Mosswood Meltdown
July 6th & 7th, 2024

Bay Area music festivals represent! Cult filmmaker and local bad-ass John Waters is gearing up to host the Mosswood Meltdown summer festival in Oakland for the tenth time this year, on July 6th and 7th. Get ready to revel in some proper throwbacks, and, as Waters says, “our days to shine in the punk grime.”
This year’s full line-up has already been announced, and includes headliners The B-52s, who keep saying they’re retiring for good but happily keep coming back to give us more. Also playing are the Bay Area baddies Hunx and his Punx, Big Freedia, Redd Kross, Gibby Haynes and the Paul Green Rock Academy performing songs by the Butthole Surfers, and the first-ever drag contest hosted by Peaches Christ, with Waters as one of the judges.
Recent line-ups have included Bikini Kill, Le Tigre, Bratmobile, and the Linda Lindas. As always, Mosswood promises a more DIY, gritty vibe than your larger Cali-based Outside Lands and Coachella. That’s East Bay-style, baby.
