John Waters’ Bay Area festival Mosswood Meltdown will return on July 18 and 19 at Oakland’s Mosswood Park, with a special pre-party planned for July 17. Headliners for the two-day event are Iggy Pop and Bikini Kill, with Pavement, Wednesday, and Vivian Girls performing the evening prior. Other artists set to play over the weekend include Otoboke Beaver, Scowl, The Spits, The Dirtbombs, The Dead Milkmen, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, and Jackie & Judy—a.k.a. Fred Armisen, Corin Tucker, and Carrie Brownstein playing a set of Ramones cuts.
Regarding the event, Waters said: “What a crowd! Angry, funny, young and old, hung and bold, ruder and cruder! Burning Man? Hell, no! We’re the festival that ignites the music, hops on the explosion and rides it into the mosh pit. Look out! Look out! The punks are coming to get you this summer!”
