FLYER UPDATE
No joke, dear BTF community, we were a bit happier year after year with the line-ups of the last BTF events. From time to time there was an improvement, at least for us, and we were really happy because we couldn't believe that it was even more fantastic than the festival before. Always three days of state of emergency at its finest. And hey, 2023 will be extra fat! Look at this! We can hardly believe what awaits us there. This flyer bangs like hell throughout and we already have umpteen melodies in our ears that make us totally jittery. This will simply be the best punk rock party, with the best audience, a terrific crew and a totally extraordinary soundtrack!
Now it's your turn, share the flyer on all your profiles and shout it out loud to the world. Get your tickets in advance and give us planning security! Quick note - a quarter of the tickets are already gone and the space is known to be limited.
Please stay healthy and hopefully enjoy the days off.
Greetings from the BTF crew

COCK SPARRER (UK)
Yep, you got it right! Even after you've bumped your arm, cheek or out of sheer disbelief for the umpteenth time pinched in the eye, the image of this confirmation will not change.
Just this year, COCK SPARRER celebrated their Golden Wedding and in the 51st year theirs
They finally find their way to tranquil Glaubitz, 362 days a year.
We've been tinkering with this performance for a while and in 2023 it will become a reality. Kicks with Cock Sparrer
one of the most important punk rock bands on the Glaubitz stage, which was there from the start, Oi! shaped and also
still absolutely convincing today. Over the decades, the Londoners have not only one
worldwide reputation, but have influenced countless well-known bands with their anthems and several
Captivated generations of punks and skins.
We are really incredibly happy to welcome this band with you next July and this one
wiill set us all in fire, "because you're young"!

TEAM SCHEISSE (GER)
Everyone who is involved with
been busy at our festival for some time. And in this case Team Scheisse are a very special one
Phenomenon and maybe not a completely new band after all.
In 2021 they released their first with "I brought you flowers from the gas station (now we're kissing)".
LP that literally hit like a bomb. In November 2021 they played their first live show for the release of their LP in front of a sold-out audience in Bremen
text safe house.
At the beginning of 2022 we went on a mini tour for the first time, which was sold out within a very short time.
By now they were on everyone's lips and more in demand than water in the desert. ...and all in times
a pandemic! With their special German punk, they are definitely in the right place at the right time.
Your lyrics are simply... simply brilliant! They are full of humor, but also quite serious topics
definitely in tune with the times.
Start collecting your deposit, because in 2023 Glaubitz will say "Insloch, beep"

THE STITCHES (US)
THE STITCHES were in Europe for the last time in 2013, we were allowed to see them at our open-air festival in the
Juha Rosswein host... 10 years later the time has finally come and they play on our baby in
Glaubitz!
We'll just shut up and just quote Dirk Klotzbach's longer introduction to one
Interview in OxFanzine with singer Mike Lohrman, there is no better way to describe the band,
Sugar:
“Should it really be necessary to introduce THE STITCHES from Los Angeles? Should actually anyone this
If you answer the question with "yes", that's how this someone would have deserved it, from the boys themselves
to get a set of hot ears, or at least should be forced to, the "8 x 12" LP like that
to listen for a long time until every single word on this masterpiece can be prayed out by heart. That epochal
Platte, the '77 hooliganism and complete nihilism paired with a large dose of (self) destruction
celebrated at a time when nobody was interested in this kind of punk anymore, what the band
myself, by the way, couldn't have itch less. In contrast to many of today's bands and those of that time,
who babble about a larger audience, who want to reach more people and spread a message, for that too

Debut on vinyl of all times, when this medium had already cremated almost everyone? while in
other bands in the wake of the OFFSPRING and GREEN DAY chart successes in the second half of the 90's as well
Wanting to taste the fame, the STITCHES simply beat some into alcohol, amphetamines and other substances

songs, except that it wasn't a fake image, it was her life..."

