This is what it looks like right now!
As expected, the Corona and the postponement of the deadline shook our line up quite a bit. Nevertheless, we are bringing a few heavyweights onto the boards, about which we are extremely happy and can hardly believe it ourselves. In the coming days we will confirm other suitable bands that will perfectly complete the festival. Stay tuned!
We would like to give you an important note on the way: Get vaccinated - you festival representative!

SWISS & DIE ANDEREN FEAT. FERRIS
We can be controversial! We have already proven that several times. Whereby, we don't see Swiss & Die Andern as arguable. Instead, we are happy that it fits this year, after we have been talking about it behind the scenes for several years.
Simply party away with left-wing extremists, it will be really big.
By the way, the former Deichkind Ferris MC is also there!

LOIKAEMIE - WITHOUT WEATHER CAPRIOLS
The reunion 2019 at our riding arena was legendary! The sky was raging with happiness and shed tons of tears of joy, which is why the performance was on the brink, but then it turned into an unforgettable show by Loikaemie. In the end it was so brilliant that we’re going to reissue it this year. Only this time without the freak weather!

WE ARE POSTPONING TO THE 16.-18. SEPTEMBER 2021!
A few days ago, with RESIST TO EXIST and RUHRPOTT RODEO, two friendly open air festivals announced that they would be relocated to summer 2022. Taking this difficult step is more than understandable. The current legal framework and the silence of politics on the prospects of the summer open airs wear down every festival organizer. It is now hopeless to be able to plan and finance a safe open-air event on a reasonable scale for the period from June to August. It is unimaginable for us to have visitors on picnic blankets or mini-groups in a fenced square in front of the stage, especially not with distance control and mouth-nose protection and all of this without serving alcohol.
For this reason we have decided to set the date in late summer, more precisely on the 16.-18. September 2021 to be relocated. With this decision, we hope for approval due to a very high vaccination rate, the extensive test options, new methods of contact follow-up and further scientific knowledge from major events for this point in time. Of course we have had to learn in the last 15 months that the knowledge and work of today can be outdated tomorrow and ask you to always keep this in mind.
What is clear to us all, this one Pandemics can only be met with consistent behavior and not with anti-science and oaths. In the meantime, almost everyone can report serious to fatal courses of illness to close family and friends.
The summer September days of recent years give us all high hopes for a memorable open air event in these otherwise unpredictable ones Times. We also believe in bathing in the Glaubitzer Waldbad at the time of the festival, as you can see we have not lost our optimism. Our fantastic crew is behind the appointment, as are the most important service providers. But we also have to expect that the line-up will change significantly. It will get more of a Central European touch, because overseas bands will only reach us sporadically. But we are sure that we can get over that after this long dry spell. We will keep you up to date about changes and news, the first band update will follow shortly.
About your tickets - they are of course still valid and we hope to see you all in Glaubitz in September may. Anyone who cannot keep the new date for a variety of reasons and is dependent on the ticket money already paid has the option of a refund until July 23, 2021. More details on this in the coming days.

CREW-INTERVIEWS
We have had an idea for a long time to introduce our crew to you in more detail. In the past, this always fell victim to the lack of time. The excuse no longer counts and in the coming weeks and months we will put some helpers, who are part of the festival, such as bands and beer, in the mangle and subject them to a highly embarrassing survey. We present the results to you week after week on our channels.
Unfortunately we will not be able to publish all of the features we have planned here. Although there would have been more exciting stories (I'll throw the buzzwords `thirst express, bottle post fusion, spitting Oetker in the coffee` in the ring), there could be professional consequences for individual crew members in the future if the BTF gang It becomes clear who pushed, moderated or forced what and where. Too bad. However, we hope to be able to continue the series for a while, because everyone here has an incredibly interesting story to tell.
