Cher reportedly “in talks” for legends slot at Glastonbury 2025
nme.comCher is reportedly “in talks” to take on the legends slot at the 2025 edition of Glastonbury.The slot has become one of the most prestigious slots of the Worthy Farm event over the years and sees one veteran artist take to the Pyramid stage late on the Sunday afternoon to break out a career-spanning set of their biggest hits.Shania Twain took on the slot at this year’s edition, while Yusuf/Cat Stevens played in 2023.
Performers previous to that include Diana Ross, Barry Gibb, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and Kylie Minogue.For Minogue, the set at the 2019 festival became the most-watched moment of that year’s event (via Radio X).Now, planning has already commenced for next year’s instalment – the last before Glasto takes a year off to allow the farmland to recover – and speculation has arisen that Cher could be the next to take on the slot.According to a report by The Sun, the ‘Believe’ hitmaker is said to be in “meaningful talks” with the event organisers and is already planning to fit the festival around some plans for some headline shows in the UK.“Cher is practically the legend of all pop music legends.
