Noise Pop Festival began in 1993 as a "5 bands for 5 dollars show"at the Kennel Club (now the Independent). Tickets were $5 and although it was only one day, it was called the S.F. Noise Pop Festival. It has become a yearly staple for San Francisco and as of 2016 it has expanded to a nine day festival across nearly every major and independent venue in San Francisco.
