Mosswood Meltdown Announces 2026 Pre-Party With Pavement, Wednesday, & Vivian Girls

Last year's Mosswood Meltdown was a success with Kreayshawn's first performance in a decade, along with great sets from Devo, Osees, Bratmobile, Shannon & The Clams, and more. Now the John Waters-hosted festival is returning to Oakland on July 18 and 19. We do not yet know the lineup, but we do know that something very cool is happening the day before: A pre-party with Pavement, Wednesday, and Vivian Girls. Not bad for a pre-party, huh? Just like the festival itself, it'll take place at Mosswood Park with John Waters as the host. It's Pavement's first show announced for 2026. Find ticket information here.
