It’s that time again, when San Francisco culture fest Noise Pop turns up the amps and invites a slew of artists to the stage for several days of celebrating all that’s indie.

In addition to band performances, the 15th edition will include the Noise Pop Expo, a program of panels, discussions, poster sales ,and the illustrious indie trunk show, all taking place at the Swedish American Hall. Art shows and literary events have also been added to the mix, making this year both a celebration of the past and a leap into the future.

Nose Pop badges are on sale now. A limited number of these are available and grant access to all shows and events happening during the festival. These babies go quick, though, so buy now. Regular tickets to individual shows go on sale tomorrow, December 15, 2006.
