Noise Pop Festival

The West Coast’s premier indie music, film and arts festival returns February 26th through March 2nd, 2008

Noise Pop sprang to life in 1993; a single night in a small club showcasing the best that the burgeoning underground music scene San Francisco had to offer. Over the last 15 years it has developed into one of the country’s leading independent music festivals featuring many influential artists and musicians. The event has achieved grassroots and critical success as well as international recognition. Over the course of five days, Noise Pop now includes a film festival, an educational series, and art openings. It is a music-lover’s celebration - the shows sell out, people have fun, and every year the event grows in size and scope.
