Legendary band announces second date for Scottish show following huge demand

NILE Rodgers has added a second date in Glasgow following tickets selling out for the first show. 

The legendary musician and his band, CHIC, will perform at the Barrowland Ballroom on Wednesday, August 13 2025.

This comes in addition to their previously announced show at the same venue on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.

Tickets for the new date will go on sale on Friday, February 28, at 10am, with a pre-sale starting on Wednesday, February 26, at 10am.

Nile Rodgers, a co-founder of CHIC, is renowned for his Grammy-winning compositions, production work, and guitar performances.

He is the mastermind behind chart-toppers like Le Freak, the biggest-selling single in Atlantic Records' history, and Good Times, which helped to spark the advent of hip-hop.

Rodgers' (below) influence spans various music styles and generations, earning him spots in both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

He is currently the first-ever Chief Creative Advisor for Abbey Road Studios, hosts Apple Music 1’s Deep Hidden Meaning Radio with Nile Rodgers and has been the Co-founder and Chairman of the We Are Family Foundation since 2002.

His live performances with CHIC have been recognised as "festival best performances" at both Glastonbury and Coachella, leading to a BBC Music Awards nomination for "Best Live Performance."

The Los Angeles Times highlighted his influence at Coachella, noting that his impact "stretches all over Coachella, beaming the sound of a better future."

Rodgers' work with the CHIC Organisation and his productions for artists such as David Bowie, Diana Ross, and Madonna have resulted in the sale of over 500 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide.
