Diana Ross will make her Glastonbury debut next summer.
The Supremes icon, who recently released her 25th album ‘Thank You’, will fill the legends slot on the Pyramid Stage at the 2022 event, it’s been confirmed, after her 2020 set was axed due to Covid.
“I’m so excited and grateful to finally know that I’ll be seeing you at Glastonbury,” she said in a statement.

Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis added: “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.”
Kylie Minogue was the last star to appear in the coveted Sunday slot back in 2019. Other legends performers include Barry Gibb, Dolly Parton and Lionel Richie.
In a review of the album, Retro Pop called ‘Thank You’ a “love letter to fans around the world,” but said the album “suffers from an identity crisis”.
