Dollyfest 2027: When, Where, Ticket Prices and Which Artists Could Perform - Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé and More?

Dolly Parton's legacy will be marked with a new global festival in 2027, as her estate launches DOLLYFEST with two-day celebrations on back-to-back weekends in Nashville and London.

The festival was originally conceived by Parton herself as a celebration of her 80th birthday in January 2026. After Parton stepped back from commitments in August 2025 because of health challenges, the original event was postponed.

Following her death at 80 on 25 August 2026, her estate has now expanded the concept into a two-city celebration of her life and music.

When Is DOLLYFEST 2027?

Fans will have to wait a little longer for the exact dates. DOLLYFEST will consist of two-day celebrations held across two consecutive weekends in Nashville and London in 2027. Parton's estate has not yet announced the specific weekends or daily schedules.

The event has been described by Parton's team as a 'global double-day, double-weekend, double-continent party of a lifetime'. It aims to reflect the scale of the celebration envisioned for the late musician's music and career.

The original Nashville event was intended to coincide with Parton's 80th birthday and was already far enough along that a venue had reportedly been booked. Her longtime manager Danny Nozell said the concept was 'truly dreamed up by Dolly' and that the team intends to bring her idea to life.

Where Will DOLLYFEST Be Held?

The two confirmed host cities are Nashville and London. Nashville is particularly significant because it was Parton's longtime professional home and the centre of her country music career. London, meanwhile, reflects her international following and her long-standing connection with British audiences.

Specific venues have not yet been announced publicly. The estate has said further information about the festival will be released at a later date.

At present, there is no confirmed ticket price. Parton's estate has not yet announced ticket sales, prices, VIP packages or when tickets will go on sale. Fans should therefore be cautious of any websites or social-media accounts claiming to have official DOLLYFEST tickets or prices at this stage.

Which Artists Could Perform?

No performers have been officially announced. The original event was planned as a multi-artist celebration, with Parton herself scheduled to perform and host. With the late musician no longer able to perform, the festival's eventual line-up remains to be announced.

While the line-up has not yet been confirmed, fans are likely to have their own favourites when it comes to potential tribute performers.

Among the names fans could hope to see are Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé, both of whom have links to Parton's musical legacy.

Miley Cyrus is one of the most natural names for fans to speculate about. The singer has a particularly close connection to Parton: the two performed together on several occasions, and Cyrus has frequently celebrated her godmother's music.

Beyoncé is another possibility. The two artists collaborated on 'Jolene' for Beyoncé's 'Cowboy Carter' album. The collaboration gives Beyoncé a connection to Parton's catalogue and makes her a natural name for fans to speculate about, although there is currently no indication that she has been booked.

Other country stars could also feature, particularly artists who have performed Parton's songs or worked with her throughout her career. Recent tributes involving performers including Jelly Roll and Carly Pearce demonstrate the depth of artists willing to celebrate her music, although neither has been confirmed for DOLLYFEST.

A Festival Of Celebration, Not A Memorial

DOLLYFEST is not intended to be a traditional memorial. Nozell said Parton did not want a conventional public memorial and described the festival as something authentic to her personality and vision. Instead of focusing solely on mourning, DOLLYFEST will allow artists and fans to celebrate the music, generosity and cultural influence she left behind.

For now, the key details are Nashville and London in 2027, two consecutive weekends, with dates, tickets, venues and performers still to come. While Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé and other stars may be among the artists fans hope to see, the official line-up remains under wraps.

What is certain is that DOLLYFEST is intended to fulfil a celebration that Parton herself imagined. It would be an event that would give fans around the world an opportunity to celebrate the woman behind some of country music's most enduring songs.
