Diana Ross At Glasto

Glastonbury Festival announced that Diana Ross will perform the festival’s Legends slot next year, which traditionally takes place as part of Sunday’s schedule at teatime. 
In 2022, that day will fall on June 26. Since Diana Ross will be touring the UK with her new album, Thank You, next summer, a stop at Worthy Farm, Glastonbury, only makes sense. The tour will mark the iconic singer’s first return to the UK since 2008.
Said Glastonbury co-organizer Emily Eavis: |”I’m thrilled to be able to let you know that the magnificent Diana Ross is coming to play at Glastonbury next summer. We were so excited to book such a legend for Glastonbury 2020 and are so happy that she’s the first to re-confirm for next year.”
Ms Ross is considered one of the most successful recording artists and entertainers of all time, with more than 50 number one hits around the globe and 100 million records sold.
