This coming Memorial Day weekend (May 25th – 29th) marks another wonderful line-up with the always original San Francisco Popfest. The great thing about SF Popfest is that every show boasts an impressive and nearly unfamiliar mess of bands from all over the world. The true indie rock fest will be featuring bands from the UK’s C-86 movement, K Records of the Pacific Northwest, SF/DC indie-brainchild Slumberland Records. Even our own Blackbird Blackbird and The Mantles along with rising VA duo, Eternal Summers.
Needless to say, we’re super-psyched to see this locally flavored and truly innovative festival return time after time with genuinely talented line-ups. See you there!
