THE DROWNS (US)
In case you run out of board games on New Year's Eve, just play “Who am I?” in the punk band version (you know, that game where you get a piece of paper stuck to your forehead and have to figure out who you are). Target questions if you are Aaron-Rev Peters from THE DROWNS: “Do I like full-throttle rock n’ roll with a dash of street punk?” - “Do I also like the pub rock sound of COCK SPARRER or EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS?” - “Am I playing in a band that everyone seems to like?” or “Do I come across as likeable?”. Yes, then you win! Hurray, THE DROWNS at BACK TO FUTURE 2025!

COLLAPS (GER)
A perfect symbiosis of rumble, clatter and melody: Clear the way for COLLAPS from the Ruhr area! Beer, boots and sleeveless band shirts from NEGATIVE APPROACH or BONECRUSHER. The trio recently caused a stir in America. As Ultra Violence is the sound, so likeable are the musicians: Bassist Schnabel has been bringing us hot American bands for years through his agency CITYRAT, drummer Tim may be known from URBAN VOID or COMPLETE LOSS and singer Valle is probably Germany's busiest and most beautiful Oi at the moment !-Musician. Tip: Be sure to enjoy it with a beer in your hand!

STAUFFENBERG (GER)
A band name like a kick in the ass, song titles like “Patronengurt”, “Sabotage” and “Anarchismus”, the person singing goes by the name “Fahrrad” - German punk from the cellars of Stauffenbergallee in Dresden. Wild, young, untamed, loud and provocative We're excited to see what awaits us live and are already looking forward to STAUFFENBERG's Back To Future debut!

MARCH (NLD)
The whole band is a hurricane - MARCH from the Netherlands for the very first time at Back To Future! Full throttle rock 'n' roll, seasoned with a good edge of melody, furious and impressive live presence! What reads here like an advertising flyer from a faceless record company is actually exactly what stuck with us when we took a look at the band in the spring of this year. We want them! And it worked! Look forward to the wildest ride you can get at the riding arena in Glaubitz!

CH3 (US)
Attention, classic alert! Somewhere else in the band announcements recently there was some talk about “History Lessons at Back To Future”. Since you won't really learn much in a history lesson anyway, we're going to give you CHANNEL 3 today! L.A. Punk Rock Essentials! Active since the early 80s (with small interruptions), one of the flagships of the Californian punk rock scene, which we all know we've always had a big soft spot for. CHANNEL 3 - for those in the know, also CH3 - 2025 in Glaubitz!

LOUSY (GER)
“Someday something will come of them...” - I can still hear the person I'm talking to mumbling. In 2017 it was in Glaubitz, the girls from MAID OF ACE had a furious set and the band has now even made it to London's Wembley Stadium. Like BON JOVI, TOTTENHAM HOTSPURS, OASIS or BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. Career boost through Back To Future! Well, we don't want to be so presumptuous, but the band definitely deserves to grow further. We are looking forward to one of the hottest bands from England, MAID OF ACE!

We are looking forward to one of the hottest bands from England, MAID OF ACE!

NOWITSCHOK (GER)
If you believe the "top lists" published towards the end of the year, preferably on social media, which are supposed to crown the scene's "album of the year", then "Niederige Beweggründe", the debut by NOWITSCHOK, seems to have struck a chord with the meat-hat faction. The fact that in the Black Forest, in addition to cuckoo clocks and cherry cakes, really good Oi! bands apparently grow on trees is something that connoisseurs have known for a long time now, even since BRUTAL BRAVO came around the corner a while ago. We're looking forward to long, neatly sewn jeans, suspenders, 10-hole boots in the summer and bad tattoos: NOWITSCHOK are stepping up!

VODKA JUNIORS (GR)
No stars in Athens, instead...no, not schnapps, but vodka from the VODKA JUNIORS! The band from the Greek capital is our next confirmation for the coming summer. The album titles in the - over 20-year-old - discography, for example “Suburbancore”, “Darkpoetry” or “Warrior Anthems”, set the direction wildly. Because the next run-of-the-mill melodycore band is not coming around the corner here, the mix of styles the VODKA JUNIORS is as diverse as it is original: punk meets hardcore, reggae meets synthesizer sound, even rock sounds terrible, right? first time at Back To Future, VODKA JUNIORS!

HAMMERHEAD (GER)
“IN SUMMER ON THE ASS OF THE WORLD” - Yes, HAMMERHEAD are returning to this very ass of the world called Glaubitz! The new LP “NACHDENKEN OVER DEUTSCHLAND” was played up and down here and it was clear to us: we’ll try to get it again! The first time at the start in 1996 (at the quasi-legendary “Großenhain” Open Air), everything cleared away in 2022, now finally back with us with the Ox Fanzine cover story: The blatant pigs from the West! Chaos days, I drink alone, throw garbage cans, everyone dies... HAMMERHEAD takes care of it!
