How does Noise Pop Festival work?

Noise Pop Festival is a 10-day-long, multi-venue festival across San Francisco. Badges guarantee entrance to all shows, parties and happy hours throughout the week.

How do I receive my badge?

There will be badge pickup locations for you to get your badge before the festival starts. Badge pickup dates and locations TBD.

What if I only want to go to one of the shows?

Don't want to go to 10+ shows in one week? We get it, you’re not psycho like the rest of us.. You can still participate in Noise Pop Fest by purchasing tickets to individual shows. See the full schedule on our homepage.

What happens when a show sells out?

One of the biggest perks of Noise Pop Festival Badges is they give you access to all shows, regardless of if they are sold out or not! While GA Badge holders must arrive at a specified time to have guaranteed entry to sold out shows, Super Fan Badge holders are allowed entry at any time, regardless of when they show up.

What are the participating Noise Pop Festival venues?

The participating Noise Pop Festival 2026 venues are: Rickshaw Stop, Great American Music Hall, Gray Area, August Hall, Bottom of the Hill, Kilowatt, SF Jazz, Swedish American Hall, Cafe Du Nord, UC Theatre, and more venue announces coming soon!

Is my badge transferable?

No, Noise Pop Festival Badges are non-transferrable and may only be used by the original Badge purchaser.

How do I find out when set times are?

Set times and full lineups will be posted closer to the event.

What is your refund policy?

There are no refunds allowed for Noise Pop Festival Badges or tickets.
