Woohoo! Burger Boogaloo is returning to Oakland’s Mosswood Park in 2019 on Saturday, July 6th and Sunday, July 7th for a 10th anniversary shindig featuring The Jesus and Mary Chain,The Scientists, Shannon And The Clams, Sheer Mag, and more! As always, the Boog is staying true to its roots with the return of our venomously venerable host John Waters and a lineup of historic punk rockers and young up-and-comers. Tickets are on sale now, with weekend passes starting at $129 and VIP weekend passes starting at $199.
But wait, there’s more! The Burger Boogaloo staff has committed themselves to helping those affected by Oakland’s ongoing housing crisis and will host a series of fundraisers both before and during the festival to raise money for those in need. Additionally, staffers will be volunteering with the organization Punks With Lunch, including a Benefit Show at The Uptown on Friday, January 18th with 100% of ticket sales going to the organization.
To that end, Burger Boogaloo is partnering with The Homeless Action Center in 2019; the only legal service program in the Bay Area that focuses exclusively on public benefits advocacy as a critical tool to reduce and end homeless. HAC provides legal advocacy that is no-cost, barrier-free, culturally sensitive, and non-judgmental. Attendees can join the cause by donating while purchasing tickets or in person at the festival.
