Attention music lovers! The Noise Pop music festival is gearing up for its 32nd year, and if you haven’t been to one of their shows yet, you’re missing out. To support independent artists and bring back fan favorite music venues, Noise Pop has opportunities for everyone to discover their new favorite artists. 

1993 Noise Pop was born as a five-night festival full of underground artists and unforgettable music. Today, the festival spans 10 days across 25 venues with 160 incredible bands to see! Through its partnerships with numerous organizations, the festival has quickly become a leader in cultural events in the area. One of the festival partners is the California Academy of Sciences, which grants you the unique opportunity to party in one of the Bay’s most incredible venues after hours.

The festival has no talent shortage with notable artists Phoebe Bridgers and Alex G. If you want to say you saw our following favorite artists before they blew up, don’t let this unique, local opportunity pass you. Don’t miss out on St. Vincent playing her self-written indie hits that never fail to provoke thoughts and connections to the real world. If you’re more of a rock enthusiast, be sure to catch Benjamin Gibbard while he performs one of his many songs spanning 28 years and 12 albums. If you’re seeking more, the festival highlights over five genres with people of all backgrounds and cultures.   

What happens if you can’t pick just one act to see? Don’t worry! The festival offers the opportunity to buy a badge, offering you unrestricted access to all concerts, parties, and happy hours throughout the ten days. If this is too much for you, make sure to stop by at least one show to get in on the action, and be sure to get a badge next year!
