Acclaimed rock act set to headline Bay Area festival pre-party

If you’re a Bay Area music fan who believes that two days of Mosswood Meltdown just isn’t enough then, well, you’re going to love what’s in store for 2026.

For the first time, organizers are adding a third day — a big pre-party — to the mix for this popular punk/indie-rock festival at Mosswood Park in Oakland.

Not only will you get the regular Saturday and Sunday showings — which have just been announced as happening July 18-19 — but you’ll also get to rock out on that Friday, July 17, as well.
