Disco music is coming to Paris in 2026! Nile Rodgers & Chic have announced an exclusive concert scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, 2026, at the Zénith de la Villette. As a reminder, the American guitarist, songwriter, and music producer had already played this venue in the 19th arrondissement in June 2024. Due to high demand, a second date was added at La Seine Musicale. So there's no doubt that this new Paris concert by Nile Rodgers & Chic at Le Zénith isalso likelyto sell out very quickly. A word of advice: don't miss the ticket office opening. Gérard Drouot Productions has announced that presales will begin on November 17 at 10 a.m. General sales will begin on November 19 at 10 a.m.
A quick reminder for younger readers... In 1976, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards founded The CHIC Organization LTD, which quickly became the biggest hit factory since Motown. Among their biggest hits? " Good Times " and the legendary and unforgettable single " Le Freak " for CHIC, as well as " We Are Family"for Sister Sledge, " Upside Down"and " I'm Coming Out"for Diana Ross...
CHIC has recorded a total of nine albums, the latest of which is"It's About Time," and is one of the most sampled artists in the world. With the demise of disco, Nile Rodgers became the biggest pop producer of the 1980s. He produced David Bowie's "Let's Dance" and Madonna's"Like A Virgin" in quick succession.
The biggest artists called on him for his talent as a producer and guitarist (Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, Claude Nougaro, Michael Jackson, etc.). Not to mention, of course, his memorable collaboration with Daft Punk on " Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams.
As proof of his fame, Nile Rodgers has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and has won several Grammy Awards.
On June 30, 2026, Nile Rodgers & Chic will return to the Zénith in Paris with a show that promises to be ultra-danceable.
