"We are putting together “the” party of the festive season!"

Nile Rodgers and CHIC have announced that they will round off the year with a massive UK arena tour.

The disco icons will head back to the UK for a string of five shows in support of new album ‘It’s About Time’, which is set for release on September 28.

“I am delighted to announce our first ever ARENA tour of the UK. Christmas is indeed coming and we are putting together “the” party of the festive season!”, Rodgers said.

“The entire night will be programmed by me and in addition to all our hits will include my man MistaJam on the wheels of steel and more guests to be announced in the coming weeks. Come to dance!”

Earlier this year, Nile Rodgers and CHIC released their new single ‘Till The World Falls’ – a star studded collaborative effort featuring Mura Masa and Vic Mensa.

The track was produced by Rodgers and Mura Masa, while also written by Rodgers, Mura Masa, Anderson .Paak, and an extensive list of other collaborators.
