Dolly Parton postpones Las Vegas dates

The six-performance run will move to fall 2026

Dolly Parton has postponed her upcoming Las Vegas concerts to fall 2026. Dolly: Live in Las Vegas was to feature six performances from December 4 to 13 during the National Finals Rodeo, but due to recent health setbacks, the global superstar has pushed the dates to September 2026.

“I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts,” she says. “As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures. As I joked with them, it must be time for my 100,000-mile check-up, although it’s not the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon! In all seriousness, given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you. While I’ll still be able to work on all of my projects from here in Nashville, I just need a little time to get show ready, as they say. And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so l can be ready for more big adventures with all of you. I love you and thank you for understanding.”

The announcement follows a prior event she missed at Dollywood, which she explained was due to a kidney stone that caused an infection.

Dolly: Live In Las Vegas is a hit-driven concert event bringing Parton back to Vegas for her first extended run in 33 years. Weaving together seven decades of classic hits and fan favorites, including “9 to 5,” “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You,” “Coat Of Many Colors,” and many more, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the world’s most beloved entertainers at the peak of her success.

Parton can be heard on a new version of Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home,” released digitally last week. Bringing together two giants of American music, the new rendition of “Home Sweet Home” featuring Dolly Parton offers a powerful twist on the 1985 hit. To drive home the song’s positive message of hope, a portion of the proceeds from the single will benefit Covenant House, an organization close to the hearts of the members of Mötley Crüe. Covenant House provides safe shelter, meals, hope and more to help youth experiencing homelessness.
