So far Underworld, Kraftwerk and Nile Rodgers & Chic have been announced for the three-day festival. Respectively, they will headline the main stage on July 30th, 31st, and August 1st. Additional headliners will be revealed in the months leading up to the event.

2020 would have marked Playground Festival’s second annual edition, but the pandemic prevented organizers from moving forward with the event as planned. The inaugural 2019 event billed such artists as De La Soul, Hot Chip, DJ Format and Maribou State. Next year the event will return to Rouken Glen Park, which is to the southeast of Glasgow.

Organizers will make a subsequent announcement on November 25th, the day before tickets go on sale for the 2021 gathering. More information is available on the Playground Festival website.

Rodgers told the audience that he learned of his ailment six years ago, two prior to the last time he played Glastonbury. At the time he had refrained from discussing it publicly, but beamed this time around while announcing that he was officially cancer free.

“Get Lucky” would go on to catapult not only Rodgers but also Daft Punk and Pharrell back into the mainstream spotlight after selling 9.3 million copies and winning two Grammys. In the time since, the seminal disco and funk guitarist has been afforded the opportunity to reach the youngest generation of dance music fans.

Nile Rodgers continues the 2054 tour with Chic alongside Earth Wind & Fire with a performance in Oakland, California on July 12th.
