Diana Ross performs onstage during the 61st Annual Grammy Awards at Staples Center on Feb. 10, 2019, in Los Angeles.
(CNN) - Diana Ross is to perform in the "legends slot" at Glastonbury 2020, it was announced Thursday, making the soul icon the first artist confirmed for the festival's 50th anniversary event.
Previous acts who have taken this prestigious slot include Paul Simon, Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton and Kylie Minogue, who performed this year to a record-breaking audience.
Glastonbury Festival announced the news on Twitter on Thursday morning.
When Ross last performed live in the UK -- at Petworth Park in 2008 -- she famously reprimanded audience members for filming her on their cellphones.
