Providence Popfest is an intimate all-day celebration of indie pop and related genres held annually at AS220 in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The 2026 edition takes place on May 2, running from noon through 11 PM, offering a full day of continuous performances across the indie pop landscape. The festival was curated with intentionality around sonic diversity and representation, featuring artists who span jangle pop, post-punk, and indie pop variations. The 2026 lineup includes established acts like Mirah, The Softies, and Galore alongside emerging artists such as Sun Urchins, Anna Altman, Beachplums, Try The Pie, Jeanines, Emotional World, 22º Halo, and Dear Nora. Organizers prioritized perspectives from queer and trans artists and women in the indie pop community. AS220 itself is a Providence institution, a converted warehouse in the heart of the city's arts district that serves as a non-traditional cultural space. The venue's informal character makes it an ideal backdrop for a grassroots festival celebrating independent music. For attendees in their 20s and 30s who appreciate alternative music and underground scenes, Providence Popfest offers an accessible, affordable entry point into a tight-knit community of musicians and fans. Ticket information is available through the AS220 website and Zeffy ticketing platform, with the festival positioned as an inclusive, community-focused event that celebrates artists working outside mainstream industry channels.
