The Grammy award-winning composer and guitarist is returning to the racecourse on June 8 after thrilling fans with his disco hits last year.

Chic, which was co-founded by Nile and bassist Bernard Edwards in 1976, has released chart-topping hits including Le Freak, Good Times and I Want Your Love.

Nile's productions for other artists like Diana Ross' I'm Coming Out, David Bowie's Let's Dance and Madonna's Like a Virgin have sold over 300 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide.

In recent years, he has proved he is still top of his game with innovative collaborations with the likes of Daft Punk on Get Lucky, which was named the Record of the Year at the 2014 Grammy Awards, and Give Me Your Love with Sigala and John Newman.

With more than 200 production credits to his name, expect to hear some of the best-known pop anthems from the last four decades.

Amy Starkey, Regional Director East of Jockey Club Racecourses, said; 'Nile Rodgers and Chic were one of our most popular acts, so we are delighted to be welcoming them back to our Summer Saturday Live event this year.

'Remember to pack your dancing shoes, this is a performance you won't want to miss!'
