Your band on the Back To Future Festival
Our open air festival is a wellknown german subculture music festival with a strictly punk attitude. That don't mean a chaotic organisation (like our first one in 1996), this mean our background is 100 per cent punk rock, oi, psycho, ska & hc. Beside we writing for fanzines (from Maximum R'n'R to Ox, from 3rd Generation Nation to Moloko Plus), booking tours, organizing concerts, djing, buying records and visiting concerts, concerts, concerts. We are crazy music nerds and doing different stupid things during the year for the music we love. But this is a problem too, we aren't cool business men so not each decision is transparent for others.
Of course permanently we looking for bands and music we love. But normally a crazy band with a fantastic 7" release from down under (could be each fuckin' country around the globe) isn't the right band for the festival. We must book bigger bands to wake the interest of the people. That means legendary bands and cool actual bands with a bigger fan base, good promotion and so on (most of our bands releasing more than one longplayer before and touring around the world). You find the line ups from the last years on our webpage, so feel free to check it and deside if you are one of these bands which are interested for us AND the festival. But each time we have the chance to bring some smaller bands on the bill too.
Than send us a letter with the actual vinyl or cd release and much informations (bandpicture, label, promo activities, tour plans, actual press articels, ...) as possible. Message us for post address.
A big point for smaller bands is to invite us to a concert. So if you touring east germany - the area chemnitz, leipzig, dresden, berlin - send us an email to check your band out.
Thanks for contacting us and asking how can my band be a part of the festival. The line up for 2009 is nearly fixed, so we can't manage much more. Please send your offer for 2010 (with your realistic financial interest) til end of 2009.
Best regards, the back to future crew.
