Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Groove Armada (DJ set), SOPHIE GREY., SISTRA, Harrison, Wendy Bevan, and Sam Scherdel are joining the legendary Scissor Sisters as support acts for Duran Duran at BST Hyde Park this summer 🌞. We can’t even handle the excitement! 🤩
Duran Duran, who recently dropped their new single “Free To Love” (feat. Nile Rodgers, because why not? 🤷♀️), will be headlining London’s BST Hyde Park for the second time on Sunday, July 5th. And honestly, we’re not sure if the park can handle that much awesomeness in one day 🌳.
Nile Rodgers & CHIC are still one of the most electrifying live acts out there, and their performances are like a big ol’ party 🎉. They’re the masterminds behind iconic hits like “Le Freak” and “Good Times,” which basically gave birth to hip-hop 🤯. And let’s not forget their collaborations with David Bowie, Madonna, and Daft Punk – over 500 million albums and 75 million singles sold worldwide, NBD 🤑.
Groove Armada, on the other hand, has been following their own musical path for over three decades, evolving from London’s underground club scene into one of the UK’s most influential electronic music acts 🇬🇧. They’ve got a legacy built on innovation, longevity, and quality dance music, and we can’t wait to get our groove on 💃.
Now, let’s talk about the rest of the lineup, because it’s just as impressive 🤯. SOPHIE GREY. is a classically-trained pianist and keyboardist who’s worked with legendary producer Trevor Horn 🎹. SISTRA is a London-based sister duo making emotional electronic music that’s been supported by BBC Radio 1 and Spotify playlists 📻. Harrison is a UK producer, vocalist, and DJ who’s blending electronic precision with emotional pop intensity, and his sound is taking over the world 🌎. Wendy Bevan is a British multidisciplinary artist, musician, photographer, and filmmaker known for her cinematic, ethereal aesthetic 🌌. And Sam Scherdel is a soulful songwriter who’s been penning music since his early teens, with hook-laden, epic, and energetic songs that’ll get you singing along 🎤.
And, of course, we have the Scissor Sisters, who are returning with their signature mix of chaos and glam, still unstoppable and forever filthy/gorgeous 💁♀️. It’s been two decades since they kicked down the door to redefine pop music with genre-bending hits like “Take Your Mama,” “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’,” and “Let’s Have A Kiki” 🎉.
So, what are you waiting for? Get your tickets now and join the party of the summer 🎟️! And don’t forget to subscribe to Classic Pop magazine for all the latest news and updates on the music world 📰. 🎉🎶
