This is in addition to the amazing Mosswood Meltodown pre-party happening Friday, July 17 in Mosswood Park with Pavement, Wednesday and Vivian Girls.

John Waters will be back as MC for all three nights and says: “What a crowd! Angry, funny, young and old, hung and bold, ruder and cruder! Burning Man? Hell, no! We’re the festival that ignites the music, hops on the explosion and rides it into the mosh pit. Look out! Look out! The punks are coming to get you this summer!”
