• 30th Jan 2019

Historic Royal Palaces and IMG are thrilled to announce that the next headliners for Hampton Court Palace Festival 2019 are Nile Rodgers & Chic, Caro Emerald and Jools Holland. Tickets for these shows will go on general sale at 10am this Friday 1 February. Tickets can be purchased from www.hamptoncourtpalacefestival.com.

The quite simply iconic Nile Rodgers & Chic will make their Hampton Court Palace Festival debut on 14 June. Attendees will be able to see the band perform all of their incredible hit songs including Le Freak and Everybody Dance, as well as songs from their recently released album ‘Till The World Falls’ – the band’s first new album in 25 years.

The Dutch songstress Caro Emerald will return to Hampton Court Palace on 12 June, having previously performed at the festival in 2012 and 2016. Festival goers can expect Caro and her band, the Gradmono Orchestra, to play some of her biggest hits including Liquid Lunch and That Man, as well as material from her recently released ‘Emerald Island’ EP.

Festival favourite Jools Holland also returns to the stunning Tudor courtyard, Base Court, and will perform on 6 June. Having just released his new collaborative album with Marc Almond, ‘A Lovely Life To Live’, attendees can expect stellar boogie-woogie and blues classics performed by music maestro Jools and his infamous Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

Already announced to perform at Hampton Court Palace Festival are new-wave legends Tears For Fears and pop royalty The Jacksons, with general and VIP tickets for their concerts already on-sale now. Kylie Minogue is also set to perform in the palace courtyard but only VIP and corporate packages are available to purchase for her concerts as general tickets sold out in record time.

Now in its 27th year, Hampton Court Palace Festival is a series of truly special and unique open-air concerts. Artists perform in a 3,000-seat auditorium in Base Court, set against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s magnificent Tudor Palace. Attendees will arrive at the sumptuous Palace Gardens to enjoy a spot of picnicking. This year, the festival’s picnics will be provided by Fortnum & Mason for the very first time. Crafted with the very best seasonal ingredients fresh from Fortnum’s famous Food Halls, and packed with summer-ready tipples, four picnic options will be available for guests to enjoy. Picnics will be available to pre-order from this Friday when purchasing tickets to the festival.

The festival also offers the perfect opportunity to celebrate special occasions in a prestigious setting, with champagne available to purchase from the festival’s Champagne Partner, Champagne PIAFF. Exclusive dining and corporate entertainment packages in the Palace’s magnificent state apartments are also available, ensuring a truly unforgettable experience.
