Noise Pop Festival

Noise Pop Music & Arts Festival is an annual celebration of independent culture in the Bay Area. Over the course of the week, the Bay Area is transformed into your own personal festival grounds with multiple acts playing each night. Since the Noise Pop debut in 1993, the Festival has featured many emerging performers who have gone on to wide acclaim, including The White Stripes, Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, The Flaming Lips, The Shins, Fleet Foxes, and Bright Eyes.

Noise Pop Music & Arts Festival takes the best venues in the Bay and collectively turns them into a commemoration of the Bay's indie culture. Throughout the week there are different films, art shows, happy hours, and concerts all over SF and the East Bay.

There are two ways to attend the fest: buy a badge and get into everything or pick and choose by purchasing tickets to individual shows and films. All festival badges include access to film screening events, bringing even more to the festival experience.

Last year in its 25th year, Noise Pop Must & Arts Festival saw its highest rated attendance, with nearly every act playing to sold-out crowds! Over 28,000 people from all parts of the Bay Area came together for a week jam-packed with music. And we can't wait to do it all over again this year.
