The highly anticipated Dollyfest is scheduled to take place in 2027, honoring the iconic Dolly Parton even in her absence. Originally intended to coincide with the music legend’s 80th birthday and feature her as the main act, the cross-continental festival was postponed last year due to health concerns.
Despite Dolly Parton’s recent passing at the age of 80, the festival will still delight fans in Nashville and London over two consecutive weekends. Known for her chart-topping hits like “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” and “9 to 5,” Dolly’s legacy of music, wit, and philanthropy continues to resonate with her devoted followers.
The organizers of Dollyfest promise a “star-studded” event that embodies the spirit of celebration that Dolly herself envisioned. While specifics such as the exact dates and lineup remain undisclosed, more details are expected to be revealed during an upcoming press conference.
Danny Nozell, the festival organizer, expressed a commitment to bringing Dolly’s vision to life and providing a platform for artists and fans worldwide to participate in this commemorative event. Both Nashville and London hold special significance for Dolly, as she resided in Nashville and performed at London’s Wembley Arena during her illustrious career.
