"Ring the alarm! Noise Pop, San Francisco's vanguard celebration of independent music and art festival, one of America's oldest in operation, is returning for its 33rd year. Shifting styles in the live performance space while lowkey influencing what names you will see on upcoming months of national festival posters in tiny font, it runs from Thu/19 through Sun/1. This year, festival organizers have stressed that half of the 150-plus acts performing at 20 venues throughout San Francisco and the East Bay are local."
"Where else you can experience 10 days of this kind of foggy mornings and eye-popping nights? Shows will take place in the Bay Area's most popular music venues, including The Independent, Great American Music Hall, The Chapel, Rickshaw Stop, SFJAZZ, August Hall, Gray Area, Bender's, 1015 Folsom, Swedish American Hall, and Kilowatt-not to mention, fond farewell shows at Bottom of the Hill."
Noise Pop returns for its 33rd year, running from Thu/19 through Sun/1. Over 150 acts will perform across 20 Bay Area venues, with organizers stressing that half the lineup are local artists. The renewed emphasis on regional performers responds to criticism and nods at a "doom loop" to "boom loop" era in San Francisco's music scene. Noise Pop began in 1993 as a "5 Bands for 5 Dollars" show at the Kennel Club (now The Independent) and has become a key indicator of upcoming national festival trends. Shows will take place at major venues across San Francisco and the East Bay, including several farewell performances at Bottom of the Hill.
