Dolly Parton, who hasn’t toured regularly in nearly a decade, has announced a six-concert run at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December.
The mini-residency, called Dolly: Live in Las Vegas, runs December 4-13, which coincides with the National Finals Rodeo in Vegas, an event that typically draws country stars to the city.
“To say I’m excited would be an understatement,” Parton said in a statement. “I haven’t worked Vegas in years and I’ve always loved singing there. I’m looking so forward to the shows in The Colosseum at Caesars and I hope you are as well. See you there.”
In a post on social media, Parton writes, “Grab your rhinestones, Vegas is calling!”
Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster. Various ticket packages will include photo opportunities with Parton, an onstage tour, access to “Dolly’s Rhinestone Lounge,” and other perks.
In today’s announcement, the mini-residency is described as “a hit-driven concert event bringing global superstar Dolly Parton back to Vegas for her first extended run in 32 years. Weaving together seven decades of classic hits and fan favorites including 9 to 5, Jolene, I Will Always Love You, Coat of Many Colors’ and many more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the world’s most beloved entertainers at the peak of her success.”
The Vegas shows will cap a busy year for the country icon. She’s a producer of a stage musical called Dolly: An Original Musical that’s expected to hit Broadway sometime in 2026. The musical, which features a score by Parton that will include some of her biggest hits as well as new songs she has written especially for the musical, makes it premiere at Nashville’s Fisher Center for the Performing Arts this summer, with previews beginning Friday, July 18, ahead of a a Friday, August 8, opening night. Bartlett Sher is directing.
Parton also is set to receive the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the Academy’s 2025 Governors Awards on Sunday, November 16.
