Dirtbombs

The Dirtbombs bring their ferocious Detroit garage rock sound to the sun-drenched lawns of Mosswood Park in Oakland as part of the legendary Mosswood Meltdown festival. Known for their explosive dual-drummer setup and raw, high-voltage performances, the Dirtbombs are a must-see act for anyone who believes rock and roll should hit you like a freight train. Mosswood Park, nestled in the heart of Oakland's vibrant community, provides a uniquely intimate outdoor setting that makes every performance feel both massive and personal. The Dirtbombs share the bill on Saturday, July 18, 2026 with an extraordinary lineup that includes punk godfather Iggy Pop, the ferocious Japanese feminist punk outfit Otoboke Beaver, and rising hardcore force Scowl — alongside The Spits and the inimitable cult filmmaker John Waters. Mosswood Meltdown has earned its reputation as one of the most authentically curated alternative music festivals on the West Coast, and this edition takes that legacy to thrilling new heights. Expect a day of unbridled energy, community spirit, and music that refuses to compromise. Whether you're a longtime Dirtbombs devotee or discovering them for the first time amid this stacked lineup, Mosswood Park delivers the perfect backdrop — open sky, lush greenery, and the crackling electricity of a crowd united by a love of raw, honest rock and roll.
