Diana Ross is to headline a special BBC concert marking the Platinum Jubilee. The former Supremes singer will close the Platinum Party at the Palace on Saturday, June 4.

Ross, 78, has not taken to a stage in the UK since 2007 during her I Love You tour. She was meant to tour Britain in 2020 but her plans were derailed by the pandemic. Her performance at the Platinum Party at the Palace is her first in a series of UK dates, including the Sunday afternoon “legends” slot at Glastonbury on June 26.

The singer will be one of the centrepieces of the Jubilee concert, which will be staged on a vast circular platform on the Victoria Memorial. Other acts include Queen, which will evoke memories of Brian May playing God Save The Queen on the roof of Buckingham Palace for the Golden Jubilee in 2002. Duran Duran and Andrea Bocelli have also signed up, with the BBC expected to announce the full line-up this week.
