From Pitchfork:

The Noise Pop Festival, which takes over venues around San Francisco, tends more toward pop than noise. Next year’s festival is no different. The 18th Noise Pop fest, which which goes down February 23 – March 1, will feature plenty of all-stars. Among the bands participating: the Magnetic Fields, Atlas Sound, Rogue Wave, Four Tet, the Soundtrack of Our Lives, Mark Kozelek, John Vanderslice, Foreign Born, Zee Avi, the Limousines, and We Were Promised Jetpacks.

The festival also includes an music industry mini-conference called Industry Noise, which will feature speakers, panels, discussion groups, and individual mentoring, taking place February 27 at the Swedish American Hall.
