The Brand New Heavies

Nile Rodgers & CHIC at High Lodge, Thetford Forest

About the artist

Since debuting in 1990, The Brand New Heavies have translated their love of sophisticated ‘70s funk grooves into an ever-evolving sound that has ignited dancefloors and inspired fans for over 30 years. Their third album ‘Brother Sister’ changed everything for the band, propelling them to huge success with a #4 chart position, over a million record sales and a BRIT Award nomination. 1997’s ‘Shelter’ saw the group tuck another Top 5 Platinum certification under their belts, with hits like “Sometimes”, “You Are The Universe” and their unique take on “You’ve Got A Friend” cementing their status and pioneers of their genre. The Brand New Heavies’ legacy has continued to grow, with 2023 seeing the band enter a new era marked by the release of ‘Never Stop... The Best Of’. The band also recently completed a sold-out ‘Never Stop... The Greatest Hits’ tour, which saw them accompanied by the London Concert Orchestra.
