Performance Details:
- All genres and creative expressions welcome!
- Live sets are typically 30-40 minutes each. DJ sets are typically 60-90 minutes each.
- Sound equipment (microphones, PA's, monitors) will be supplied.
- Artists must provide their own backline. (DJs will be provided with in-house turntables, CDJs, and mixers.)
- Radius Clause: All performers at Noise Pop Festival will be asked to refrain from booking other Bay Area shows 30 days before, and 14 days after the festival. Don't worry, this isn't a dealbreaker for us. Our booking team will happily discuss exceptions and work with you.

 As there is no deadline for submissions, we recommend submitting early to ensure consideration in this year's festival.

Do you perform solo? with a four-piece band or perhaps a 12-piece string ensemble?? Maybe your performance has an amazing visual element to complement the music?
