When the last annual Noise Pop festival wrapped up in February 2020, it seemed like a beginning of a great year of music in the Bay. Of course, that just wasn’t the case. Fast-forward (or more appropriately, slow crawl) to 2022, and the Noise Pop festival is finally back. Headlined by acts like Azealia Banks, Jeff Tweedy, and The Drums, the festival features a slew of great shows during the week of February 21-27 in venues across the Bay, from San Francisco to Oakland to Berkeley.
Some highlights for shows each night:
Monday February 21: Jeff Tweedy @ The Fillmore
Tuesday February 22: Arooj Aftab @ Gray Area
Wednesday February 23: The Drums (performing Portamento) @ August Hall
Thursday February 24: Alex G @ August Hall
Friday February 25: King Woman @ DNA Lounge
Saturday February 26: Papercuts @ Bottom of the Hill
Sunday February 27: Azealia Banks @ The Warfield
