30+ years of championing independent culture


From its humble beginnings in 1993 as a single night, 5 band bill at The Kennel Club (now The Independent), Noise Pop Festival has remained a cultural arbiter and community advocate within the local SF music scene. 


After 30 years of championing independent arts and culture, Noise Pop Festival has since blossomed into a one week, 160+ band, 80+ event, 25+ venue music and arts festival that remains a staple in the San Francisco bay area.

What is Noise Pop Festival

One of the last of its kind - Noise Pop Festival is a true celebration of independent music and arts. Taking place across multiple venues throughout the city of San Francisco, Noise Pop Festival is a way to explore new artists, venues and nightlife the old fashioned way… by hopping from one show to the next, all week long!

It's For the Music Nerds

Where else can you say you saw Carly Rae Jepson and American Football at the same festival?? Our specially curated lineups bring together people from all over who share one common interest - we like GOOD music.
