, you’re allowed to take a quick break now and then to use the loo, grab a bite to eat, or get your cup refilled. But otherwise, there’s no excuse for missing even a single band!
We traditionally kick things off on Thursday with a shorter program held exclusively in the tent. This gives you plenty of time to arrive and settle into your punk-rock wellness retreat. Anyone who can read the schedule knows what kind of spectacle awaits on stage afterward.
On Friday morning, Simmi’s Riot Yoga will get you in shape for the two long days ahead! Start your day with beer yoga, and you’ll breeze right through it. Before we head over to the main festival grounds at 4:00 PM, three bands will play at the Waldbad—plus, there’s a reading on the agenda.
And hey, what would Back To Future be without P.I.Y. Karaoke to kick off Saturday!? Exactly—it wouldn't be the full BTF experience. Give it your all! Sing, scream, and belt it out to your heart's content. What happens at the Waldbad stays at the Waldbad. At 4:00 PM, we’ll move back to the festival grounds and really kick things into high gear.
