The Portuguese festival is set to stage its 14th edition at the coastal town of Viana do Castelo, on 9-11 August.

Newly announced for the line-up is French electronica maestro St Germain, aka Ludovica Navarre, an influential figure in establishing the French Touch movement in the latter half of the 90s. Best known for his seminal album Tourist released in 2000, his last full-length was 2015’s self-titled album.

He joins previously announced acts Jeff Mills, Ben Klock and Paula Temple.

At last year’s edition of Neopop, at Crack, we noted that for techno enthusiasts, the event may be the “best festival you’ve never heard of”.
