About Dolly Parton
Iconic American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton is best known for her accomplishments in the world of country music, with hits including “Jolene”, “9 to 5” and “My Tennessee Mountain Home” cementing her as a true pioneer of the genre.
Dolly has barely taken a break during her 45-plus year career, constantly writing, releasing and touring new material, as well as all of the old favourites.
Summer 2014 will see Dolly Parton cross the pond into the UK for her “Blue Smoke World Tour”. Dolly will be performing songs from her latest studio album “Blue Smoke”, to be released in Europe in May 2014 - including a duet with one of her favourite collaborators, Kenny Rogers.
Dolly has become one of the most popular and successful country artists of all time, so it’s no wonder her live shows are still so in demand.

Dolly’s latest studio album of all new material “Blue Smoke” will be released worldwide on Dolly Records with a release date to be announced soon.
“Every time I come to Europe I’m just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world and I especially love the fans,” adds Parton. “We always have such a good time and I’ve put together a lot of things for this show that I think the fans will love. We had not planned to come back so soon, but we got so much fan mail and such a great reaction that I thought ‘Well, why not. If they’re having a good time and we always do, let’s just do it’.”
In 2011, Dolly continued to receive accolades for what was her most successful European and Australian tour of her 45-plus year career–The Better Day World Tour! During the 2011 tour, Dolly performed for record-breaking attendances in both Europe and Australia, surpassing her previous attendance records. In 2008, Dolly performed 17 European shows to over 170,000 fans, surpassing her then-best 2007 European tour, where she played 21 shows for over 140,000 people. Each of these treks grossed in the tens of millions of dollars and established Dolly as Europe’s favourite and most successful country artist.
