> Dolly Parton’s estate has announced DollyFest, a two-day celebration of her life and legacy planned across consecutive weekends in Nashville and London in 2027. It will replace a traditional public memorial, which Parton did not want, and revive an event she had originally dreamed of hosting and performing in.
