Two acclaimed performers will play an unforgettable summer finale on the Muny stage: international music icon Diana Ross and multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Jon Batiste. The Muny’s storied live concert tradition returned in 2024 — after more than 30 years — with a sold-out performance by John Legend.
The Muny Presents Diana Ross & Jon Batiste, a one-night-only concert event at The Muny, is at 8 p.m. Aug. 28. From Ross’ timeless Motown hits to Batiste’s genre-defying brilliance, this exclusive engagement will be an unforgettable celebration under the stars.
“The Muny has always been a place where generations gather to experience something magical,” said Muny President & CEO Kwofe Coleman. “To continue that tradition with artists as inspiring as Diana Ross and Jon Batiste is both an honor and a celebration of the uniting power of music. This concert is another reminder of why we come together summer after summer: to feel joy and connection with our friends and neighbors.”
This special co-bill engagement is a stop on Ross’ Celebrating Timeless Classics tour, which starts July 25 in Los Angeles, and Batiste’s The Big Money Tour, which starts Aug. 27 in Kansas City.
