After an illustrious 60 year career, could the one and only Cher finally grace the iconic Glastonbury stage? It seems like a possibility as reports have surfaced of the legendary singer being in talks to perform at the prestigious music festival in 2025.
Known as the Goddess of Pop, Cher has achieved countless accolades in her career, including a Grammy win, an Oscar-winning movie role, and numerous number-one hits. However, one accomplishment that is missing from her impressive resume is a performance at the UK's biggest music festival, Glastonbury. Founded in 1970, Glastonbury draws in crowds of up to 200,000 people over five days at Somerset's Worthy Farm.
The last time Cher toured the UK was in 2019, making her long overdue for a return. And what better time to do so than in 2025, which also marks her 60th anniversary in the music industry? If she takes up the offer, she would be joining the ranks of other legendary performers who have graced the festival's iconic Legends slot, such as Shania Twain, Kylie Minogue, Dolly Parton, and Diana Ross.
According to sources, Emily Eavis, the festival's organizer, is already in the planning stages for 2025 and is in talks with Cher for a potential performance. The 78-year-old artist is reportedly considering a handful of shows in the UK next year, with Glastonbury being one of them. It seems that Cher has no interest in a full-scale tour, but a Glastonbury appearance is definitely on her radar.
However, time may be of the essence as the festival will be taking a fallow year in 2026 to allow the land to recover. This means that 2025 may be Cher's only opportunity for the next couple of years to perform at Glastonbury. In the past, she has expressed her enthusiasm for the idea, and even performed her iconic 1965 hit "I Got You Babe" with various British stars for a streaming service advert.
Her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year only solidifies her status as a music legend, making her a perfect fit for the Glastonbury Legends slot. But she won't be the first one to follow in the footsteps of the 2024 Legend, Shania Twain. The festival has faced criticism in the past for its lack of rock acts, but Emily Eavis has defended the line-up, stating that it reflects the current state of the music world. She also expressed hope for new rock acts to emerge in the future.
We have reached out to Cher's representative and Glastonbury for comment, and will eagerly await any updates on this exciting potential performance. Here's hoping that the Goddess of Pop will grace us with her presence at Glastonbury 2025.
