For music fans who can't wait for Coachella, Outside Lands and the numerous other music festivals coming up this year, San Francisco's Noise Pop Festival is back this week with a lineup featuring exciting emerging artists and veteran indie acts at venues throughout the city. Highlights this year include upstart producer Porter Robinson, Houston rockers Young Mammals and electro-pop darling Grimes, among many others. Be sure to check out our Guide for Food and Drink Options near festival venues. Away from Noise Pop festivities, the party starts early today with a Mardi Gras Parade that finishes at Brick & Mortar Music Hall. DJ Krush celebrates 20 years in the business with a showcase at Mezzanine and 52 Man Pick Up brings steamy storytelling about "sex and the city that never sleeps...with the same person twice." Stay nourished with Oyster and Wine Night at Dottie's and purify yourself in the crisp waters of the San Francisco Bay at the Polar Plunge benefit.

Weekly Giveaway: What instrument(s) has DJ Krush been known to have on stage for his live preformances? Email us the name of one of the insturments for a chance to win tickets to see him live at Mezzanine this Saturday - presented by blasthaus.
