Nile Rodgers and Chic gearing up for Southampton performance

Nile Rodgers and Chic are gearing up to perform in Southampton this weekend.

The rock and roll hall of famer will be playing to a packed-out crowd in Guildhall Square as part of the Southampton Summer Sessions taking place this month.

For more than 50 years Nile Rodgers has sung, written, and produced an eye-watering number of hit songs including the likes of Le Freak, Everybody Dance, and Good Times.

Having co-founded Chic and worked with the likes of David Bowie and Madonna, the six-time Grammy Award winner is sure to delight fans with his diverse setlist in the Southampton sunshine.

Fellow singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor is also set to make an appearance as a special guest – who’s best known for her enduring top 10 single, Murder on the Dancefloor.

Nile Rodgers and Chic headline Southampton’s Summer Sessions a week after Tom Jones and Madness played sold-out concerts in the city.

Next week, Placebo, Paloma Faith and the Kaiser Chiefs will all take to the stage in Guildhall Square.
