Dolly Parton Announces Las Vegas Residency, ‘Dolly Parton: Live In Las Vegas’ – “Grab Your Rhinestones, Vegas Is Calling!”

The “Backwoods Barbie” is headed to Las Vegas!

Dolly Parton is slated to take the stage in Las Vegas later this year, announcing a six-show residency at The Colosseum in Caesar’s Palace.

This morning, Parton took to her social media channels to share the exciting news:

“Grab your rhinestones, Vegas is calling! I’m taking over The Colosseum at Caesars Palace with Dolly: Live in Las Vegas, a limited-run engagement from December 4-13. Tickets go on sale this Wednesday, June 25th, at 10 am PT!”

Shows will take place on December 4,6,7,10,12, and 13th. While no more information about special or fan club presales has been announced, it is promised that VIP ticket packages will be available for fans wanting to go the extra mile. The announcement teased that “offers may include a personal photo op with Dolly herself, an onstage tour, access to Dolly’s Rhinestone Lounge, a deluxe gift set and more.”

This short and sweet residency announcement is a massive move for Parton, who has not been on a tour since her Pure & Simple tour, which concluded in 2016. While she’s performed a few shows here and there, this will be her first string of shows put together since then.

This will also be the first tour that Parton will embark on since the death of her husband, Carl Dean. While many fans expected her to mourn for a long time, given how long they were together, Parton shared that Carl would have wanted her to keep working, so she’s honoring him by maintaining business as usual.

“He would expect me to be workin’ today, so I expect to be workin’… Of course, I will always love him, and I’ll miss him.”

Dolly: Live in Las Vegas is being marketed as a “hit-driven concert event,” so fans don’t have to worry about not hearing the classics like “Jolene” or “9 to 5.”

“To say I’m excited would be an understatement. 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.”

This is not Parton’s first residency in Sin City. She had a massive run at Las Vegas’ Mirage from 1990 to 1993. During that time, the Tennessee native performed nearly 50 shows.

Tickets for these six shows will sell out quickly, so be sure you’re locked in and ready to snag them when the presale begins on June 25th at 10 am PT. Dolly Parton live is not something you’ll want to miss, and given the limited number of shows she performs as is, this series of performances is sure to be extraordinary.
