Prepare your most dazzling attire and your highest blonde wig. Dollyfest is scheduled to proceed in 2027 without its leading lady, evolving into a commemoration of Dolly Parton’s legacy.
The global music festival, initially designed to coincide with Parton’s 80th birthday in January and feature her as the headlining act alongside a lineup of other musicians, was delayed last September due to health concerns.
However, Parton’s estate has revealed that the “star-studded” music festival will still take place for fans in Nashville and London over two consecutive weekends next year.
The iconic “Queen of Country” passed away last week at the age of 80, leaving behind a multitude of grieving admirers. Renowned for composing chart-toppers like Jolene, I Will Always Love You, and 9 to 5, she also brightened the world with her humor, rhinestones, and extensive philanthropic work.
The estate stated that Dollyfest “will be the celebration she desired to share with the world.”
Although the festival guarantees a tribute befitting Parton’s vibrant charisma, many details remain undisclosed. The exact dates have not been revealed yet, and the lineup of musical acts remains a mystery.
