TSG - DRINKING AND SINGING COMMUNITY
We still have something! And what?
Drumroll - The TSG! The DRINKING AND SINGING COMMUNITY from Bernau. Sounds sporty, it is sporty. As you may have already noticed, we received tour cancellations from two bands. VICE SQUAD and POISON IDEA are hard to replace. Luckily, we always have a list of ideal candidates in our drawer. Despite 30 bands on the weekend, unfortunately not all wishes can be implemented. But now we could try the list again.
As annoying as the cancellations are, we are incredibly happy to be able to present you with a fantastic group that lives out their love of football and beer musically. Just thinking about the young band's boozy hits makes us thirsty. Four Bernau musicians including a ukulele, a beer table, a beer bench - that's all it takes to convince you. By the way, none other than OXO 86 frontman Willi is on guitar and vocals!
On the other hand, ABFUKK are stepping into the breach at short notice. Schland's self-proclaimed bottom drawer at the BTF!!! ABFUKK come out with a new LP “bock.auf.stress.”.

REZUREX
Unfortunately, we received a cancellation these days. The Americans of THE CRAZY SQUEEZE postpone their European tour to November. We would have liked to see the band around Johnny Witmer (THE STITCHES) in Glaubitz, but it shouldn't be. Fortunately, we can announce replacements in the same breath. REZUREX from L.A. will step in at short notice on Thursday. The Psychobilly Monster completes the opening night. In addition to ANTI FLAG, DDP, THE TIPS, FIGHTBALL and the newly booked REZUREX will open the festival on Thursday!
We will be offering day tickets in advance for the next few days.

STRONGBOW (GER)
Unfortunately, we have not yet managed to publish an official report regarding STRONGBOW. Sorry. It is with a heavy heart that we have to postpone the STRONGBOW show until next year at BACK TO FUTURE. Unfortunately, we didn't make it clear enough how important this band is to us and how important it is to us to create as unique an event as possible with "our" bands at our festival. Therefore there were coordination problems and misunderstandings. STRONGBOW will be playing at the ANTISTYLE festival this year and we recommend everyone to stop by Riesa and check out the band. At Back To Future again in 2016!
In order to avoid misunderstandings of this kind in the future, we will put a “SHORT STATEMENT” on our homepage. Every band can then read what is important to us at a performance.

MY BUDDY IS A FIRE DANGER!
Time's running. We are in the middle of planning for this year's Open Air and are planning a nice birthday party next Friday (May 15th) as a warm-up for the BTF.
All the bands have rocked at one of our concerts, but it certainly hasn't happened in this constellation before. The Belgian punk rock veterans THE KIDS are supported by STAGE BOTTLES, RASTA KNAST, TV SMITH and NASTY PACK from Leipzig. A lot of program for an 80th birthday! It starts promptly - 7:00 p.m.
Tickets are still available for pre-sale on our homepage until Friday 10:00 a.m. During the week we will convert the incoming orders into a reservation for the box office, you will receive a corresponding email response. Some of you will take a longer journey - don't worry, everyone will get their ticket.
I'll see you on friday!

MY BUDDY IS A FIRE DANGER!
Before the BTF we invite you again to Rosswein for a crazy warm-up show. On the grounds of the youth center, an exuberant punk rock party will be celebrated under the motto “My buddy is extremely dangerous”! We are as proud as Bolle to be able to present you the Belgian punk legend THE KIDS. We are also looking forward to meeting our friends from Frankfurt/M. - STAGE BOTTLES. The Americans from NOTHINGTON's European tour has unfortunately been postponed until a later date because their new release is taking more time than expected... damn annoying. As we all know, good things take time. We will then be able to present NOTHINGTON to you at a new date, we promise! As replacements we have none other than RASTA KNAST and TV SMITH at the start, THANK YOU for the short-term commitments. Opening the evening are NASTY PACK from Leipzig... what a brilliant line up! As usual, advance booking tickets are available HERE
Another quick note about the BTF-VVK. Today is the last date to secure your festival ticket for €45.00 - STAY UP!

POWERFUL NEW ARRIVAL - TERRORGRUPPE (GER)
Unser aktueller Neuzugang für`s BTF 2015:
THE ONE AND ONLY - T E R R O R G R U P P E from X-Berg live und in Farbe in Glaubitz beim Back To Future/ Glaubitz Open Air! Wir sehen Euch schon kopfschüttelnd den Zeigefinger an die Stirn tippend. "Jetzt drehen sie komplett durch!"
Das Back To Future verbindet eine Menge mit den verrückten Hunden aus Berlin. Schon 1996 waren sie zu Gast beim BTF- Vorläufer in Großenhain. Und sagen wir mal so, sie hinterließen verbrannte Erde. Ok, der Gag war nicht gut, aber er musste sein. Zu einer Zeit, in der das Ettiket Deutschpunk szeneintern schonmal als Stigma Verwendung fand, veröffentlichte die TERRORGRUPPE drei essentielle Singles und brachte mit Anspruch, Humor und Energie jede Menge frischen Wind in die dahinsiechende Szene. Und irgendwie machen die Songs immernoch richtig Spaß. Wir sagen nur "Keine Airbags für die CSU!" oder "Mein Skateboard ist wichtiger als Deutschland".
Mit Bekanntgabe der TERRORGRUPPE gehen wir in die letzte Phase unserer zweiten Vorverkaufs-Staffel. Der entgültige VVK- Preis unseres Festivaltickets beträgt ab 01.04.15 dann 49,00 €. In den kommenden Wochen werden wir veröffentlichen, welche Band an welchem Tag spielen wird. Dann werden wir auch ein Kontingent Tagestickets in den VVK geben. Aber wer will das schon?

RIESIGER NEUZUGANG - ANTI FLAG!
Let's start with the not-so-good news. The CASUALTIES have canceled their European tour and the Back To Future show is also falling victim to this. Shit. But we have a replacement! Not a replacement in the true sense, more of a band for those who are two sizes too small. Cough cough. Ladies and gentlemen here are: ANTI FLAG - one of the most impressive political punk bands from overseas. During their European weekend, the Americans stop once in Austria and once in Hungary. There is also the only Eastern show on the BTF! But be careful - ANTI FLAG are already in Glaubitz on Thursday!!! We'll put the running order for Thursday online in the next few weeks - that means planning a vacation. We'll just let the CURRENT VIDEO speak for itself!
Also in our line up is the British punk legend ANTI PASTI. We were guests at their concert in the no less legendary Freiberg Castle in the distant past and are incredibly happy to be presenting their first concert in Germany after 20 years.
As a special treat we landed THE TIPS. You definitely shouldn't miss it. Reggae with ska and soul elements, which is grounded in punk. Convince YOURSELF!
Let's put it bluntly: whoever secures an advance ticket right now isn't the stupidest ;-). Stay curious and keep checking back here.

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!
