Our final Sunday night headliner in August's CHSq festival is the legendary Nile Rodgers & CHIC - Sunday 31st August 2025.

Nile Rodgers needs little introduction—co-founder of CHIC, he helped define the disco era with timeless classics like “Le Freak”, and his influence rippled into hip-hop with “Good Times”.

More recently, Rodgers has continued to shape contemporary music with collaborations on modern hits like Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky”, Daddy Yankee’s “Agua”, and Beyoncé’s “Cuff It”.

This performance is more than a concert, it’s a living testament to a musical innovator whose influence spans disco, funk, rock, pop, soul, and modern dance.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to the groove, expect a high-energy, feel-good show that spans generations.
