Iggy Pop to Headline Mosswood Meltdown Festival This Summer

Decades have passed since his first electrifying performance, yet Iggy Pop remains a force to be reckoned with on the stage. Recently announced as the headliner of a prominent festival this summer, fans are eagerly anticipating his legendary presence.

The lineup for this year’s Mosswood Meltdown festival, set for July 18th and 19th, was revealed via an Instagram post by the event organizers. Sharing the stage with Iggy Pop on the first night are Otoboke Beaver, Scowl, The Spits, The Fadeaways, and Primitive Ring. The second night will feature Bikini Kill as headliners, along with The Return of Jackie & Judy, The Dead Milkmen, Frankie & The Witch Fingers, Frightwig, and Las Nubes.

In a statement posted on Instagram, festival host John Waters captured the spirit of the event, describing the crowd as diverse and vibrant. The post also included a quote from Waters, setting the tone for a festival that promises an explosive and energetic experience for all attendees.

High praise from commenters greeted the lineup announcement, with one fan expressing excitement for what is being dubbed as one of the greatest Mosswood Meltdown lineups ever. Another fan chimed in, eagerly anticipating a future appearance by L7.

The pre-party for Mosswood Meltdown, taking place on July 17, will feature alt-rockers Pavement as headliners, accompanied by Wednesday and Vivian Girls. Tickets for this event, priced at $99, offer fans a chance to kick off the festival experience early and separate from the main event on July 18-19.

As the San Francisco Chronicle notes, Mosswood Meltdown has become a staple of the Bay Area music scene over its two-decade existence, boasting a lineup that blends punk history with cult favorites and unexpected reunions. The addition of the pre-party on July 17 marks a unique shift for the festival, breaking away from its traditional single-weekend format.

The stage is set for an unforgettable weekend of music and revelry at Mosswood Meltdown, with iconic performers like Iggy Pop and Bikini Kill leading the charge. As festival-goers gear up for this one-of-a-kind experience, the anticipation and excitement continue to build, promising an unforgettable summer event for music lovers of all kinds.
