Diana Ross has once again been booked to play the Legends Slot at Glastonbury.
The former Supremes singer and solo superstar was originally due to play the coveted Sunday afternoon set at the 2020 event, which was cancelled as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
She will now play the slot at the festival on Sunday, June 26, 2022.
