Soul legend Diana Ross is heading to Durham – here’s how you can be there

The Chain Reaction star has announced plans to host a massive outdoor summer show at the Durham Emirates Cricket Club.

She will return to the UK in June with her Thanksgiving Summer Tour to share her music, memories and career magic with fans and will visit County Durham on Wednesday 29 June.

In the 1960s, Diana Ross reigned as “Queen of Motown”, leading The Supremes to dominate the market with hits such as Baby Love, Stop! In the name of love and “You keep me hooked”.

Fifty years later, she is touring and recording and she will be releasing a new album on November 5 of this year.

She co-wrote and curated every song on the album with a message of gratitude.

The concert, promoted by the Durham County Cricket Club, follows news that another superstar, Michael Bublé, will also be visiting the county in a wave of exciting new announcements.

Tom Seymour of Durham County Cricket Club said: “We are delighted and honored to be able to welcome one of music’s true legends here in Durham next year.

“As live music is making a comeback, we couldn’t have asked for a brighter star to come to town and bring some joy to the area. Her catalog is amazing and her voice and music continue to resonate with people around the world. “

Tickets for Dianna Ross at the Durham Emirates Cricket Club go on sale at noon on Monday, September 27.
