Cal Jam ’18 is Gonna Go The Fuck Off

By Johnny Firecloud @@JohnnyFirecloud · On May 17, 2018

Foo Fighters will return to San Bernardino on Oct. 6 for the 2018 Cal Jam Festival, and they’ll be bringing along a batch of friends to send Summer packing at the annual throwdown – including the godfather of punk himself, Iggy Pop, performing a hotly anticipated encore set with his QOTSA-peppered band Post Pop Depression.

Shit’s gonna get wild. Jack Black’s band Tenacious D and Garbage are set to appear, as well as Zeppelin-channelers Greta Van Fleet, Silversun Pickups, Manchester Orchestra, The Front Bottoms, Black Mountain, Deer Tick, Gang of Youths, Slaves U.K., Giants in the Trees, Metz, Yungblud, Thunderpussy, Anna Von Hausswolff, Fea and Kingfish.

On Friday, Billy Idol will perform alongside Bridget Everett, Mexican Spanish-language Morrissey/Smiths tribute Mexrrissey and more.

If you plan on camping, get ready for a number of killer activities including late-night movies you can pretend to watch while you’re having sweaty drunk sex with the rando chick in cutoffs behind your tent.

Tickets for this year’s Cal Jam Festival go on sale on Thursday, May 17, at 10 a.m. One-day general admittance is $99, and Saturday ticket holders can purchase a Friday ticket for $30. Visit caljamfest.com or livenation.com for more info.
