BAD NERVES (UK)
It's Coming Home... das hat bekanntlich nicht ganz gereicht bei der Europameisterschaft für England. Hingegen dürfte es kaum Zweifel geben, dass von der Insel immer wieder Bands kommen, die so außergewöhnlich gut sind, dass dem Hörer einfach die Spucke wegbleibt. Mit THE MEFFS, CHUBBY & THE GANG, den CYNIDE PILLS oder den BAD NERVES haben wir euch auch dieses Jahr vier Kleeblätter gepflückt. Und gerade letztere gehen momentan richtig durch die Decke. Das "uneheliche Kind aus RAMONES und STROKES" (Selbstbezeichnung), kein geringerer als Billie Joe Armstrong von GREEN DAY als Edelfan, eine gerade absolvierte US-Tour mit THE HIVES... es kann gut sein, dass dies hier der allerletzte Aufruf an euch ist, diese Band noch unter "Geheimtipp" verbuchen zu dürfen: "Ich war dabei, damals, BAD NERVES beim BACK TO FUTURE 2024, als die noch nicht so groß waren!"
Wann? - Samstag, 20.40 Uhr
Wo? - Hauptbühne

PIY PUNK ROCK KARAOKE are back!
Date: Friday, July 26th - from 11 a.m. - shortly after washing the cat, so to speak. Where? - in the forest bath! The helmet will be painted properly again! So you could become the person who will be talked about in awe and admiration for the entire weekend from your "Moment Of Fame" onwards! Pats on the back at every beer stand ("You sang SLIME well!", "You really look like GG Allin!"), skyrocketing follower numbers ("... hey, you sounded like Otze!") and appreciative looks everywhere.
It's very simple: select and perform a song, grab your reward liquor and enjoy the fame! From DOWNWARDS to AGNOSTIC FRONT, from MOTÖRHEAD to BABOON SHOW, RANCID or WIZO! Here is the song selection for practicing!
After a self-imposed break, the punk rock jukebox is finally sparkling again! The band themselves describe the process like this:
"... you choose your favorite song on our flyer with the song list, then you come to the stage and tell us what you want to sing or write the song name and your name on a piece of paper and throw it into our song jar. Then as soon as it's your turn you come on stage, get the lyrics and we play and sing the song together! As a reward or as a little encouragement in advance, a pepper is placed down your throat as needed."

BEER YOGA - Drinking with Yoga
Bier-Cobra und Bier-Stuhl? Was für manche erstmal ziemlich strange klingt, ist quasi ein echter Geheimtipp auf dem Back To Future! Denn hier gilt eigentlich "Punkrock meets Wellness" - wieso also nicht schon früh "Saufen mit Yoga"?
Aufgrund unzähliger Nachfragen von fanatischen Bier-Yoga Fans gibt es dieses Jahr gleich an zwei Tagen eine Warm Up-Session fürs Festival: Das heißt am Freitag und am Samstag, jeweils um 10:00 Uhr, leitet euch unsere Punkrock-Yogalehrerin Simmi von »RIOTYOGA Leipzig durch eine feucht-fröhliche Bier-Yoga-Sitzung im Waldbad. Es ist einfach der perfekte Start in so einen langen Festivaltag! Erscheint bitte pünktlich mit eurem Handtuch oder Stranddeckchen an der Waldbadbühne!
Du trinkst kein Bier? Kein Problem, du kannst auch mit jedem anderen (auch alkoholfreiem) Getränk mitmachen! Also Prost und Namaste!

DUMMY TOYS (CHN)
DUMMY TOYS from China left open mouths and happy faces during their 2023 performance on our tent stage. We also thought the band was super cool, you celebrated the girls and obviously the band really liked that. At least so much so that the band wanted to stop by “as guests” before the actual start of their European tour this year. No way! We have created a last-minute slot for DUMMY TOYS! On the festival Thursday it's time for your ears!
Also important: Advance sales of hard tickets via our ticket form continue until Wednesday, July 17th. From then on there will only be online tickets available at TIXFORGIGS via our website. Also more about CORETEX BERLIN, CONTRA RECORDS, ANGRY VOICE, GOTHIC SECOND HAND LEIPZIG, SAXTICKET DRESDEN and SELECTORZ GRÖSSENHAIN.

Winning a BTF festival ticket at the last second - what a dream!
One week before "Glaubitz" there will be one of two BTF warm-up parties.
The incredibly delicious CYANIDE PILLS will be warming up for Back To Future at the Alte Schule in Halle. DJ SUBHUMAN-TRASH will also have a few hard tickets left on site, just talk to him. Come and see us there, a superb supporting program is also planned.

PISSE have the shit on their hands
Boomer humor at its best, but unfortunately with a serious background:
In the band's rehearsal room, which our favorite Ronnys share with several Berlin bands (including the Back To Future-tested EASTIE ROIS), there was a break-in in mid-May, equipment was stolen and the whole place was devastated - damage amounting to €15,000.00. "If you rehearse, you can't do anything" sounds quite funny as a musician's saying, of course, but we are happy to share the band community's call: So if you have a few euros to spare, the PISSE boys will thank you at one of their rare performances in July!

Pack your swimming trunks, we’re going to the forest pool!
You shouldn't forget your bathing equipment, because like any other year, the neighboring forest pool offers all kinds of wellness:
It opens Friday and Saturday at 10 a.m., bands will play, you can take part in a yoga session, there are also fries and of course plenty of cooling off!

Final spurt
Only 30 days until the BACK TO FUTURE Festival 2024! 30 days sounds like a lot, we actually wanted to start today with our internally planned "30 days to a beach body" challenge, but we are slowly entering the hot phase of preparation. Maybe you can give us a little support? Since we don't quite have Check24's advertising budget, we still need old-school support:
Please share the flyer on your pages, make Tik-Tok videos in front of our posters and invite your friends. There are a few nice concerts and festivals taking place in the next few weeks, if you want to hand out flyers and posters for us there, please contact us by email - we still have a few packages lying around. Thank you!
