Nile Rodgers, the funkified mastermind behind Chic, is proud to announce the first ever Nile Rodgers Dance Party Monday, August 19th. The one day only event will take place at the Martha Clara Vineyards in Riverhead, NY (the Hamptons). The concert has sold out all its cheapest tickets to Riverhead locals, but tickets are still available via the sponsoring charity, aftee.org: HERE

Rodgers, the co-writer of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” wrote on his website he is piecing together, “…some of the hottest acts and surprises on the planet that day… which happens to be around the time the next Daft Punk single drops (I’m just saying).” 

With the confirmation of a new Daft Punk single at the end of August, and a possible appearance by the powerhouse duo at the festival, the Nile Rodgers Dance Party’s lineup is still under wraps.  Rodgers has a playlist on his site featuring a playlist with Duran Duran, David Bowie, and Pharrell Williams. Besides showcasing some Chic classics, Rodgers will undoubtedly bring forth some incredible acts of today. Aftee’s website explains how the event hopes to blend together the instrumental dance music of the seventies with some of today’s best DJ’s.
