Dolly Parton has postponed her upcoming Las Vegas six-date residency until 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 issue, Parton has pushed the dates to September 2026.
Parton said in a statement shared to social media: “I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts. 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.”
Parton originally announced she was headed to the Las Vegas Strip with a new limited-run engagement at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, bringing the icon back to Vegas for her first extended run in 32 years. Dolly: Live in Las Vegas was set to feature six performances in December, with Parton sharing in a statement at the time: “To say I’m excited would be an understatement. I haven’t worked Vegas in years and I’ve always loved singing there. I’m looking so forward to the shows in The Colosseum at Caesars and I hope you are as well. See you there!”
The six-show run has been rescheduled for 2026 on the following dates: Sept. 17, 19, 20, 23, 25 and 26. Original tickets are valid for the new dates, and refunds will be available. Further instructions will be provided to ticket purchasers via email.
