Dolly Parton wins peace 2024 through music award honors
The US Department of State and Recording Academy awarded 2024 Peace through Music Awards Honors for her philanthropy through music.
Dolly has a joyous ring in Vegas, and the country’s superstar is poised to follow.
Dolly Parton returns to the Las Vegas Strip for her first extended run in 32 years with six shows at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
“Dolly: Live in Las Vegas” coincides with the National Final Rodeo on December 4th, at venues 6-7, 10, and 12-13. Tickets will be on sale at 1pm on June 25th via TicketMaster.com. The series of VIP packages include personal photo shoots from Parton, on-stage tours and access to Dolly’s rhinestone lounge. All shows start at 8pm
“To say I’m excited is an understatement,” Parton announced limited engagement. “I haven’t worked in Vegas for years, and I’ve always loved singing there.”
The concert weaves 70 years of hits from the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, with classics like “9 vs. 5”, “Jolene”, “I Love You”, and “Many Color Coats” that you’d expect from the set list.
Parton, 79, resigned from the spotlight due to a spell after her husband, Carl Dean, in March. But the insatiable singer-actress-philanthropist, as always, has numerous projects in the pipeline.
Dolly: True Original Musical, a live production based on her life, will begin previews in Nashville on July 18th with an eye on Broadway. Her other shows, “Thread: My Song “Symphony,” featuring her songs relocated with orchestra and guest vocalists, are touring the tour until May 2026.
Parton also made the headline for an unconventional pairing with the Hard Rockers Motley Crew in a remake of his 1985 ballad “Home Sweet Home.” The song was reconsidered as a duet and will appear in the retrospective “From the First” on September 12th.
