The Goddess of Pop, Cher, could be gracing the Glastonbury 2025 stage for the first time ever after reportedly entering ‘meaningful talks’. The Believe hitmaker, 78, would make the perfect fit for the Legends slot since 2025 also marks her 60th anniversary in the music industry packed with number-one hits, a Grammy win and an Oscar-winning screen role – to name a few achievements. But there’s one gig missing from her impressive CV. Cher has never played at the UK’s biggest music festival, which was founded in 1970 and takes place over five days almost every year at Somerset’s Worthy Farm with up to 200,000 people flocking to the field with their wellies on. What’s more, the last time she toured the UK was in 2019, making her return long overdue. If she took up the offer, she would be in good company as the Legends slot has previously been occupied by stars such as Shania Twain, Kylie Minogue, Dolly Parton and Diana Ross. According to the latest reports, Cher is closer than ever to taking up the Glasto mantle as organiser Emily Eavis gets underway with 2025 planning. ‘Cher is practically the legend of all pop music legends. She would be incredible. ‘It’s been a long time coming but she is finally in meaningful talks with Glastonbury about playing the legend’s slot,’ a source told The Sun. The insider continued: ‘Everything is very much in the planning stages but Cher is hoping to play a handful of shows in the UK next year and Glastonbury could be one of them. ‘The idea of a full-scale tour just doesn’t interest her anymore.’ It would be the singer’s only opportunity for the next couple of years to appear at Glastonbury as the festival will be taking a fallow year in 2026 to allow the land to recuperate. In December 2023, TV personality Rylan asked outright if she would perform to which she responded: ‘I’d like to.’ And, after being pressed, exclaimed ‘yes’ to the idea. This year marked another major moment in Cher’s career as she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (despite previously saying she would snub it due to her decades-long snub). Elsewhere, in another good sign for a Glastonbury cameo, the American music artist fully immersed herself in British culture after singing to various screen stars for a streaming service advert. That’s right, she started serenading everyone with a version of her 1965 Sonny & Cher tune I Got You Babe from Eastenders legend Barry (Shaun Williamson) in the Queen Vic to Chris Kamara and Jeff Stelling in World’s Most Dangerous Roads. ‘It was great to be associated with the great lady herself. I grew up listening to the song and duetting was incredible – such a pinch me moment,’ Shaun told Metro.co.uk earlier this year. As for the Glastonbury line-up, Emily had to weather a storm of criticism concerning the 2024 line-up after some attendees complained about the lack of rock acts. Instead, 2024 saw acts such as Dua Lipa, SZA and country icon Shania take to the main Pyramid Stage. ‘I think the line-up reflects what’s happening in the music world at the moment – there aren’t a lot of new rock acts to choose from if I’m honest,’ she told PA at the time. ‘Hopefully that will emerge again, my heyday was 1995 with Pulp and Oasis and Radiohead – and that was great, but music changes all the time and right now this is where we’re at,’ she concluded. Metro.co.uk has reached out to Cher’s representative and Glastonbury for comment. While some fans might still be recuperating from this year’s Glastonbury, reports are already flying around about who’ll be performing on the Pyramid Stage in 2025. And folks, this latest rumour is a good ’un. The Sun has reported that music icon Cher has begun “meaningful discussions” with Glastonbury organisers about performing in the coveted Sunday afternoon “Legends” slot last year. Citing an undisclosed “music insider”, the tabloid claimed that the If I Could Turn Back Time singer is eyeing a string of UK shows next year to coincide with her 60th year of making music, and an appearance at Worthy Farm could well be among them. And needless to say, fans are excited at the prospect (and, to be frank, so are we)...

Cheesy hits, singalong favourites and probably quite a fun show to boot I'm stunned she's never done it before — William (@williamchapple1) September 3, 2024 1000% YES! — Steve Crem (@MrCrembo) September 4, 2024 Oh yes please!!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞 Would be awesome! — Kelly ♡ (@jpkelster) September 3, 2024 Please do this @Cher!!!

She’s also set to release her first autobiography, titled The Memoir Part One, later this year. Recent “Legends” slot performers have included Diana Ross, Cat Stevens, Kylie Minogue and this year’s act, Shania Twain. Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has already teased that next year’s event will be an exciting one, particularly as the festival is taking a year off in 2026. “The festival before a fallow year is always a fun one to plan because you almost have to fit two years into one,” she revealed in June. “We’re already in talks with some acts for it. It’s exciting.” Meanwhile, one group has already ruled itself out of performing at Glasto in 2025, despite widespread rumours to the contrary.
