Diana Ross to play Glastonbury legends slot
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 11 October 2019
Glastonbury Festival has announced that next year’s Sunday teatime legends slot will be filled by Diana Ross, performing in the UK for the first time in more than a decade.
“To all my fans across the world, this is my tribute to you”, says Ross, only slightly nonsensically. “Every concert feels like a private party, I can see your eyes and feel your hearts. I’m coming to Glastonbury, with love”.
Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis adds: “I am delighted to say that one of the all-time greats, the wonderful Diana Ross, is coming to Glastonbury to play the Sunday legend slot on the Pyramid next year”.
With that Sunday slot now something of an institution, legends to grace the Pyramid Stage in it in recent years include Dolly Parton, Shirley Bassey, Barry Gibb, Lionel Richie and, this year, Kylie Minogue.
Tickets for Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary edition in 2020 went on sale last weekend, selling out in a little over 30 minutes. There will be an opportunity to buy returned tickets in April next year.
