Depois de recompostos da passagem de ano o Neopop Festival entra em 2019 a pés juntos, fazendo-se acompanhar por um dos mais respeitados astros do firmamento da electrónica mundial, o francês Laurent Garnier.

"By the time I was ten years old my bedroom looked like a nightclub. There were strobes, multi-coloured flashing lights, a disco ball, a DJ booth and a dance floor. When I switched on my equipment hundreds of tiny white lights would flit across my bedroom ceiling and walls. I switched on my disco ball every night. I only dreamt of one thing: making people dance."
Laurent Garnier em "Electrochoc" por Laurent Garnier e David Brun-Lambert (Flammarion, Rocket 88 publishing)
Poucos são os nomes que ao longo de 30 anos de carreira conseguem permanecer nos lugares cimeiros do reconhecimento e admiração generalizada como Laurent Garnier. O fundador da F Communications, editora que lhe tem servido de base operacional até aos dias de hoje, alcança esse feito fiel aos seus principios de sempre, explorando as sonoridades antepassadas e mantendo-se atento às mais recentes tendências, nunca renunciando à experimentação e aos riscos inerentes.
Foi assim na explosão da cena acid house, assumindo o controle da cabine do mítico Hacienda, ou na forma como agitou a noite parisiense com as sessões itinerantes "Wake Up", contribuindo de forma decisiva para a explosão da música de dança nos inicio dos anos 90.
A mestria invulgar como cruza géneros, empolgando públicos e surpreendendo a cada actuação, fazem de Laurent Garnier um daqueles artistas intemporais que nunca deixamos de seguir. E que melhor forma de dar inicio a uma nova temporada de que com uma companhia assim!?

This historic monument, which dates from 1888, is classified by UNESCO as Cultural and Architectural Heritage of Humanity and by IGESPAR as Building of Public Interest, was thus returned to the city as an example of regeneration and architectural preservation. The 1st place of the National Award for Creative Industries, in 2009, the Declaration of Cultural Interest by Ministry of Culture and, above all, the praise of the public, arise as recognition of its value.