Hm, looking at the current state of affairs conjures up a long-lasting grin in the middle
in the face. Because the previous mix is varied and above all top-class. In the spirit
by "All Killer No Filler". If we didn't know for sure, we'd say it is
is a punk rock festival like we couldn't do better. Okay, we do it yes and
that's why we're so excited again and really looking forward to the three days in the
July. Because even in addition to the first-class program on stage, the unique
Wellness days that we - bands, audience and crew - together again to the best of 2023
make. We're really up for it and are eager to continue tinkering. Like it
looks like there will be a few top-class artists in the line-up before punk Christmas. Stay great
curious; excited!
If you want to significantly increase your anticipation or that of others by the end of the year,
we have prepared something: our super chic hard tickets. They look damn good
are fabulously handy and lie ingeniously in the hand. Total hammer, you have to do that
try out!

THE SPARTANICS (GER)
If you don't know THE SPARTANICS, you wouldn't suspect when listening that the trio in
Leipzig/Connewitz is more rooted in East End London. We watch the band whose
Members have been BTF visitors for a long time.
The guys play no frills Oi! punk, with a distinctly British touch. Had the band
Given in England 40 years ago, they would undoubtedly be on one of these legendary Oi!
Sampler landed.
But back to the present - there is so much energy and connection in their songs
this classic Oi! sound with a politically correct claim, we really like that!
...finally loud again Oi! Oi! Oi! roar along! They currently have their second LP via
Smith & Miller Records, dubbed Sad Days For The Kids.
08 Dec 22
CHEAP STUFF (GER)
The five Dresdeners have been with us for more than 20 years at the BTF. At first
as a welcome band, in recent years increasingly as crew members and
paying guests. ...and now it's our turn to make things easier
our guilty conscience!
Not every festival can claim to be such a classy and likeable one
To have a band right on your doorstep, musically you would find their melodic
Streetpunk is more likely to be associated with the west coast of America.
Your last LP "Kings and Pawns" has probably shown more than clearly that the
Boys still have a lot of bite even after a longer release break - great album!
Dear CHEAP STUFFER - see you in Glaubitz in July at the latest!

DEECRACKS (AUT)
The three Viennese punk rockers are known for their merciless live shows. No wonder with far
over 800 gigs on four continents they have a lot of practice at it. The concertless Corona
Time must have been an absolute nightmare for her, especially since it was her last at that time
Aptly titled "Serious Issues" album on American label Pirates Press
appeared.
Now they are fulfilling another wish and can be behind our little one in the summer
Punk festival "Back To Future" also make a tick.
We say Welcome to punk rock wellness in the provinces, DeeCracks!

THE MELMACS (GER) - cool name, cool band, best sound! <
Who remembers the early nineties TV series "ALF"? yes sure
almost everyone here. Alf landed on Earth from the planet Melmac,
which was destroyed by a nuclear catastrophe and
was then characterized by the finest lounging.
The danger of a nuclear catastrophe is more relevant than ever
and loafing is still frowned upon. ...but then come
THE MELMACS with their good mood sound/power pop/77 punk
around the corner and make the world colorful again and leave
forget. Their brand new disc "GOOD ADVICE" is forthcoming
a few days with a terrific delay at Wanda and
Bakraufarfita Records landed - absolute purchase recommendation from us!
...and next year the band members are not only in
audience or represented in the BTF crew, but also on the
Glaubitz stage.

DEAD 77 (US)
DEAD 77 are rather unknown in Oiropa. The boys are coming
from Los Angeles and classify themselves as the “West Coast
punk rock” to. That is geographically correct and the optical style
also fits in with it, but musically it goes a whole way
Level more aggressive to the point - the band even more sympathetic
power.
This year her first long player came with "Demons".
out and it's going in 2023, after a short flying visit
this year, a second time to Europe. Watch out! -
absolute insider tip! We've already heard it
Goosebumps, they probably have additional explosives live
on bag!
P.S.- who "Civilization's Dying" by the brilliant ZERO BOYS
makes it even more ingenious, it's a must-see in Glaubitz
introduce!
