Diana Ross will play the AO Arena Manchester tonight – everything you need to know

Daisy Jackson - 14th June 2022

Motown legend Diana Ross will be performing at the AO Arena tonight, fresh off the back of her landmark performance at the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations.

The music icon is visiting Manchester on her UK Thank You Tour on 14 June before heading on to gigs in Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool, Birmingham, and London.

She’ll also be taking the headline slot, known as the Legends slot, at Glastonbury Festival.

Diana Ross rose to fame in the 1960s as part of The Supremes, one of the world’s best-selling girl groups of all time.

They dominated the charts with songs such as Baby Love, Stop!, In the Name of Love, and You Keep Me Hangin’ On, before Diana launched her solo career and released well-known songs such as I’m Still Waiting, Touch Me in the Morning, Endless Love, and, of course, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, and the UK number one single Chain Reaction.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of her concert at the AO Arena tonight.

Support act

As things stand, no support act has been announced for Diana Ross at the AO Arena.
