Mosswood Meltdown

Mosswood Meltdown returns to Oakland's Mosswood Park on July 18th and 19th. And while the beloved festival "is known to traffic in legends, popular punk and punk-adjacent groups, and highly anticipated reunions," (KQED), this year they'll be kicking off with an indie-rock driven pre-party at the park on July 17th. The evening will feature the endlessly inspirational rock legends Pavement, Wednesday, "one of the best indie rock bands around" (Pitchfork), and reverb-loving and cool as hell punks Vivian Girls. And, it wouldn't be a proper Mosswood Meltdown without its fearless and subversive host, John Waters.

Mosswood Meltdown is an eccentric, one of a kind weekend. As SF Gate kindly sums it up, "at Mosswood Meltdown, the concept of a beautiful world looks quite different from other festivals, and it's better for it."

This festival lineup won't disappoint.

"Mosswood Meltdown is here and Oakland's going to have to duct-tape us to our seats because we're hot to trot, infected with attitude, nuts from social distancing and ready to slam dance to the moon." - John Waters
