Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Join Noise Pop 2024 Lineup

Update, Jan. 23, 2024:

For the third and final phase of its lineup, Noise Pop announced that Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will headline the festival on March 1 at the Curran Theatre. Typically a venue for Broadway plays, it offers a lavish setting for a concert celebrating the legendary hip-hop group’s 30th anniversary. Other lineup additions include Italian electronic musician DJ Tennis, The Knife’s Olof Dreijer and more, bringing the grand total of performances to over 100 acts at 15 venues across the Bay Area.

Update, Dec. 12, 2023:

Noise Pop announced the second phase of its lineup today. On Feb. 24, Suzanne Ciani, a barrier-breaking, veteran electronic musician, performs at Grace Cathedral. Another prominent composer, Emile Mosseri — who scored lauded films such as The Last Black Man of San Francisco and Minari — performs Feb. 28 at Swedish American Hall. On Feb. 29, the same venue hosts poet and community organizer Aja Monet, whose stirring, liberation-oriented writing is a balm for a world on fire. (Noise Pop will be her San Francisco debut.)

Jazz singer Louis Cole takes the stage at August Hall on Feb. 28, rising, high-energy pop-rock trio Dehd perform at Great American Music Hall on Feb. 29, and Jacques Greene goes b2b (back to back) with Nosaj Thing at a Gray Area dance party on March 2. The full lineup can be found here, and more acts will be announced.

Original story, Nov. 9, 2023:

Long-running, homegrown music festival Noise Pop just announced the first phase of its 2024 lineup, with downcast indie singer-songwriter Snail Mail, high-energy post-punks Cherry Glazerr and John Darnielle of OG indie folk band the Mountain Goats topping the bill.

The festival takes place Feb. 22–March 3, 2024 in venues across the Bay Area, including San Francisco’s picturesque Grace Cathedral (where the Mountain Goats will perform on March 1), Great American Music Hall (where Snail Mail takes the stage on March 1 and 2) and August Hall (where Cherry Glazerr play on Feb. 29).

Other lineup highlights include Francophone indie R&B singer Shay Lia at Rickshaw Stop on March 1, powerhouse soul vocalist Kendra Morris at Bottom of the Hill on March 2, jazz-funk Ethiopian accordionist and keyboard player Hailu Mergia on March 3 at Great American Music Hall and rising Berlin-based dance music producer Sofia Kourtesis at 1015 Folsom on Feb. 29.

As always, the beauty of Noise Pop is that show-goers can hop around to multiple shows in a night, and pick and choose their own schedules. And with concerts taking place in various San Francisco neighborhoods, as well as across the bridge in Oakland and Berkeley, it’s an opportunity to celebrate so much of what Bay Area culture has to offer.

Noise Pop festival badges are on sale now and tickets to individual shows will be available starting Nov. 10. For the complete lineup and schedule, visit Noise Pop’s website.
