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.

About the Borde Hill Summer Series

Presented by Supermodified, a brand-new series of large-scale open-air concerts is coming to Borde Hill in August 2026.

Set within our heritage-listed South Park, the brand new Borde Hill Summer Series provides a stunning backdrop for major open-air concerts. Expansive lawns, dramatic vistas and the estate’s timeless heritage combine to create a natural amphitheatre framed by rare trees and sweeping countryside views. This unique setting offers both intimacy and scale, making it an exceptional stage for world-class artists and bands.

Accessibility

We want everyone to enjoy their experience at the Borde Hill Summer Series. Accessible tickets can be purchased through the Accessible Tickets option on Skiddle. There are two main categories available:

  • Platform Access Tickets: for guests who require use of the accessible viewing platform due to mobility needs.
  • Ambulant Access Tickets: for those who do not require platform access but may benefit from step-free entry, accessible toilets, or a companion.

Essential Companion tickets can be added at checkout if required. After booking, Skiddle will carry out a brief eligibility check. Once verified, our team will get in touch nearer the time to confirm any additional support you may need.
