NILE Rodgers and CHIC will perform an arena show in Glasgow this Christmas.

The popular funk band, who have played the city's Kelvingrove Park over the last few years, promise all their hits during the show at the SSE Hydro on December 13.

This series of special appearances will mark the end of an amazing year for Rodgers, who was most recently appointed the Chairman of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and The Chief Creative Advisor for the iconic Abbey Road Studios.

As the co-founder of CHIC, Rodgers pioneered a new musical language with chart-topping hits like Le Freak and Everybody Dance, even sparking the advent of hip-hop with Good Times.

His work with CHIC and his production credits with artists like David Bowie, Diana Ross and Madonna has helped sell over 500 million albums and 75 million singles worldwide, while his innovative, trendsetting collaborations with Daft Punk, Avicii, Sigala, Disclosure, and Sam Smith have kept him in the vanguard of contemporary music.

Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday, September 7 priced £51.10 to £85.15 (including admin fee) and will be available from www.thessehydro.com or 0844 395 4000.
