Chaka Khan has been announced as a headliner for Nocturne Live 2024, which coincides with the celebration of her 70th birthday and her 50th year in music.
The legendary singer will perform at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire on Thursday 13th June alongside disco legends Sister Sledge and party-starting funk group The Fatback Band. Khan, Sister Sledge and The Fatback Band join Crowded House, Sheryl Crow and Turin Brakes on the line-up for the first two dates announced for Nocturne Live 2024, which returns next summer from 12th – 16th June 2024.
For over five decades, Khan has remained one of music’s most influential voices. Alongside releasing 23 albums and enjoying a string of hits including ‘Ain’t Nobody’, ‘I’m Every Woman’, ‘I Feel For You’ and ‘Tell Me Something Good’, Khan has collaborated with the likes of Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and Mary J. Blige, and was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.
Nocturne Live transforms Blenheim Palace’s Great Court into a spectacular 10,000-capacity open-air concert venue and since its inception in 2015 has gone on to become one of the UK’s most popular stately home concert experiences. Over the years the series has presented shows from a host of huge international stars including the likes of Lionel Ritchie, Elton John, Kylie Minogue, Nile Rodgers, Lauryn Hill, Noel Gallagher, Gregory Porter, Van Morrison, Tears for Fears, Gladys Knight, Elvis Costello, Simple Minds and Ennio Morricone amongst many others.
