THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!
Geilo, after we were just as happy about the two newcomers for 2021 as you were, the flyer was rightly fumbled so that you could see the awesome line up again in its entirety and go crazy with the sheer anticipation!

TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET!
Certainly TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET belong to the bands with the best album covers ever.
That can also be said of their music. Again and again they manage to stick up ear canals for a long time with fantastic bubblegum punk rock. Cool, they want to do that with us next year too!

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS
"Off with their heads" shouted the Queen of Hearts at Alice in Wonderland and a shambles ensued.
When OFF WITH THEIR HEADS are on stage with us in 2021, it will be straightforward and punchy punk rock with a certain melancholy and statement. We're already looking forward to it!

Solidarity
In a historic year 2020, in which almost nothing is going as we are used to, it is an incredible relief to be able to announce something positive. In our case it is the extremely successful end of our solos.
Thanks to our carefully selected bonuses and your incredible financial support, we are able to provide sustainable Corona support: Yesterday, the majority of the solitary money went to our stage and sound technician. Friedemann`s family has grown by the third child at this year's BTF festival date. And all of this without any income. On the contrary: all of its costs continue to run. State audit firms continue to charge huge amounts for their annual reports, even though the stages have never been set up. Furthermore, he tries to adapt his sound technology to growing demands.
You put us in the position to send a clearly encouraged sign as the proverbial 'drop in the ocean'. Thank you!
After a brief moment of reflection, the order placement of the ordered gimmicks will begin in the next few days. As soon as we have all the merchandise, shipping begins. We therefore ask you to be patient until the end of September.
Last but not least, another really good news: In addition to your commitment to our solos, the normal advance ticket sales are also ongoing. So you know how to make us happy. That really lets us look optimistically into the future and motivates us for the coming weeks, in which a lot of art and culture will continue to run unfamiliar or under new conditions. We hope this surge will continue for a while.

Project update
We are very happy to announce that our supporter campaign has also passed the second donation hurdle.
We have a great concert in mind, which we organize in cooperation with the youth center in Rosswein and whose income (entrance fee including excess beverage sales) goes completely into the upkeep of the house. Ideally, we will succeed in significantly increasing the donation. It would be impossible without your support. Muchas Gracias.
In case someone has already noticed that the nudist season is slowly coming to an end and that stylish swimming trunks will be necessary for the coming months or that the sun is particularly blinding and the hottest accessory in BTF history (Sun Glasses, beautiful Sun Glasses) has not found its way into the home, should use the last few days for "shopping". The fundraising campaign will run up to and including August 31, 2020 with the following thank you items: girlie shirts, t-shirts, special tickets, swimming trunks, sunglasses and festival DVDs. So you cut a very good figure with every birthday child.

Project update
What an incredible number! The original funding goal was achieved within a few hours! Since we are now above our planned target, we would like to introduce you to another project worth supporting in connection with the Back To Future Festival and have therefore increased the funding amount again.
Many of you know the Jugendhaus Roßwein personally, at least some from the concert dates of many bands. We ourselves have been able to organize a number of great concerts on the Juha site. Much more, we ourselves were visitors to the current and previous location in the Saxon province for countless years. In the rooms of this house we were allowed to celebrate some BTF crew parties as well as birthdays extensively.
For about 15 years, a lot of club members and Juha visitors have been supporting us actively and logistically in all BTF festival activities.
After years of cost-intensive fire protection renovation of the house, constant concerts should finally start again, but then the corona-related ban on events came. It should be mentioned in this regard that the association is dependent on the income from these in order to cover operating costs. The club with location is in financial difficulties and urgently needs support. We are happy to be sponsors and supporters with your help. Take advantage of our soli “thank you” merch or give voluntary support. Let us achieve the new funding goal in favor of our BTF partner Jugendhaus Roßwein.

FLYER 2021
Unbelievable! With our first Flyer in 2021, we are at least six months earlier than all the years before. But no wonder, because a majority of the bands that couldn't come this year don't want to miss a gig with us and you and have already confirmed for next year. Awesome thing that.

AKNE KID JOE
The BTF 2020 is over, so to speak, and we are already taking care of 2021. In addition to the fact that a large part of this year's unusual line-up has confirmed to us again, there are also fantastic newcomers.
One of them are the paid ones and non-terminable Antifa works council members AKNE KID JOE , who eat their next Pizza Napoletana with us - of course, baked crispy on the Weber grill that you brought with you. That’s going to be delicious!

TRAILER 2021
Damn ax, the annual punk rock wellness weekend is over and what's in it now? No terrible hangover, still money in my wallet, no abnormal sunburn, the tent is still intact, the sunglasses and the last shirt are still there. Nobody can really want that!
One exposure is enough, in 2021 we will tear each other off the fence. Promised!

OUR SOLI-ACTION
So, actually the stages, our marquee, the fences would have been in place, we would have mowed the campsite, got the first sunburn and more and more helpers joined the rapidly growing crew to be prepared for your arrival and, as always, with you to spend a brilliant weekend.
But this year, as is well known, everything is different. We don't need toilets, fences, or a campsite. And the worst is not when the beer is gone, but when there is nothing to be seen of a band for whom you go to this little town. No live music, none of the familiar faces nearby, the forest pool yawning empty, a depressed lifeguard.
With the understanding that an unknown situation requires unusual measures, it still hurts for so long to have personal contact with so many loved ones and it may take another year for one or the other. before we are in each other's arms again. A damn shitty situation.
Since the Back To Future is largely organized on a voluntary basis, the failure to take place doesn’t affect us as seriously as a club that cannot hold events, a tour booker who does not know when to safely let bands roam the world again, light and Sound engineer, technology or tour bus rental company. Yes, we are in a DIY context. Nevertheless, we are now falling back on an infrastructure without which the Back To Future would be a completely different event. And it is precisely these structures that are suffering the most at the moment. Please help us to give these structures a little support. Because it will be very difficult months for these people in particular.
We have decided to tackle one point and we would be incredibly happy if you would support us. We would like to specifically support our sound engineer. We are now looking back on a good 20 years together. From the small club show to the very respectable open air, we could always rely on him. These days his family continues to grow. Child number 3 is approaching.
That's why we're launching a small solo campaign with which you can support our ideas. In return for a donation, you can get sunglasses, festival DVD, T-shirt, shorts, soli-ticket or a ticket for life (thank you very much for the colleagues from Rock am Kuhteich for this great idea).
