It is announced today that musical legend Nile Rodgers & CHIC will be heading to Brighton this summer, for a huge headline open-air show as part of the Brighton Valley Concert Series. The all-day party and celebration of disco will see an unmissable line-up including Hot Chip, Horse Meat Disco, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy’ and more.

Multiple GRAMMY-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist – Nile Rodgers is a musical legend, constantly traversing new musical terrain and successfully expanding the boundaries of popular music. As the co-founder of CHIC and the Chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like “Le Freak,” (the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records) and sparked the advent of hip-hop with “Good Times”. Nile transcends all styles of music across every generation with a body of work that’s garnered him inductions into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

His unforgettable live performances with CHIC have been included in “festival best performances” at both Glastonbury and Coachella resulting in a BBC Music Awards nomination for “Best Live Performance”, and the LA Times stating, “Nile Rodgers influence stretches all over Coachella, beaming the sound of a better future”. This summer, Nile will be in Brighton for what’s sure to be the party of the summer.
