ANOTHER PRIME ROCK - DIE SKEPTIKER
Another veteran from ancient times. In other words, it was a gray past because DIE SKEPTIKER was founded in East Berlin in the eighties when the fall of the Berlin Wall was not yet to be expected.
It's been 30 years since the reunification in 2020, we are excited to see what exceptional singer Eugen Balanskat has to say about it.

UK SUBS - HAPPY NEW YEAR
Yes, luckily it worked out that UK SUBS can make up for their 2019 appearance, that was also very important to us personally! We are at least as happy about it as you are. With the 76-year-old singer Charlie Harper, the lived punk rock history, from the beginning until today, is on our stage. A great story to welcome a punk rock pioneer to BTF 2020.

LOS FASTIDIOS - ANTIFA HOOLIGANS
They are one of the most active European skinhead bands since the nineties. No other band with a short haircut has been on the road as often for many years as the band from Verona. It's also amazing that they still manage to sound fresh, like they did in their first decade.
It's great that the clear anti-fascists LOS FASTIDIOS are coming to visit us again.

DON'T MESS WITH THE HARD PUNX
“Don't Mess With The Hard Punx” was a borderline ingenious punk album at the time, with an extremely high hit density that had everything. Outstanding melodies and fantastic songwriting and snappy grumbling with a good dose of winking. Accordingly, we are pleased to be able to confirm DISTRICT for 2020. This will be sugar-sweet punk rock in the very first cabin!

'77S EXTRA CLASS CONFETTIC CANNON - JOHNNY WOLGA!
Johnny Wolga are a welcome guest on our premises. Because even if the troupe is not on stage, individual band members are still there as guests. Since it's been a while back on stage, we'll just change that. In addition, it is time to let us introduce their gold hits live and in color. A '77 confetti cannon in a class of its own.

GIRLS TO THE FRONT - THE BABOON SHOW!
Oh dear God, praise the Lord!
He has a very special gift for us, namely one of two festival appearances by THE BABOON SHOW in 2020. If that's no reason to set the Christmas tree on fire to light a bonfire!?
Be that as it may, the mixed doubles from Sweden will demand everything from us and we look forward, like others, to the resurrection of the Savior.
Girls To The Front - Amen!

RAN ON THE CANE - THE SHOCKS!
Take a deep breath, don't freak out, we've already done that for you. Right, THE SHOCKS tasted enough blood at the rehearsals at the beginning of December and come to us.
Ojemine, it will be a venerable celebration. This Berlin punk rock trio, their sound, lyrics and attitude are still unmatched. Yes, damn it, there is no denying it, with pee in our eyes we long for mid-July 2020. Put on the cane!

DEBUT OF THE CATALANS - LA INQUISICIÓN
The fact that Catalans have a mind of their own has not only been known since the independence referendum in 2017, but these aspirations go back well into the 19th century. We will find out to what extent LA INQUISICIÓN agrees with this idea during the following BTF check in the spring. What we can already tell you is that this is going to be a punk rock bombshell of idiosyncratic sound and stage performance. This debut is sure to pack a punch.

LONDON'S DIY PURISTS - WONK UNIT!
Did someone here make a joke? Could have been WONK UNIT. If you don't know the London DIY purists, you have to see them because they are simply unique. Perfectly staged nonsense, purest punk rock or brilliant mishmash from one of the most independent bands currently on the road. It's great that they're back.

PRIDE AND PASSION - RED LONDON!
Pride and Passion hits the nail on the head when it talks about the English Red London. Powerful yet highly melodic mid-tempo skinhead sound that pushes forward well and always invites you to dance thanks to its soul and reggae interludes. Just a fantastic old school skinhead crew.
