Hampton Court Palace Festival today announces that the legendary Nile Rodgers & Chic will perform at its 2026 edition. Taking to the stage in the grounds of the stunning Tudor Palace on Wednesday 17 June, they join an already packed line-up featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor, David Gray, OMD and Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics. Tickets will be available via pre-sale from Thursday 4 December, with general sale opening on Friday 5 December at hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com
Following a sensational sell-out concert in 2024, Nile Rodgers & CHIC return for a non-stop dance party like no other. Celebrated worldwide, Rodgers is credited with pioneering a musical language all of his own that produced hits such as ‘Le Freak’ and ‘Good Times’. As a multiple award-winning songwriter, composer, producer, arranger and guitarist, his legacy is unmatched; and having collaborated with some of the biggest names in music he has sold more than 750 million albums globally.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, BRIT-nominated David Gray, synth-pop pioneers OMD and the ever-electric Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics will also take to the stage during the 2026 programme.
Throughout the festival, the iconic Tudor Palace will open its gates ‘after-hours’, for audiences to enjoy the beautiful East Front Gardens before the nightly concerts begin in the atmospheric, intimate setting of the historic Base Court. To elevate the experience festival goers can pre-order a luxury picnic hamper to be shared ahead of the performance.
Now in its 31st year, Hampton Court Palace Festival is a highlight of the summer calendar, showcasing a series of phenomenal performances in a truly one-of-a-kind location. Produced in partnership with Historic Royal Palaces, the independent charity that cares for Hampton Court Palace, the concert series unfolds against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s grand palace within a vast Tudor Courtyard. With capacity capped at just 3,000, the festival offers an unmissable opportunity to see legendary artists in an intimate setting like no other. Further exciting artist announcements will follow.
