NEOPOP FESTIVAL announces its first artists for 2023 edition

Richie Hawtin, Honey Dijon, Charlotte de Wite, Mall Grab, FJAAK, Dax J and Paco Osuną are some of the artists confirmed by NEOPOP Festival for its next edition.

Portugal‘s biggest electronic music festival will once again take place in the wonderful city of Viana do Castelo, and will continue to host the world’s biggest names in techno and electronica.

Having recorded its highest ever attendance figures during its 15th anniversary, NEOPOP is preparing to celebrate its 16th edition on 10, 11 and 12 August.

Over the last few years, NEOPOP Festival has consolidated Viana do Castelo‘s status as the Capital of Techno, putting it on the international map as a cultural destination that fuses tradition and modernity. Since 2005, this city located in the Portuguese region of Minho has hosted a host of internationally renowned artists.

This year, he will welcome Richie Hawtin and his latest project From Our Minds, who will take over the Neo Stage for a whole night, with a line-up designed to his liking and marking his distinctive touch.

Recent Grammy award-winner Honey Dijon will return after her unforgettable set at last year’s anniversary. Also worthy of special mention are the debuts of Charlotte de Witte and Nicole Moudaber, two figures at the forefront of the techno movement, Francesco del Garda and Mall Grab.

FJAAK, Mind Against and Pan-Pot will be the duos that will display their dance music proposals characterised by diversity and lack of limits that move freely between techno and house.

Also part of the line-up will be Chris Liebing, Dax J, Dubfire, Lewis Fautzi, Paco Osuna and Rødhåd who will bring with them the inverse and convincing techno that has always been well received in Viana do Castelo.

Finally, Biia, Rui Vargas and Vil complete this first phase of confirmed artists, as well as the participation of DubLab in charge of the visuals.

In addition to this impressive line-up, NEOPOP Festival also offers the historical, gastronomic and geographical richness of a region endowed with great character, surrounded by mountains and the ocean, with the best beaches and breathtaking landscapes.

More details about the event and the artists that will complete the line-up will be revealed soon. In the meantime, you can get your ticket by clicking here.
