“We are really excited to be bringing some CHIC ‘magic’ to the Nocturne concert series at Blenheim Palace this summer,” said Nile Rodgers. “Don’t forget your dancing shoes and be prepared to ‘Ahh…Freak Out’! See you there!”
Nocturne Live Director Ciro Romano added: “We’re confident that the line-up for this year’s Nocturne is our strongest to date.
