# Event Details

- **Event Name**: ANTIPOP – 20 Years of NEOPOP Festival 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 06 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 at 12:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: 20 anos depois, faz sentido parar, olhar para trás, e lembrar onde tudo começou. Afinal, houve um tempo em que apostar na música eletrónica não era óbvio, e em que tudo surgiu porque alguém decidiu arriscar.
Muita coisa mudou entretanto. Partimos dessa improbabilidade até ao que somos hoje. O techno cresceu, chegou a novos públicos e está presente em vários contextos. Mas a essência raver mantém-se.
Ao longo destes anos, foi sendo construída uma identidade própria, com artistas que marcaram várias edições e que fazem parte da história do Festival. Este ano, muitos desses nomes estão de volta.
Há também uma vontade clara de regressar a esse ponto de partida. Manter uma programação que não segue tendências nem facilita caminhos, com escolhas pensadas ao detalhe.
Nesta edição, e só nesta, o NEOPOP volta a ser ANTIPOP.

*

20 years on, it makes sense to pause, look back, and remember where it all began. There was a time when electronic music wasn’t an obvious choice, when everything started simply because someone decided to take a risk.
A lot has changed since then. We’ve come a long way to what this is today. Techno has grown, reached new audiences, and found its place across different contexts. Still, the raver spirit remains.
Over the years, a distinct identity has taken shape, shaped by artists who have defined multiple editions and become part of the Festival’s story. This year, many of those names return.
There’s also a clear intention to reconnect with that starting point, keeping a programme that doesn’t follow trends or take the easy route, with choices made with care and attention to detail.
For this edition, and this one only, NEOPOP becomes ANTIPOP again.
