The legendary Nile Rodgers & CHIC will play a very special show at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on Saturday 30th November as part of the ‘Act 1.5 Presents’ series.
This unique series of live shows which also include dates with Massive Attack and IDLES are being staged to mark that Liverpool is the world’s first ‘UN Accelerator City’ for climate action – an accolade to recognise the project and the city’s commitment to technical innovation and smart regulation to rapidly decarbonise the live music and TV/Film production sectors.
The announcement follows Massive Attack’s ‘Act 1.5’ show in Bristol last month where the band hosted their first large-scale climate action accelerator that sought to completely reimagine how music events can be staged. Building on the methods first trialled in Bristol, and continuing their partnership with clean energy provider Ecotricity, ‘Act 1.5 Presents…’ will test, operate & adapt a range of measures to dramatically reduce the level of carbon emissions and air pollution that would usually be produced at an event of this scale.
Excited to be a part of this new live series in November, Nile Rodgers is a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee and a multiple Grammy Award winning songwriter, composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist. Additionally, he is the Co-Founder and Chairman of We Are Family Foundation.
As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a musical language that generated chart-topping hits like “Le Freak”, the biggest selling single in the history of Atlantic Records, and sparked the advent of hip-hop with “Good Times.”
His work in the CHIC Organization including “We Are Family” with Sister Sledge and “I’m Coming Out” with Diana Ross and his productions for artists like David Bowie (“Let’s Dance”), Madonna (“Like A Virgin”) and Duran Duran (“The Reflex”) have sold over 500 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk (“Get Lucky”), Daddy Yankee (“Agua”), and Beyoncé (“Cuff It”, “Leviis Jeans”) reflect the vanguard of contemporary hits.
In the second block release of tickets, all fans will be able to purchase tickets from 12.00 on Friday 27th September. Offers and incentives on public transport from outside the region – especially rail travel – will be shared with buyers via their ticketing agent.
