Mayor Graham Warke said: "The news today that we will be welcoming Nile Rodgers & Chic back to our city this summer is fantastic. His two gigs to sold-out crowds in 2013 were some of the best concerts we have ever hosted, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. It was one of the highlights of our City of Culture programme, and we are delighted that Nile and his team are coming back this summer.
