This Thursday, the 33rd edition of Noise Pop festival will be taking over San Francisco, with an array of artists playing venues across the city through the end of the month. Wisp, clipping., Tortoise, and a Stephen Malkmus solo set are just a few of the event’s biggest draws, with dozens more filling out the poster for Noise Pop’s 2026 festivities.
Before the fest kicks off, the event’s co-founders Kevin Arnold and Jordan Kurland will be taking over FLOOD FM this week with a radio special spotlighting a few of Noise Pop 2026’s biggest highlights, including the aforementioned headliners, illuminati hotties, Pinback, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and more. Arnold and Kurland will also be sharing stories about the festival’s long history between songs when the episode airs every day this week (February 17 – 20) at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 5 p.m., and 10 p.m.
Tune in on FLOOD FM. You can also check out the full slate of artists or grab tickets for Noise Pop 2026 here.
