# Chic Out at Empire Rochdale – May 2026
Chic Out brings the legendary grooves of Nile Rodgers and CHIC straight to your weekend with a live band that knows how to deliver all the hits. This is your chance to experience the disco-funk genius that soundtracked generations, from "Le Freak" to "Good Times," without paying a penny – perfect for a Sunday night out in Greater Manchester that won't break the bank.
Empire Rochdale is one of the region's most respected live music venues, sitting right in the heart of Rochdale town centre with excellent transport links and a buzzing atmosphere that locals know well. The venue's got a real reputation for hosting quality tribute and live acts, making it a trusted spot for a proper night out with proper acoustics.
The gig kicks off at 8pm on Sunday 3 May 2026, so it's an 18+ event – get there early if you want a decent spot near the stage. Being free entry, it'll likely draw a decent crowd, so arrive with time to grab a drink and soak up the pre-show vibe. Expect smooth dancing, feel-good energy, and those unmissable Nile Rodgers rhythms that just hit different live.
