Considered one of the greatest live bands, CHIC’s sound is undoubtedly defined by the rhythm guitar and musicianship of Nile Rodgers, resulting in some of the biggest dance singles of all time including 'Get Lucky', 'Let's Dance’, 'Good Times', and 'Le Freak’ (which was recently inducted into the 2015 Grammy Hall of Fame). Rodgers created the template for funk, dance and even hip hop and has collaborated with some of the world’s biggest stars including Madonna, David Bowie and Duran Duran, and more recently Daft Punk - with whom he picked up three Grammy Awards in 2014, Pharrell Williams, Avicii and Disclosure. CHIC featuring Nile Rodgers is also confirmed to support Kylie Minogue at British Summer Time Hyde Park on June 21st, with CHIC’s first new studio album in 23 years expected later this year.
