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.
