Nile Rodgers & CHIC live after racing
Friday 30 July 2027 at Newmarket Racecourse
Nile Rodgers is one of music's most iconic and enduring forces — a songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist whose work as a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, multiple Grammy Award winner, and unparalleled musical innovator has stretched across generations and cultures.
As co-founder of CHIC alongside legendary bassist Bernard Edwards, they built a musical vocabulary that didn't just top charts — it reshaped genres. Together, they created "Le Freak," the biggest-selling single in Atlantic Records history, and "Good Times," which laid the DNA for hip-hop itself.
Now, Nile Rodgers & CHIC are set to take to the stage at Newmarket Racecourses for a spectacular post-racing concert that promises hit after hit, singalong moments and an unmissable atmosphere from start to finish.
