Since 1993, Noise Pop Festival has been a way for local San Franciscan musicians to come together and celebrate their music. You’ll get to meet people decked out in neon and wondering when they can next crowd-surf the audience. This eclectic, indie-loving lineup at Noise Pop brings together the best upcoming musicians from different areas of the music scene. With shows scattered in venues around the entire city, this is a great way to experience the best hipster bars and clubs in San Francisco.
The one-week festival has over 160 bands, 80 events, and 25 venues, and is a Bay Area staple for any music lover. 2023 marks Noise Pop Festival’s 30th anniversary, and the festival is going all out to celebrate with a special lineup of indie bands, up-and-coming artists, and local Bay Area bands. This year’s lineup includes Yo La Tengo and Duster and smaller artists like Katie Pearlman and Zola. Catch Neon Indian DJ’ing at the California Academy of Sciences one night and L.A. Witch at the Kilowatt the next.

FAQs
Are there any age restrictions? Many of the events are for 21+ but there are some for all ages.
What is the parking situation? San Francisco is known for its MUNIs and has the BART (SF’s own mini version of the NYC subway) so take advantage of that instead of hauling your car into the city.
