NEWS & UPDATES
00 DAYS TO GO (00:00:00)
UPDATE
The short break is over, and we're turning the volume up to maximum again. So here's the next update on this year's BACK TO FUTURE!
We've been busy reshuffling the lineup to bring you some names you might not see everywhere.
More detailed band announcements will follow in the coming weeks, but we're especially excited to announce two acts: PANSY DIVISION and the DEAD PIONEERS!
PANSY DIVISION, the legendary queercore icons from America—active since 1991—have always been at the top of our internal wish list, just as we've been working hard to secure the political punks DEAD PIONEERS for some time now. Two acts whose attitude and message are more important than ever these days.
Plus, the band of the moment: BUTTERWEGGE, currently and quite deservedly featured prominently on the cover of Ox-Fanzine. Also on the bill: the all-girl riot punks DUMMY TOYS from China, MARCH - female-fronted punk from the Netherlands, NOWITSCHOK, in our opinion the most toxic Oi! band around right now, GUM BLEED (also from China), and our all-time Back To Future favorites GIUDA from Rome.
Does the cocktail sound good to you? Should we add anything else? We're still in negotiations with a few bands, so there will be more news in the coming days and weeks!

GLAUBITZ CALLING!
BACK TO FUTURE, back from its year-long slumber, back in the same place, back in the middle of summer!
Here's the first band and presale info. Of course, we'll be introducing each act individually in the coming days, as usual. We'll once again be putting together an appealing and diverse lineup – with new and old favorites, a few surprises, but above all, bands that fit our festival.
We're also making BTF a bit smaller again, and therefore a bit more intimate, based on your feedback from the past few months. This also means that we'll be limiting the number of tickets, so grab yours quickly!
You can get a weekend ticket in advance for just €79.00 as an e-ticket, or as a stylish hard ticket for your bulletin board or fridge. Anyone who would like to support us further can order a BTF Supporter Ticket as a hard ticket for the regular BTF price of €99.00 (including a €20.00 donation).
We can't wait and are really looking forward to seeing you!

Back To Future 2026 – we're back!
Yes, it took some time – but there were good reasons for that. The originally planned new concept for our beloved festival unfortunately couldn't be implemented. So we kept refining it: endless meetings, a thousand coordination changes, five reschedulings, and overcoming the usual bureaucratic hurdles. But we did it!
The result is impressive: From July 16th to 18th, 2026, we'll be celebrating again at the Reitplatz – smaller, more intimate, more direct. So you can already submit your wellness vacation voucher.
We'll meet again where it all began – with new energy, but with what always remains: a relaxed atmosphere, cold drinks, and honest punk rock. Just as it should be!
The first band announcements and information about the start of presales will follow in the coming days.

RUNNING ORDER
Back to Future was supposed to start next week in Glaubitz, and the current status is known... As a small "compensation," there are a few brilliant bands from the original BTF lineup at the Chemiefabrik Dresden, and today they announced the running order for all three days. We think this will be a worthy replacement event on a smaller scale. The outdoor area of the Chemiefabrik is also being included in the plans as a beer garden; it's going to be beautiful, we're really looking forward to it. Here's what it looks like:
