Having been due to appear at the Kingham festival this summer, which was then cancelled due to the pandemic, the headline acts of Nile Rodgers, Sigala and Rag’n’Bone Man will be appearing next year instead.

On Instagram and Twitter this morning the famous soul and disco singer, who graced Blenheim Palace’s Nocturne stage last year, said: “I am thrilled to be performing at The Big Feastival on the August bank holiday 2021 with my band Chic.

Rodgers will be headlining on the Saturday night (Aug 28), with Sigala kicking off on Friday (August 27) and Rag’N’Bone Man closing on Sunday (August 29).
