Chaka Khan plus special guests Sister Sledge & Fatback Band – Nocturne Live at Blenheim Palace
Music legend and pop culture icon Chaka Khan has been announced as part of a hugely anticipated triple bill for next summer’s Nocturne Live concert series.
The 10-time Grammy winner, who is touring in celebration of both her 70th birthday and 50th year in music, will perform at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire on Thursday June 13th alongside disco legends Sister Sledge and party-starting funk group The Fatback Band.
For over five decades, Chaka Khan has remained one of music’s most influential voices, releasing 23 albums and enjoying a string of hits including Ain’t Nobody, I’m Every Woman, I Feel For You and Tell Me Something Good, and was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Joining Khan in Blenheim Palace’s stunning Great Court will be disco queens Sister Sledge, the multi-million-selling vocal group behind the classic anthems We Are Family, Thinking Of You, He’s The Greatest Dancer and Lost In Music, and funk and soul outfit The Fatback Band who revolutionised the foundations of dance, funk, soul, rap and R&B in the ’70s and ’80s and continue to wow crowds around the world over fifty years after their inception.
Chaka Khan: “I’ve been performing around the world for almost 50 years and the UK remains one of my favourite places to play. The audiences over there really know how to party and I’m sure our concert at Blenheim Palace is going to be a magical occasion.”
