This renowned German fest (est. 1996) boldly warns that “no fashion victims or style addicts” will be tolerated. Luckily “music geeks from the outback” are more than welcome at its new home in Hangar, Dessau.

Spreading itself like a thick dollop of icing sugar across punk, psychobilly, oi! and ska, the broad spectrum of Back to Future is perhaps its most attractive feature. In truth, Back to Future is an exciting leap of faith as the organizers encourage you to “trust us ‘cause we like you” in their musical taste. Although bands of some prestige (including Canadians The Real McKenzies) will appear, it’s a festival more about great atmosphere than big names, beer than Schnitzel and fun over fashion.
