And a DJ set of Sigala’s summer-influenced hits will be the 'perfect opening' ahead of the headline live performance, according to the Saints' chief executive.

“Sigala is a fantastic producer and DJ, and is the perfect choice for a summer’s evening ahead of Nile Rodgers and Chic’s headline set,” said Mark Darbon.

“The combination of both acts will ensure everyone will enjoy a night to remember at the home of Northampton Saints.”

Sigala’s debut number one was followed by further hits including ‘Sweet Lovin’ with Bryn Christopher and ‘Lullaby’ featuring Paloma Faith.
