Denver this week !!

DNF 2026 artist profile:

I’m really excited to be hosting one of North Americas pioneers in Noise Festival curation and organization. Running one of the longest running noise events, Norcal Noisefest, Lob Instagon will make his first performance in Denver CO. Lob has been a huge inspiration to the Denver Noise Fest and many other festivals of this genre. It is an honor to share our stage with him.

Instagon (AZ)

INSTAGON has been a thorn in the experimental noise community since 1993 and has never appeared on stage with the same lineup. Founded by conceptual creative artist LOB, as part of TOPY North America, the project has evolved over 3 decades and has over 100 releases, played over 850 shows, and boasts just as many "members". LOB, beyond being a sound artist, is also a long time event organizer and was responsible for the Norcal Noisefest event from 2005-2023. Instagon appeared at all NCNF events 1995-2023. Instagon continues to push sonic boundaries and shift audio paradigms wherever it goes. Currently the small town of Miami, Arizona is where Lob and Thee Instagon Foundation hail from. This will be Instagon's first appearance in Colorado and is scheduled to be a "mixer set" , featuring numerous players creating a live sound-sculpture in real time.
