Set in the stunning medieval grandeur of Ludlow Castle, located in a beautiful town steeped in history, Ludlow Castle is the perfect location to catch what will be a unique and awe-inspiring event. Ludlow Castle homes the fascinating story of siege and conflict from the 11th century. Next, July will welcome the chance to catch a new piece of history as the venue hosts world-class artists within the grounds of this impressive heritage site. This is the fourth announcement of a series of shows within the castle walls in the Summer of 2023.
Speaking about next year’s performance, Ludlow Castle General Manager Gemma England said:
“And last, but by no means least, Nile Rogers & Chic are the final act to join our line-up for Ludlow’s new Within the Walls event; together with Futuresound we are incredibly excited and proud to be bringing world renowned artists to our medieval Castle. The response to the concerts so far has been incredible and we have no doubt that this really will be a summer to remember.”
