Chic's Nile Rodgers has announced the inaugural London edition of his Fold Festival, set to take place at Fulham Palace in South London from June 24 to 26. Chic will play all three nights.

Other acts set to take the stage include Alison Moyet, John Newman and Angie Stone.

"I came up with this concept a few years ago in Montreux," Nile says.

"They wanted to honour me for my body of work and also the amount of times I had played the jazz festival and I felt uncomfortable because typically when people honour you for things like that it's the end of your career and I'm still going! I knew that I had Daft Punk coming out and Avicii, I had all of this stuff coming out.

It's not the end of my career I hope! So I said 'how about this, instead of you guys honouring me, why don't I honour the music that got me here'. So we did 11 continuous hours of dance music. It was amazing.

I had everyone from Grace Jones to Taylor Dayne to Alison Moyet, Mark Ronson, Felix Da Housecat, it was an amazing show, really incredible.

What I was trying to show them was that seemingly disparate artists not only work well together, they work extremely well together. It makes us all bring our A game and it's cool."

Other acts set for the fest include the Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey, Emin,Grace and Incognito.
