EARLY-BIRD-FINAL SPRINT!
Bands, bands, bands - Only 5 days early bird ticket left - The party V is calling
Same procedure as every year! The year is drawing to a close and our BTF line-up is growing and thriving. It's time again to present you a few more bands and again to the one on December 31st. to indicate the end of the early bird ticket campaign. The reduced advance booking for € 39.00 runs until New Year's Eve! Final sprint! Tickets instead of firecrackers!
BTF newcomers, as if there were:
The self-proclaimed King Of Punks, the SXE objectors from Portland, the unbelievable POISON IDEA around Jerry A. About "Darby Crash rides again", "Record Collectors are pretentious Assholes" or "Plastic Bomb" will surely come to mind. Rough edge! In 2007 they were supposed to be playing at the BTF, but as is well known, an unbelievable amount of water got in the way.
Let's stay overseas for a moment. Musically, however, a completely different construction site: THE INCITERS. Last year LEO & THE LINE UP were the surprise at our festival. This year we can present you THE Northern Soul Band par excellence. The eleven-piece "orchestra" from Santa Cruz brings us the best Motown sound. Complete brass section, 3 front women, suits, dresses and and and. The band was on hold for a few years, now they are back with their brilliant songs and a brilliant live show. Insider tip? Not at all!
We take the leap back into the region with THE HOWLING WOLFMEN. After shows in Mexico, Russia and the States, it's time again for a fat broadside Rock'n'Roll from Dresden. The creepers cleaned, the great ones lubricated and off you go.
Back in Germany we finally managed to put THE FAT POLICEMAN on the BTF stage. The band has been on our to do list for years. It is precisely because one is ashamed of one's mother tongue these days that bands like DDP are incredibly important. Platt works differently. Punk rock, German lyrics with meaning and understanding. We need more of it.
We had a similarly long birth with the Dutch JAYA THE CAT. How flashed we were when we experienced the very own but eerily traveling reggae infected klick ... punk rock live for the first time. According to Glaubitz, it was immediately clear and we keep our fingers crossed that it will finally work in the coming year. The Clash or Ruts say hello.
Last but not least: WARSONG from Zaragoza. The finest punk rock with a bit of 80s hardcore punk, a bit of snotty punk and great melodies. Our insider tip!
THIS MONTH EARLY-BIRDS!
Date 01.12. - for us every year that means advertising the early bird ticket for the BACK TO FUTURE of the following year.
Since we don't want to offer you "a pig in a poke" for sale, there is also the first line up update that sets the direction for 2015. Varied as always, with well-known musicians, old classics but also new stars from our music scene. We say cocky, but that wasn't all.

BTF 2014 REVIEW
The riding arena has been cleaned up and we've been sleeping in our own beds again since yesterday.
WOW, what sensational days those were once again with you in Glaubitz!!! We are overwhelmed by the exclusively positive feedback during and after the event. There were a few suggestions for improvement that have already been noted. You are the people who fill the BTF with life and give us the kick to keep going!!!
We largely owe the fact that the BTF ran so smoothly, relaxed and fun to the world's best crew. We simply cannot emphasize this enough. Our girls and boys looked after you in a good mood under difficult climatic conditions and an extreme lack of sleep. RESPECT!!!
Another big thank you goes to:
all bands, especially El Fisch for the additional program in the Waldbad
Friedemann and his professional technical crew
our electrician who somehow makes everything possible
- the Glaubitz municipal administration
- the SV unit Glaubitz for the use of the athletes' home
- the relaxed Glaubitz lifeguard and his crew
- the Glaubitz fire department for daily watering of the grounds
- the deeply relaxed Glaubitz residents
- our street team, who supported us in advance by distributing flyers and sticking up posters
all other participating companies that responded to our spontaneous special requests
We hope we haven't forgotten anyone here... THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! ...say BACK TO FUTURE & CULTURAL ASSOCIATION GLAUBITZ
HECKSCHADEN
Is hiking punk rock? This question can only be answered by the extreme athlete and drummer of the band HOTEL ENERGIEBALL Tobbe Falarz himself ... HE had to cancel their show at the BACK TO FUTURE due to his repeated hiking accident. On our part, we wish Tobbe a speedy recovery with the advice not to become more cocky as he gets older.
A replacement was found quickly, HECKSCHADEN from Wurzen will now open the BTF on Friday. Sternburg ole`! The running order has therefore changed insignificantly on Friday, but »LOOK FOR YOURSELF.
So see you today dear ones, we will receive you from 7:00 p.m. with a cold draft beer.
USEFUL HINTS AND INFORMATION
Just one more day and it won't just be the sun burning in Glaubitz. The area is ready, today only the stages are coming and we are ready for you.
But here are some super important information in bullet points that you should take to heart:
- the campsite opens Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m.
- For festival visitors with a class “B” disability card, the accompanying person receives free entry; the relevant proof must be carried
- are you under 18 years old? - please bring this »FORM FORM filled out!
- open fires are strictly prohibited due to the increased risk of fire, grilling is permitted
- There is no glass on the campsite because the green meadow is the home of the horses again after the festival, vehicle checks are carried out
- Weapons and illegal drugs have no place on the festival grounds/campground
- Leave dogs and other pets in caring hands this weekend
- Avoiding waste is a top priority; if you don't dispose of it properly, we have to clean it up after you. We provide enough options for this!
- The instructions of our security staff must be followed
- Fascist ideas, music and culture are not possible!
- Register sound, photo and film recordings with us!
The following note about arrival. As in previous years, there will be a speed limit in the campsite festival area. Traffic surveillance measures (flashing) by the police are to be expected, especially on arrival days! This measure is not directed against our visitors, but rather to protect them. For this reason, we would like to point out that you should definitely take care of yourself and those around you when hiking between the campsite, the festival site, local catering establishments and the forest pool. You're crossing a federal highway and one or two road users aren't expecting such a colorful party community in the middle of nowhere in Saxony.
PRE-SALE-END AND IMPRESSIONS
Advance sales for this year's festival have ended, all tickets will also be available at the box office! The perfect festival weather is announced!
Everything is going well during construction, here are a few impressions:
BACK-TO-FUTURE 2014
In two weeks the ghost will be history. Starting next weekend we will already be on site and will make everything stylish for you. Contact with us will therefore be a little more limited, but we will keep you constantly updated about our development results. Until Thursday, July 10th. We process all incoming ticket orders via our homepage, then it's over and we refer you to the box office. Of course there are all day tickets and the festival ticket.
PUNK ROCK SUPERBOWL #2
Finally, the note about July 26th, 2014 and the PUNK ROCK SUPERBOWL #2 in the garden of the youth center in Rosswein. The line up is complete. In addition to the legendary THE DICTATORS from NYC, there is the equally infamous Joey Shithead and his D.O.A. from Canada to experience. Furthermore, LOUSY will swing their tired bones out of the hospital and show that they still have what it takes. The fine spectacle is completed by BRUTAL VERBIMMELT from Berlin, NASTY PACK from Connewitz and the SICK TIMES venues.
Craziness! Pre-sales are now well underway for this too. Tickets are also available on our homepage.
Stay tuned, BACK TO FUTURE 2014 will be a blast!!!
