Bristol Beacon - Announce two huge shows for Bristol Harbourside

Nile Rodgers and Chic and Belle and Sebastian to brighten Bristol’s harbourside this summer

Music legends, Nile Rodgers and Chic, will be appearing for two consecutive nights on Wednesday 13th and Thursday 14th of July at The Amphitheatre, Bristol Harbourside, with Indie-Pop icons Belle and Sebastian rounding off the three-day musical event, presented by Bristol Beacon, on Friday 15 July 2022

Since co-founding Chic in 1976, Rodgers has built an unrivalled back catalogue of hits and reshaped the music scene with smash hits like ‘Dance, Dance, Dance’, ‘Good Times’ and ‘Le Freak’. Renowned the world over Nile Rodgers and Chic are quite simply the ultimate party band. 

Belle and Sebastian (Pictured Above)

2022 marks twenty six years since Belle and Sebastian released their debut album Tigermilk sparking a cult-like following around the world. They also returned earlier this month with a brand new album ‘A Bit of Previous’. Their uplifting tunes and slightly quirky look at life should really get the party going on the Friday night.

Belle and Sebastian will be joined by very special guests, Indie / Electronic quartet, Django Django for a high energy evening worthy of the spectacular backdrop of Bristol’s harbour. Specials guests Django Django will also be celebrating a new album - a ten year re-release of their self-titled debut, which is out at the end of May.

This will be the fifth year Bristol Beacon has programmed at Bristol’s Harbourside Amphitheatre, following sell-out performances from Goldie and the Heritage Orchestra in 2015, Outlook Orchestra in 2017, Jimmy Cliff and Grandmaster Flash in 2018, and concerts from New Order and The Specials in 2019.
