ABOUT MOSSWOOD MELTDOWN

Oakland’s beloved festival Mosswood Meltdown is returning July 18th and 19th, 2026 to Mosswood Park. This year, we’re excited to be hosting a pre-party at Mosswood Park on July 17th, featuring three incredible acts. Acts will be announced shortly, and of course, the festival would not be complete without the inimitable and esteemed John Waters, who celebrates his 12th year as host in 2026. As CBS Bay Area praised, Mosswood Meltdown is “one of the most entertaining two-day celebrations of punk in the Bay Area” (CBS New Bay Area). This is a weekend not to be missed!
