Dolly Parton, the iconic country music singer and songwriter, has passed away at the age of 80 due to cancer. Her estate has announced a "Dollyfest," a two-day festival to be held in 2027 in Nashville and London. Originally scheduled for January 2026, the festival will now serve as a celebration of Parton's legacy. The decision to hold the festival came after Parton had to step back due to health challenges in August 2025.
Her great-niece, Lainey Parton, honored her wishes by holding a private service for her immediate family only. The festival was initially to feature Parton as a performer and host, but her estate wants to respect her last wishes and let tributes unfold naturally. Detailed ticket information and dates for Dollyfest will be available soon at www.dollyparton.com.
