Sunday’s Castle Stage headliner has been announced as the iconic Nile Rodgers with his band Chic. Nile has written, produced, and performed on albums that have sold more than 500 million units worldwide including huge hits Good Times, Everybody Dance and Le Freak. He has also worked with a staggering list of music legends, including Michael Jackson, Madonna, David Bowie, Diana Ross, Prince, Mick Jagger, and Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams on hit single Get Lucky. Nile Rodgers and Chic have a rightful reputation for jaw-droppingly amazing live performances – truly an unmissable moment at this year’s festival.
Punk-folk singer-songwriter Frank Turner will take to the stage on Saturday at Victorious with his impressive eight album catalogue filled with classic singalongs, while Lancashire’s Lottery Winners will bring their upbeat brand of indie pop to Victorious on Friday. With a feted debut album and a string of popular singles under their belt, the band recently took on a sea shanty cover of Nickelback’s Rockstar. Nickelback spotted the cover and added their own vocals to the mix, with the crossover version amassing over 1.7 million views on Nickelback’s official Tik Tok page. Jade Bird is another welcome addition to the line-up with Rolling Stone calling her work ‘a young Londoner’s spin on modern Americana’ – she also received a nomination in 2020 for NME awards ‘Best New Act In The World’.
