Emily Eavis, who organizes the British music event with her father Michael, announced on Thursday, October 10, that the "Chain Reaction" hitmaker had signed up to perform on its famous Pyramid Stage.
"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," she wrote on Twitter.
In a statement, Diana added: "To all my fans across the world, this is my tribute to you. Every concert feels like a private party, I can see your eyes and feel your hearts. I'm coming to Glastonbury, with love."
The performance will be Diana's first live appearance in the U.K. since 2008.
