Everything you need to know ahead of Nile Rodger & CHIC at CHSq

Author: Emma DicksonPublished 24th Aug 2021

Funk legend Nile Rodgers returns to Belfast with his legendary band CHIC to headline Custom House Square this evening.

The funk master has chosen two talented local bands to warm up the crowd...no pressure! - The Gold Tips are a powerful nine-piece soul band hailing from Belfast, meanwhile Queen & Disco make the trip from Derry/Londonderry to perform.

Rodgers unique charm 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.

So what can we expect to hear tonight? Nile Rodgers & CHIC recently released their new studio album, “It’s About Time” so we look forward to a few new hits as well as the classics.
