FRIDAY 11TH AUGUST 2023 – HAYDOCK PARK RACECOURSE
After their showstopping, sold-out headline concert at Aintree Racecourse last summer, The Jockey Club Live are delighted to welcome the legendary NILE RODGERS & CHIC back to Haydock Park Racecourse on Friday 11thAugust for a night of funk, pop and all things disco. Nile Rodgers is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and a multiple Grammy Award winning songwriter, composer, producer, arranger and guitarist. As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like "Le Freak”, the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records, and sparked the advent of hip-hop with "Good Times." His work in the CHIC Organization including “We Are Family” with Sister Sledge and “I’m Coming Out” with Diana Ross and his productions for artists like David Bowie (“Let’s Dance”), Madonna (“Like A Virgin”) and Duran Duran (“The Reflex”) have sold over 500 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Daddy Yankee and Beyoncé reflect the vanguard of contemporary hits. Molly Dingwall, General Manager, Haydock Park Racecourse said “Nile Rodgers & CHIC put on the most incredible live show – their catalogue of unrivalled hits saw that Aintree Racecourse were all on their feet and dancing last summer. Due to phenomenal demand, we had to bring them back to Merseyside!” Nile Rodgers said "I’m so excited to come and see all our friends in the North West on Friday 11th August. Aintree last summer was a real highlight for us all so we can’t wait to continue the Good Times at Haydock Park!” The Jockey Club Live events continue to be renowned for combining an electric evening at the races with a spectacular evening concert in an informal and relaxed open-air setting.
