Mosswood Meltdown, returns to Oakland’s Mosswood Park July 18th & 19th, 2026, with a pre-party on July 17th featuring Pavement, Wednesday, and Vivian Girls, the festival reveals its official lineup today, with tickets on sale now. Saturday is headlined by the “Godfather of Punk” Iggy Pop, following Japanese quartet Otoboke Beaver, Santa Cruz’s Scowl, skate-punks The Spits, garage rock Detroiters The Dirtbombs, always-unpredictable Tokyo troublemakers The Fadeaways, and Los Angeles’ Primitive Ring. Legendary feminist punk pioneers Bikini Kill will cap off an epic Sunday, which also features The Return of Jackie & Judy aka Fred Armisen, Corin Tucker & Carrie Brownstein playing tunes by The Ramones, Philly’s seasoned punks The Dead Milkmen, the electrifying Frankie and The Witch Fingers, cult favorites Frightwig, and Miami rockers Las Nubes. Mosswood Meltdown will be hosted John Waters, who will be the wonderfully wicked host. Additional artists and afterparties will be announced in the coming months.
