GRAMMY winner Nile Rodgers returns to Haydock Park

The American musician, composer and producer, who recently received a GRAMMY 2023 Lifetime Achievement Award, will perform at Haydock Park Racecourse following a “phenomenal demand” for the legend to return to the region.

The CHIC co-founder, widely known for chart-topping ‘Le Freak’ and ‘Good Times’, will take the stage at the racecourse in August following their sold-out concert at Aintree Racecourse last summer.

Molly Dingwall, General Manager of Haydock Park Racecourse said: “Nile Rodgers & CHIC put on the most incredible live show – their catalog of unrivaled hits showed that everyone was up and dancing at Aintree Racecourse last summer.

“Due to phenomenal demand, we had to bring her back to Merseyside.”
