Devo is on its way to the East Bay.
The highly influential new wave band — which formed in Akron, Ohio, in 1973 — is set to headline the first day of the Mosswood Meltdown in Oakland. So, turn on out on July 19 to hear Devo perform such fan favorites as “Girl U Want,” “Planet Earth, “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Secret Agent Man,” “Uncontrollable Urge,” “Gates of Steel,” “Freedom of Choice” and, of course, “Whip It.”
Looking beyond Devo, the July 19 lineup also features Osees, Exploding Hearts and other acts. The July 20 bill — yes, Mosswood Meltdown is a two-day affair — is topped by legendary riot grrrl act Bratmobile and also boasts Shannon and the Clams, La Luz, Oakland vocalist Kreayshawn and more.
Devo’s Mosswood Meltdown appearance is part of the band’s ongoing (and lengthy) farewell tour.
And fans will have yet another chance to wave goodbye to Devo when it returns to the Bay Area for a performance on Oct. 16 at Shoreline Amphitheatre at Mountain View. That South Bay date is part of a co-headlining run with The B-52’s, the Athens, Georgia pop-rockers who are also in the midst of an ever-extending farewell jaunt.
Mosswood Meltdown runs 11 a.m.-10 p.m. both days. Two-day festival passes start at $176.28. Saturday-only ducats are $227.83 and Sunday tickets are $135.05. Visit mosswoodmeltdown.com for tickets and more information.
