Borde Hill Summer Series Presents: Nile Rodgers & CHIC

Borde Hill Summer Series Presents:

Nile Rodgers & CHIC

With Special Guests The Brand New Heavies, Craig Charles and more

Nile Rodgers & CHIC bring their legendary, era-defining live show to our stunning Parkland at Borde Hill on Thursday 13th August, headlining a huge open-air summer event in one of the South East’s most stunning outdoor settings. With gates opening from 4.00pm, fans can expect a full evening of music stacked with a legendary lineup and topped off by one of the greatest hitmakers in modern music history. 

A true musical icon, Nile Rodgers is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, and one of the most influential producers, composers and guitarists of all time.

As co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers helped shape the sound of pop, disco and dance music with era-defining classics including Le Freak – the biggest selling single in Atlantic Records’ history, and Good Times, a track that laid the foundations for hip-hop and continues to be sampled and celebrated worldwide.

Beyond CHIC, Rodgers’ unmistakable groove has powered global hits for David Bowie (Let’s Dance), Madonna (Like a Virgin), Diana Ross (I’m Coming Out), Sister Sledge (We Are Family), Duran Duran (The Reflex), Daft Punk (Get Lucky), and more recently Beyoncé (Cuff It). His work has contributed to the sale of over 500 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide, cementing his legacy as one of the most successful collaborators in music history.
