There are also happy hour events on the schedule that are free and open to the public, which will be a great time for San Francisco residents to come and explore Noise Pop's new home at the Swedish American Hall. And stay tuned for the announcement of the special guest who will be performing at the Opening Night Party on February 23.
A stellar lineup of film screenings, each with their own unique musical component, is on tap for the Swedish, beginning with a live scoring of Fritz Lang's sci-fi epic Metropolis by Chrome Canyon.
