Noise Pop Festival 2014

Now in its 22nd year, Noise Pop is San Francisco's premiere celebration of independent music, film and art since 1993. The festival attracts over 20,000 independent music fans and scores of bands each year to San Francisco. Over 150 alternative bands will play the 2014 edition of Noise Pop - situations vary from opening up for headlining acts to playing other Noise Pop events, and pay varies depending on the situation.

For 2014, Sonicbids has worked with Noise Pop to reserve a minimum of 5 performance slots for Sonicbids artists. All selected artists will be compensated.

The festival will take place in February and March 2014 and will have events in venues around the city (including The Bottom Of The Hill, Bimbo's, and Great American Music Hall). In addition to the music festival, Noise Pop also includes a film festival, gallery art shows, a craft fair and a music industry conference.
