Ms Ross said. “I’m so excited and grateful to finally know, that I’ll be seeing you at Glastonbury while on my UK Thank U Tour celebrating my new album of songs, Sunday, June 26, 2022.”

Said Glastonbury co-organiser 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.”
