    Glastonbury tickets at £265 seem quite a good deal considering patrons will also get the chance to see sets from dozens of others

    That is the plan. There are one or two exciting possibilities that could take place, but everything is of course in the very early planning stages at the moment. Watch this space.

    It is an exciting time to be a Diana Ross fan. 2020 and 2021 promise to be landmark years. Some of the ideas being discussed are way beyond what i could have possibly hoped for a couple of years ago. Obviously not all of the ideas will come to fruition but if only two or three of them materialise it will be a real treat for us. Obviously Diana's continued well being is the most important factor. There are no guarantees in this world, but if her health holds up you will not be disappointed by the future possibilities.

    ALSO, am I right in thinking that the tour's name 'Top Of The World' is an excellent albeit rather niche reference to Diana's song of the same name from Baby It's Me...?

    Have you any information on how the ticket sales have gone?

    Although venues have declared "SOLD OUT" this can be because Agencies have bought up block bookings and these may not necessarlly have then been bought by the public.

    I'm beginning ti get very uneasy about Norovirus.

    With only a few months to go there must be a possibility that everything could be called off.

    Think you are referring to coronavirus. Yes, as soon as it was announced that there could be restrictions on mass gatherings, my first thought was the Diana Ross concert. I've already booked the hotel which is non-refundable and if the concert is cancelled, you will only get the ticket cost back, not the booking and agency fees. Just hope it has all sorted out for June.

    The ticket sales have been better than expected. Several venues are almost sold out.
    As regards the coronavirus i would say there is a 50% chance of the tour being postponed. The European dates are the ones most in danger. She was not at all happy about those dates being added. She only initially committed to the UK dates. Glastonbury is increasingly likely to be a casualty. The whole event is in jeapordy. I have not had an update since last week, but i am expecting one next Monday.
    If the tour is cancelled it will be rescheduled when the situation calms down. That is all i can tell you at the moment.

    It's not looking good folks. It is looking increasingly likely to be postponed. Note that i say postponed rather than cancelled.

    Not a surprise.

    We’ve been told that at a certain stage the public will begin to understand this is serious. In Canada, we’ve reached that stage it seems.

    Thanks for real news; I would not fault any performer who draws large crowds for wanting to avoid a worldwide pandemic.

    Do you have tests available in Canada? In the USA we're told by some as!H*le in the White House that there are 'beautiful tests' available for anyone who wants one, but SHOCK!! there are not.

    They are working at doing tests outside a hospital so people with the virus don’t spread it by going to the hospital

    There is some hope the virus peaks quite quickly; it seems China has peaked???

    Who knows

    She is cancelling all dates with immediate effect unless otherwise advised. Many other artists will do the same.

    Yes, others have already done so. A sad and scary time it is for sure.

    Diana just posted this on Facebook and Twitter concerning her Miami concerts tonight and tomorrow:

    Out of concern for public health and safety, the performances in Miami, March 12 and 13 are postponed.
    We are heeding warnings from those who have communicated concerns about large events and
    also heeding warnings from health officials.
    We are always concerned about the safety of our live audiences and will attempt to reschedule these performances
    hopefully in the coming months.

    It is only common sense to do this. Hopefully these dates will be rescheduled in the Fall, and the UK dates for summer 2021.

    Surprised to see the concert advertised on TV in the North West for the first time this morning, is that to reassure people that it's still going ahead?

    Not sure what is going on there. I was told last Tuesday that all shows were postponed until [[hopefully) 202l. I was expecting an official announcement by the end of last week, but so far that has not been forthcoming. Very strange indeed.

    Possibly/probably a pre-booked advert & there was a mis- or non-communication with the broadcaster.

    Very likely. The dates are 100% cancelled. I am surprised it is taking so long for it to be officially confirmed. There must be some legal issues still to be resolved.

    A shame for so many people.

    I hope at least to see her at Glastonbury [[on tv) at some later date.



    And I also hope you are all well and staying healthy.

    Glastonbury appears to be still a possible although Diana herself could still pull out. Fingers crossed.

    Yes - couldn't see it going ahead with the current situation. Wondered if there might be a chance it was postponed to a later date this year - obviously not though this would have been problematic with many artists likely to be contracted for other engagements on any new date.

    Wonder if they will try and keep the same acts for 2021 presuming there even is a 2021 event...

    Oh dear. Some good news one of these days in 2020 would be nice....

    And I'm not just feeling sorry for Diana or big acts and fans like us. But all the musicians, backing vocalists, dancers, publicists, assistants, roadies etc etc affected by this global crisis.

    The only 'bright side' to this is that I guess Diana could still work in the studio with Ronson etc to prepare her new album.

    Oh bugger. I guess it would have been deemed extremely reckless had the event took place. As Levi pointed out, the effect of such cancellations are felt right across the spectrum.
    Any kind of new release would be most very welcome at the mo. Expanded or otherwise.

    .
    This has put the nail in the coffin for the Tour as this was added on to her appearance at Glastonbury it could be some years before she decides to tour here in the U.K., if at all. Perhaps they will stop running the concert tour adverts now, three times a day since Monday.

    I was informed that the tour was cancelled over one week ago including Glastonbury. I am amazed it has taken this long for it to be made official. The tour adverts which i have yet to see should have been pulled or even better not shown at all. It is very misleading and has probably led to many people wasting their time by booking tickets when the tour had already been cancelled. It is bang out of order.
    It is hoped most of this years acts will be rebooked for Glastonbury will be available for 2021. As soon as Diana's participation is confirmed i shall let you know. The tour will hopefully take place in the summer of 2021. Basically everything is being postponed for 12 months, but of course that is not yet official.

    Is there still no official word on the UK dates? I have tickets for London but I have not received any info on the show being cancelled. Also, you can still buy tickets online for the shows. Seems very strange, if the shows are indeed postponed.

    It is out of order that there has been no official announcement. I suspect it is down to the promoters who are desperate to hang on to your money for a little while longer. Interest rates are so low at the moment so they cannot be making too much interest in your money.
    I am sorry you are being kept hanging on a string. It is a very unsatisfactory state of affairs.

    Pet Shop Boys just delayed their UK 2020 shows until summer 2021, but already purchased tickets remain valid for the shows next year. Perhaps a similar system will be used for the Diana dates?

    Well if that is the plan they need to be telling the folks that shelled out all their money in the first place...I would rather get my money back and re book when the concerts are re scheduled.

    Here in the states one hears lots of similar stories about concert producers being rather ... non-compliant ... about issuing refunds. Note that this covers all concert genres, not just those of our favorites.

    I think I saw with the Pet Shop Boys that a refund option was also available. I have already booked a non-refundable hotel because of the Diana shows in the UK but luckily I held off booking the flight.
