Cher, 78, 'is in talks to perform the Glastonbury 2025 legends slot' - after the icon previously hinted she'd love the opportunity

Cher is reportedly in talks to perform the Glastonbury 2025 legends slot in a move that could delight her fans and mark her 60th anniversary in music.

The Believe hitmaker, 78, is thought to be in 'meaningful talks' with bosses of the Somerset-based festival which takes place in late June.

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis will be keen to get the biggest stars for next year as 2026 will be a fallow year for the event to let the farm area recover. 

The Sun claims Cher is now in the planning stages of her potential Glastonbury appearance and is also hoping to perform a handful of UK shows next year.

A source told the publication: '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.

'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.' 

A representative for Cher has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. 

She had hinted at the possibility last year during a chat on Radio 2 and when asked by host Rylan Clark if she would perform there, she said: 'I'd like to.'

It comes as Cher is set to release her first greatest hits album in 20 years. 

At the start of last month Warner Records announced that the music icon personally curated a special collection of 21 of her tracks, spanning the course of her decades-long career, that she has 'beautifully remastered.'

Additionally, DJ Play A Christmas Song, off her 2023 holiday album and a live recording of I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For will both be featured on Forever. 

Forever, comes out on September 20, two months ahead of the release of of the release of her upcoming book Cher: The Memoir, Part One.

Per the press release, obtained by Just Jared, Forever's 'special double vinyl package will be printed on silver foil board with crystal clear translucent vinyl.'
