Diana Ross Tickets

Before there was Lady Gaga, before there was Taylor Swift, before there was Madonna, there was Diana Ross. The original diva is on tour this summer in a series of glamorous venues befitting her stature. Tickets are available now for this rare tour by one of the most influential singers of our age. If you've never seen the Queen of Motown live, now is your chance.

On her last tour in 2007, Ms. Ross created a sensation everywhere she appeared. The concerts were nearly as much of a fashion show as a review of her million-selling hits over a five decade career. Diana Ross would appear in a stunning gown and bowa, making a grand entrance, singing her hit "I'm Coming Out." As the show progressed she would periodically disappear for costume changes to highlight the upcoming set. Those sets were either a run of chart-topping smashes of Supremes hits from the Sixties or her disco diva period in the Seventies. Ross was never less than stunning on stage. She plays with a tight band and two backup singers, belting out favorites like "Stop! In the Name Of Love," "Where Did Our Love Go?," "Baby Love," "Someday We'll Be Together," and "You Can't Hurry Love." Also featured are some Billie Holiday covers, because Diana Ross famously portrayed the tragic singer in the 1972 film "Lady Sings the Blues" with Billie Dee Williams and Richard Pryor.

Diana Ross started out with the Supremes, a vocal group once known as the Primettes. The Supremes became the most successful vocal group of the Sixties with ten number one hits in the U.S. and the U.K. In 1968 they became Diana Ross & the Supremes and had their final number one with "Someday We'll Be Together." Diana Ross released her first solo album in 1970, simply titled "Diana Ross." It featured her first solo number one, a remake of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," an old Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terrell hit. In 1976, she hit the top of the charts again with "Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" and the disco hit "Love Hangover." In 1980 Diana Ross released her first solo Platinum album, "Diana," produced by Chic frontmen Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. The album yielded the number one hits 'Upside Down" and "I'm Coming Out." Diana Ross' 1981 album, "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" contained the Top Ten hit title track, a cover of the Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers' hit, and "Mirror Mirror." Throughout the Eighties Diana Ross would score hit after hit, both in the U.S. and the U.K. where she is a sentimental favorite. In 2008, Diana Ross headlined the City Stages music festival in Birmingham, Alabama along with the alternative pop group The Flaming Lips. The New York Times called it "incongruous" and a "once-in-a-lifetime-at-most" combination.

Diana Ross tour tickets are now available for her appearances at the Wang Theatre in Boston, New York City's Radio City Music Hall, Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City, the Chicago Theater, the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, the Fox Theater in Detroit and the Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California.
