Event Details

SF’s Noise Pop Music & Arts Festival 2026 (Feb. 19 – Mar. 1)

Noise Pop

Noise Pop Festival returns February 19 – March 1, 2026.

After more than 30 years of championing independent arts and culture, Noise Pop Festival has since blossomed into an 11-day, 160+ bands, 25+ venue music and arts festival that remains a staple in the San Francisco Bay Area. 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. Experience is all by purchasing a badge with guaranteed entrance to all shows, parties, and happy hours throughout the week.

Noise Pop hosts free Happy Hour shows from 5-8 pm during Noise Pop week at Bender’s, Tuesday, February 24 – Saturday, February 28, 2026. > Free with RSVP
