TURBOSTAAT (GER)
TURBOSTAAT are finally coming to Back To Future, people! They are the can opener for your punk rock soul. Since '99 they have been thundering through the music landscape with their mix of punk and rock, anger and melancholy. Your texts? Damn smart, political and profound. Your sound? A powerful punch in the pit of the stomach. They're not just any band, they're the exclamation mark in the German-speaking punk rock scene! Rebellion wrapped in melodies, social criticism with a grin. They have fun, they make noise and they have influenced us all. TURBOSTAAT - more than just music, a damn lifestyle.

THE SELECTER (UK)
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, MADNESS, SPECIALS and, well who? The Selector! One of the absolute 2-Tone Ska flagships, active since - damn it - 1979(!), so if anyone here deserves the title “legend”, it is the British band with the unique Pauline Black on vocals . Hand-stopped 16 albums, countless cross-generational catchy tunes, several UK Top 10 hits and a unique aura - THE SELECTER are something very special and we are looking forward to a very special evening with one of the best and biggest bands in the genre!

LOWER CLASS BRATS (US)
The Clockwork Punk Legion LOWER CLASS BRATS has been on our list for ages. Active since the 90s, back then one of the spearheads of the new authentic American street punk, apart from chart-toppers like GREEN DAY or OFFSPRING, more of a pioneer for FORGOTTEN, UNSEEN or BONECRUSHER.
Founded in Austin, now moved to California and on the road with great new material, it's not just the past that's celebrated here. Punk, Oi!, a dash of glam - Real Punk is an endangered species!

KNOCHENFABRIK (GER)
Do you remember the legendary last BTF show from KNOCHENFABRIK in 2018? It was super awesome, right? Well then - we have great news! After 6 years, Knofa are finally coming back to Punkerhausen, erm Glaubitz!
No real punk party can do without their legendary hits like “Filmriss” or “Green Hair” etc. Open a few beers, oil your vocal cords and get ready to shout along: “We didn't plan to ever be born and yet somehow it happened. When we finally recognized ourselves and thought everything was pretty shit, we understood the most important thing..."

THE MEFFS (UK)
Apparently Frank Turner and Fat Mike are the band's biggest fans, but that can't actually be true. The band's biggest fans are undoubtedly the Back To Future booking team. However, it is very true that Frank Turner produced the Essex punk rock duo's first record. Lily and Lewis Meff gallop through British music history and collect the honey dust from CRASS, the SLEAFORD MODS, THE STREETS and THE CLASH. For music lovers it will be one of the highlights at BTF 2024, we promise! Energetic, loud, political - and after their BTF show you'll probably also be the band's biggest fans.

HARD SKIN FOR THE FIRST TIME AT BTF!
Oi! Mate! The hardest of all hard Oi! bands is with us for the first time. Fat Bob and his skinhead gang won't leave a dry eye or throat. “Oi! Not Jobs!”, “We Are The Wankers”, “Still Fighting Thatcher” - the list of songs to sing along to is almost endless and HARD SKIN are living proof that even bone-dry Oi! music can be ironic without being embarrassing to drift away. The appearance with us was and is long overdue, see you in front of the stage with one or more cans of beer! Wow, how excited we are already!

"RISK IT! should play at Back To Future sometime!"
Something like this has been whispered to us several times. The band from Dresden is now a powerhouse when it comes to old school hardcore in this country and they know how to easily win over even skeptics of the harder style to their side thanks to their friendly and energetic nature. Hopefully they'll leave the tent standing on Thursday evening... and oh, don't worry, it won't get any harder!

PRE-SALE IS ON
It was not to be expected that we were literally overrun with the sale of early bird tickets and that 530 tickets were ultimately ordered within 26 hours. The processing of the orders therefore took longer and was only completed a few days ago.
Now we're starting the regular punk rock wellness pre-sale. As with the Early Bird-Tix, we had to increase the price by a few marks compared to the previous year, but there are no other hidden costs, i.e. camping and parking are still included. There will be a minimum age requirement for children of 4 years for the family camp, and it will also be moved further away from the festival site to a quieter area. However, we will also comment specifically on this.
Tomorrow we'll start with the first band announcements at irregular intervals; the goal is three performances per week. The band framework is in place and we are already excited to introduce you to the line up little by little. In December there will be the first overall flyer, then Christmas will come and with our beautifully designed tickets you won't make a mistake.
What we would like to say is that we ask bands to refrain from further applications.

WE NEED EACH OTHER
Our friends from STAGE BOTTLES were back on the BTF stage this year after a few years. This month their new LP with the appropriate title "WE NEED EACH OTHER" sees the light of day. You can already hear the song of the same name, it sounds absolutely promising!
In the video you can find a number of excerpts from this year's BTF, not only worth listening to, but also worth seeing!
