Dolly Parton’s Estate is bringing “DollyFest: The Celebration of a Lifetime” to Nashville and London next year. It’ll be a music festival held on two consecutive weekends.
Dolly originally planned “DollyFest” as part of her 80th birthday celebration last year. She was set to host and perform, but had to take a step back due to health challenges.
Her longtime manager Danny Nozell said a venue was booked and an announcement was ready to go. He said, “what Dolly started, we will ensure is brought to life…
As far as a traditional memorial goes, that is not something Dolly wanted. This is something that is authentic to her, and something that artists and fans around the world can participate in, while also giving everyone time to grieve, and plan.”
Details haven’t been shared yet, like dates, ticket information, even the lineup. And that will come in due time.
In other Dolly news, the Tennessee Volunteers will honor her all football season long with a special orange butterfly sticker on their helmets.
