TRASHFEST AT KOMBI NUNCHRITZ
We're interrupting the BTF band announcements for today for an important announcement. We would like to show you the EAST TRASH FEST #12 in the KOMBI NÜNCHRITZ for the next Saturday, November 25th. to heart.
A few kilometers from the Glaubitzer Reitplatz the trash party starts at 5 p.m. with lots of hot bands. Just go there, just go to the flat countryside to the only subcultural club in the region!

THE CASUALTIES (US)
BTF consensus band or what? But they are also always welcome regular guests. THE CASUALTIES, one of your most requested favorite bands...! Especially since they love our festival - it's certainly up to you. So how could we otherwise but fulfill this wish (besides play, excitement and...)? Pogo you fuckers! We really don't have to introduce the Nietenkaiser to anyone anymore, do we?

BERLIN BLACKOUTS (GER)
CYANIDE PILLS, THE MEFFS, LOWER CLASS BRATS and now the BERLIN BLACKOUTS - we just continue in the “It fits like a glove” league! For almost 10 years, the band has been delighting fans with their relaxed mix of SOCIAL DISTORTION, BACKYARD BABIES and THE CLASH - all flavors that should suit us and hopefully you too. We're also saving the beer tickets for drummer Chris, because we already have him sitting backstage with KOTZREIZ. BERLIN BLACKOUTS and the BACK TO FUTURE, that really fits like a glove, Tom and Jerry...

KOTZREIZ
“Punk remains punk”, that much is clear. The name KOTZREIZ shows the way: Take a sampler from the quality brand “Schlachtrufe BRD”, open a few beer cans, turn the amplifier to 12 and the moon face is ready. We already let the Berlin street dogs loose on you in 2016 - and so the time is ripe for a game of KOTZREIZ at Back To Future! Whether “unbearable when sober” - Yes - No - Maybe? Give it a try, Friday won't be a bad day, because KOTZREIZ play German punk, drinking punk, political punk! (this is a tiny and only running order spoiler!)

CYANIDE PILLS (UK)
Neo-'77 punk, bubblegum and sunglasses - just throw the TOY DOLLS, the PISTOLS, the RAMONES and the BRIEFS into the Thermomix and see what comes out. Maybe something like the CYANIDE PILLS: chaotic, aggressive, hectic and absolutely suitable for pogos. Aaaaaand also melodic. And kind of funny. Sounds like the ideal Back To Future house band? Voila, we managed to get the band from Leeds to Glaubitz again after 2018, the anticipation is not small.

TURBOSTAAT (GER)
TURBOSTAAT are finally coming to Back To Future, people! They are the can opener for your punk rock soul. Since '99 they have been thundering through the music landscape with their mix of punk and rock, anger and melancholy. Your texts? Damn smart, political and profound. Your sound? A powerful punch in the pit of the stomach. They're not just any band, they're the exclamation mark in the German-speaking punk rock scene! Rebellion wrapped in melodies, social criticism with a grin. They have fun, they make noise and they have influenced us all. TURBOSTAAT - more than just music, a damn lifestyle.

THE SELECTER (UK)
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, MADNESS, SPECIALS and, well who? The Selector! One of the absolute 2-Tone Ska flagships, active since - damn it - 1979(!), so if anyone here deserves the title “legend”, it is the British band with the unique Pauline Black on vocals . Hand-stopped 16 albums, countless cross-generational catchy tunes, several UK Top 10 hits and a unique aura - THE SELECTER are something very special and we are looking forward to a very special evening with one of the best and biggest bands in the genre!
16 Nov 23
LOWER CLASS BRATS (US)
The Clockwork Punk Legion LOWER CLASS BRATS has been on our list for ages. Active since the 90s, back then one of the spearheads of the new authentic American street punk, apart from chart-toppers like GREEN DAY or OFFSPRING, more of a pioneer for FORGOTTEN, UNSEEN or BONECRUSHER.
Founded in Austin, now moved to California and on the road with great new material, it's not just the past that's celebrated here. Punk, Oi!, a dash of glam - Real Punk is an endangered species!

KNOCHENFABRIK (GER)
Do you remember the legendary last BTF show from KNOCHENFABRIK in 2018? It was super awesome, right? Well then - we have great news! After 6 years, Knofa are finally coming back to Punkerhausen, erm Glaubitz!
No real punk party can do without their legendary hits like “Filmriss” or “Green Hair” etc. Open a few beers, oil your vocal cords and get ready to shout along: “We didn't plan to ever be born and yet somehow it happened. When we finally recognized ourselves and thought everything was pretty shit, we understood the most important thing..."

THE MEFFS (UK)
Apparently Frank Turner and Fat Mike are the band's biggest fans, but that can't actually be true. The band's biggest fans are undoubtedly the Back To Future booking team. However, it is very true that Frank Turner produced the Essex punk rock duo's first record. Lily and Lewis Meff gallop through British music history and collect the honey dust from CRASS, the SLEAFORD MODS, THE STREETS and THE CLASH. For music lovers it will be one of the highlights at BTF 2024, we promise! Energetic, loud, political - and after their BTF show you'll probably also be the band's biggest fans.
