THE MARKED MEN (US)
     

Have THE MARKED MEN ever been to Saxony? At best, very secretly as tourists, look at the Rakotz Bridge, the Semper Opera or the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, but on a local concert stage?

In the past, the crew of "The Flying Revolverblatt" (R.I.P.) would have arranged for a performance in a sweaty club, but now we're doing it ourselves. One of the best pop punk / garage bands ever! After the SPITS and BRIEFS last year, the next tick on our bucket list! File Under BUZZCOCKS, RAMONES, DICKIES!

KLABUSTERBÄREN (GER)
           

Halle's export hit, right behind the Halloren Kugeln, are definitely the KLABUSTERBÄREN!

Founded in 1994 at a squatter party, the Halle band has been playing German-language punk with influences from wave, NDW, reggae and pop melodies ever since. Over 30 years later they are on a BTF stage for the first time! An example for all the bands applying - you also need perseverance and should have already been a visitor to our festival.

With them in Glaubitz they have their eighth and most current album “Who wants it quiet should move to the country”. In our opinion, a musical milestone in their discography.

STAY STABLE

The next AfD party conference will take place this weekend in the "large district town of Riesa"! For those who don't know - Riesa is located at the gates of Glaubitz, on the other side of the Elbe.

After 2019 and 2022, the municipal company FVG Riesa (Förder- und Verwaltungsgesellschaft für Wirtschaft, Kultur und Sport Riesa mbH) is once again making its multi-purpose hall available to the AfD for a federal party conference. You have certainly already seen the brown tourist signs with "Sportstadt Riesa" on your drive to Glaubitz on the distant motorways - what a mockery! The "culture" in the hall is limited to concerts by Frei.Wild, cover bands of some "rock greats" (Rammstein, AC/DC etc.) or second-rate pop entertainment and bad comedy with Mario Barth, Elsterglanz or Olaf Schubert... can you figure out why the AfD likes to hold its federal party conferences in the Riesa Arena? We do! Explaining this would go beyond the scope of this article!

Alongside smaller concerts with little support in the KOMBI Nünchritz and the Jugendhaus Riesa, Back To Future remains the only subcultural bright spot or pinprick in the region and at least this should be preserved in the future. As you can see on the flyer, in addition to speeches on Saturday there will also be concerts by TEAM SCHEISSE, ZSK and PÖBEL MC from 9:00 a.m. in front of the WT-Energiesysteme Arena in Riesa. Who can say they have been to a concert early in the morning? You can find further information about the concerts etc. here:

BERNHARD FUXX (GER)
     

Bernhard Fuxx? A friend of Fix & Foxi, Bart Simpson or Bernd the Bread? Well, BERNHARD FUXX is not really a newcomer band, even if no physical recording has been released (yet) (10” EP is probably coming soon). The Back To Future regulars of the BEERSCHINKEN blog, which has been hardened by countless concert visits, help with the classification: “For friends of: The Bulls, Oidorno, Telekoma, Misstand, Fucking Angry, Replacement Head, Resistance '32, Plague Pox, Fuckin' Faces, Vice Dictator, Eight Balls, Disturbed Becker, Human Abstinence, Treptow”. Ok, so that could be totally bad or totally awesome, in any case, friends of FUCKIN' FACES will get their money's worth, because BERNHARD FUXX is the follow-up project to the singer with the distinctive voice of that same band.

We are excited and will take the opportunity to wish you all a healthy and successful New Year in the same breath!

SICK TIMES (GER)
         

SICK TIMES have NEVER played at Back To Future, what kind of sick times are we living in? A band that has its own spoon, table and locker next door in the Nünchritz station wagon has really never been here before? Unbelievable, the booking team is now banned from watching television for two weeks. So it's time to present the trio to you! American-style hardcore punk, 100% DIY attitude, likeable people, good beer drinkers: SICK TIMES from Leisnig!
