SOUL, pop and R&B legend Diana Ross has announced a one-night-only concert in Spain – and fans should move quickly to grab their tickets.
One-time lead singer of The Supremes, the iconic US-born artist, now aged 78 but full of enthusiasm and with no intention of hanging up her mic for a while yet, will be at Marbella's world-class Starlite Festival this summer.
A huge tourist magnet on the Málaga-province coast, this celebrity music event is a popular stop-off point for massive international bands and singers whose career spans decades when they stage a less-frantic European tour – rather than playing at several trademark venues in the biggest cities over several nights, an 'express' tour for well-loved veterans might only feature one date per country in a more 'cosy' setting with lower-priced tickets.
Starlite has, therefore, hosted rockers and chart-busting pop acts whom fans had not seen on the road for years, or even decades, making their appearance a rare chance to catch them live after a long wait.
Diana Ross is one of those, and will hit the stage on Wednesday, July 6, where she will regale generations of followers with her classic numbers and hitherto unreleased tracks – all of which can be found on her forthcoming compilation album, Thank You.
The title of the new collection, which features a photo of Diana from the earlier end of her career, is a heartfelt tribute to all those who have listened to and bought her records since her début in the 1960s, helping her hit the number one singles and album slots worldwide over 40 times.
If you thought you'd never again hear her powerful vocals belting out Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Endless Love and Upside Down in the flesh and right in front of you, don't miss this unique opportunity to feast your ears once more at the Starlite Catalana Occidente Festival.
Tickets are now on sale for Diana Ross and other performers from the Spanish and Latin American scene – including C. Tangana, Sergio Dalma, Serrat, Maluma, Juanés, Jason Derulo, Malú, Pablo Alborán, Josçe Mercé, Sara Baras, Vanesa Martín and Sebastián Yatra – via Starlitecatalanaoccidente.com.
