The Big Pop Show returns in 2026! Over four days, bands from all over will congregate in the Triangle at the Cat’s Cradle, the Pinhook, Duke Coffeehouse, and the Carrboro Arts Center. The festival will host discussion panels that interrogate ethical ways of engaging with art and sustaining the local communities involved in its creation.
The festival is fully volunteer-run and sponsored by local organizations. All ticket revenue goes to supporting the artists involved with the goal of bolstering the communities they come from.
