Diana Ross is coming back to the UK for some very special shows.

Diana Ross is simply one of the all-time legends and absolutely everyone should go and see her live.

Here in the UK we'll have that honour this summer as the ex-Supremes star has announced a seven-date tour of massive venues.

• Diana Ross announces first new music in 15 years with album 'Thank You'
• Diana Ross and the Supremes' 10 greatest songs ever, ranked
• Listen to the Gold Radio 60s Live Playlist on Global Player, the official Gold app

Better still, the shows are being billed as a Symphonic Celebration and she'll be backed on the road by our nations' most renowned orchestras.

In Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool, Ross will be backed by the Hallé Orchestra, while the Glasgow show will feature the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

When Ms Ross comes to London, she'll be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

• June 26 – Manchester, Co-op Live

Festival fans will notice that these dates put Ms Ross in the UK during the Glastonbury Festival.

It's possible that she could play on the Friday between her Glasgow and Manchester shows or the Sunday between Manchester and Leeds.

However, Ross did play Glastonbury relatively recently when she stormed the Legend's Slot in 2022, the same year she performed at Buckingham Palace for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee.
