Nile Rodgers & Chic add an extra Belfast date

Following a sold out show on Tuesday June 4, funk legend Nile Rodgers and his band Chic are set to return to Belfast's Waterfront Hall for a second night, on Wednesday June 5.

Among music legends, Nile Rodgers is truly exceptional. A multiple Grammy-winning composer, producer, arranger and guitarist, Rodgers is constantly traversing new musical terrain and successfully expanding the boundaries of popular music. As the co-founder of Chic, he generated chart-topping hits like 'Le Freak', sparked the advent of hip-hop with 'Good Times', and won Chic 11 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominations.

Following stellar performances at Malahide Castle, Electric Picnic and the RDS in 2018, Rodgers returns to Ireland for shows in Belfast's Waterfront Hall and St. Anne's Park in Dublin this summer. He will be joined by special guest Kaiser Chiefs in Dublin on the Bank Holiday Sunday, June 2.

Tickets for Rogers' second Belfast gig go on sale this Friday at 9am from ticketmaster.ie, waterfront.co.uk, Ulster Hall Box Office & Ticketmaster outlets nationwide.
