The legendary Nile Rodgers & CHIC have been announced for a spectacular open air concert on Saturday 1st July 2023 at Broadlands, the mid-Georgian estate situated in picturesque parkland by the River Test near Romsey in Hampshire.
Nile Rodgers is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and a multiple Grammy Award winning songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist.
As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like "Le Freak”, the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records, and sparked the advent of hip-hop with "Good Times."
His work in the CHIC Organization including “We Are Family” with Sister Sledge and “I’m Coming Out” with Diana Ross and his productions for artists like David Bowie (“Let’s Dance”), Madonna (“Like A Virgin”) and Duran Duran (“The Reflex”) have sold over 500 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Daddy Yankee and Beyoncé reflect the vanguard of contemporary hits.
On Nile Rodgers & CHIC performing at Broadlands, Countess Mountbatten of Burma, owner of Broadlands Estate said:
“We are delighted that Senbla are bringing events of this calibre to Broadlands. This will be a show for the whole county to get involved in, as well as being a big boost to local businesses, and a magical evening of live music.”
