FLYER FOR THE BACK TO FUTURE 2025!
...and there it is finally, our (almost) finished announcement graphic for the BACK TO FUTURE 2025! Of course we still have one or two surprises up our sleeves, for example up there on the left, we have taped a headliner band that we will announce in a few weeks. There will also be something happening in the middle positions, don't worry! We hope that the program has met your taste again and we are already looking forward to a huge party in the summer! Feel free to distribute the first BTF25 flyer online.
At the moment, however, the party atmosphere is deep in the basement. The unfortunately expected election results from last Sunday in our region are causing us more than just concern. Nobody knows how long subculture will be possible in rural areas. The future will tell, even if the clouds on the horizon are gloomy.
Some of you may have noticed when looking at the flyer, unfortunately MAID OF ACE had to cancel their show with us. We are working on an adequate replacement!
We had around 300 band applications for this year, which was total madness for such a small forest and meadow festival in the “ass of the world”, thank you for that! Unfortunately, we were unable to respond to all inquiries via personal email. Please forgive us - it was just too much in bulk, in addition to the entire BTF planning, we all still have regular jobs, families and lots of other obligations.
In order to have planning security, we ask you: Use the advance booking. Even if no one can hear the phrases anymore: advance sales ensure the continued existence of your favorite festival. Isso. Let's go!

P.I.Y. - PUNK-IT-YOURSELF- PUNKROCK-KARAOKE (GER)
“You wanted the best, you got the best!” - Yes, exactly, the old saying from KISS, it really applies to our darlings from the P.I.Y. PUNK ROCK KARAOKE too! You want the boys and of course you get them! After the escalation last year, we were still lashed in our swimming trunks with a handshake for 2025! There's not much to imagine anymore; While you get busy on the microphone, the band euphorically plays through the songs from COCK SPARRER to TERRORGRUPPE, from SLIME to DISTILLERS. For many a secret headliner! The same applies again: Friday lunchtime, forest bath - one or two encouraging beers and then: PUNKROCK KARAOKE!

EAST END CHAOS (GER)
Clear the ring for the BTF debut of EAST END CHAOS! The moment these lines are hammered into a Word document, the East Saxons are preparing to play their heroes LOIKAEMIE against the wall. Tonight, Chemo Dresden, just as a reminder! The reference and the band name suggest it: Somewhere between REJECTS and LOIKAEMIE, EAST END CHAOS are undoubtedly one of the best German-speaking street punk combos, authentic, bright and with smart lyrics. We also have experienced singing and drinking regulars at our festival - we're looking forward to Roman, Israr, Nico and Stefan!

MAD SIN (GER)
With MAD SIN, old friends finally return to the BACK TO FUTURE! Without a doubt one of the most brilliant live bands of the last decades! The Berliners combine full-throttle rock'n'roll, psychobilly and punk in their very own style, anyone who doesn't fidget at least a little is probably already dead. MAD SIN is always a spectacle and you can actually feel sorry for the band that has to go on stage in the running order after Köfte and co. After 12 long years back at the riding arena, welcome to MAD SIN!

THE OBSERVERS (US)
And whoever says RED DONS also has to say THE OBSERVERS! Damn axe, Jesus Mary and Joseph, all the gods in the world, THE OBSERVERS on Back To Future - 20 years after the band actually broke up and only appeared on stage again sporadically (2017 and 2024). We're talking about nothing less than a small sensation and we're delighted that we've managed to lure this fantastic band to the Saxon pampas! See you in front of the stage and listen to the incredibly awesome LP “So What’s Left Now” for the rest of the week starting today!

RED DONS (US)
From Portland to Glaubitz in one 45 minute set! Yes, RED DONS at Back To Future 2025, File Under: Not your average Rumpel Festival Band on Schrammelpunk Records. A little melancholy, not too few dark post-punk vibes and a lot of melody, RED DONS create a very unique atmosphere that is hard to escape. Portland just has it, WIPERS, POISON IDEA, OBSERVERS, DEFIANCE, there's something in the groundwater...
We're happy to be able to present you a very extraordinary group - welcome RED DONS!

FAMILY-CAMP-REGISTRATION NOW!
IF THE FUTURE KIDZ ARE UNITED! ... based on the smash hit “If The Kids Are United” by SHAM 69! Early musical and socio-political education remains a great need for us. In the last few weeks we have received a number of emails with questions; where, how and when you can register for the family camp. The BTF family camp now seems to be an absolute hit. We will adapt the size of the area and the program design to the registrations and hope not to have to cancel anyone.
The registration form is now updated again and you can register using it. Note: However, you will not receive an automatic reply email.
You will then find all the important information about family camping and the button to register (scroll down).
›HERE!
So get started with your registration in good time so that we can get a quick feel for how we need to plan.

THE MARKED MEN (US)
Have THE MARKED MEN ever been to Saxony? At best, very secretly as tourists, look at the Rakotz Bridge, the Semper Opera or the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, but on a local concert stage?
In the past, the crew of "The Flying Revolverblatt" (R.I.P.) would have arranged for a performance in a sweaty club, but now we're doing it ourselves. One of the best pop punk / garage bands ever! After the SPITS and BRIEFS last year, the next tick on our bucket list! File Under BUZZCOCKS, RAMONES, DICKIES!

KLABUSTERBÄREN (GER)
Halle's export hit, right behind the Halloren Kugeln, are definitely the KLABUSTERBÄREN!
Founded in 1994 at a squatter party, the Halle band has been playing German-language punk with influences from wave, NDW, reggae and pop melodies ever since. Over 30 years later they are on a BTF stage for the first time! An example for all the bands applying - you also need perseverance and should have already been a visitor to our festival.
With them in Glaubitz they have their eighth and most current album “Who wants it quiet should move to the country”. In our opinion, a musical milestone in their discography.
