International Noise Conference

An extended, multi-day celebration of experimental sound returns to Little Haiti with performances rooted in noise, improvisation and underground music culture.

International Noise Conference runs Friday, January 30 through Saturday, February 7 at Churchill’s Pub. Founded and organized by Miami artist Rat Bastard, the annual festival has long served as a gathering point for local, national and international artists working at the edges of music and sound performance. Known for its informal structure and ever-shifting lineup, the conference prioritizes live experimentation over conventional concert formats.

Since its beginnings in the early 2000s, the International Noise Conference has maintained a close association with Churchill’s Pub, a longtime hub for Miami’s alternative and experimental music scenes. Past editions have featured dozens of short-format performances spanning noise, drone, improvisation and hybrid sound practices, with schedules and artist details often released close to the event dates.

Lineup announcements and daily updates are expected to be shared through the conference’s social media channels. The event is presented as a grassroots, artist-driven gathering that emphasizes participation and live experience over traditional promotion.
