"Iggy Pop and Bikini Kill are the two marquee headliners for the two-day event, which runs July 18-19 at Mosswood Park in Oakland. That's definitely a formidable pairing, with the Godfather of Punk topping the Mosswood Meltdown bill on Day 1 and the Olympia, Washington riott grrl legends closing up the festival on Day 2. The other Day 1 acts include Japanese quartet Otoboke Beaver, Santa Cruz hardcore act Scowl, Michigan skate-punk band The Spits, Detroit garage rockers The Dirtbombs,"
"Tokyo garage-punkers The Fadeaways and Los Angeles power trio Primitive Ring. Joining Bikini Kill on Day 2 are The Return of Jackie & Judy (aka, Fred Armisen joining Sleater-Kinney's Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein in a set of Ramones tunes), Philly punkers The Dead Milkmen, Indiana indie-rockers Frankie & The Witch Fingers, Bay Area punk act Frightwig and Miami rockers Las Nubes. And, as per usual, famed director John Waters will return to host the festival. Weekend passes are $179 general admission and $299 VIP."
