Nile Rodgers confirmed for Hampton Court Palace Festival 2026
Nile Rodgers and Chic are returning to Hampton Court Palace Festival next summer.
Nile Rodgers and Chic have been announced for the Hampton Court Palace Festival in 2026.
The legendary group - known for hits like Le Freak and Good Times - will grace the stage on the grounds of the Tudor Palace next summer as part of a stacked schedule featuring the likes of Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
After a sell-out show in 2024, Rodgers and his band are returning for what organisers have described as "a non-stop dance party like no other".
He will be performing on June 17 as part of a stacked summer lineup of top artists.
Tickets will be available via pre-sale from Thursday (04.12.25), with general sale opening on Friday, December 5. Find out how to nab yours here.
David Gray has been confirmed for a double header on June 10 and 11, before legendary electronic band OMD perform on June 12.
The following night, Pete Tong's Ibiza Classics takes centre stage, and on June 19, Murder On the Dancefloor singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor will be performing.
The summer series - which is in its 31st year - sees the Tudor grounds become an intimate concert venue, with just 3,000 people in attendance for each show.
There are several other headliners left to announce, with previous performers including the likes of Tom Jones, Lionel Richie, Tracy Chapman, Crowded House and Sir Elton John.
The Hampton Court Palace date is part of a run of outdoor shows next summer for Rodgers, which includes a perform at Forest Live, a headlining gig at Salt and Tar Music Weekender, plus dates at Dreamland in Margate and Scarborough Open Air Theatre.
