Dolly Parton has written over 4,000 songs, had numerous number 1 hits and won countless Grammy, CMA and ACM awards, not to mention enough gold and platinum albums to make even the folks at Tiffany's blush.
Dolly saw a cherished dream become a reality in 1986 with the opening of her own theme park called Dollywood, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains.
The shows will include hits like '9 To 5', 'Here You Come Again', 'Jolene', and of course the incomparable 'I Will Always Love You', stage sets, costumes and featuring new music from her forthcoming album. Her last two European tours sold out and extra dates were added to meet the demand.
Dolly said, "I had a great time when we were in Europe on the last Backwoods Barbie tour and I expect to have even more fun on the up and coming 'Better Day Tour'. I'm really looking forward to this and I can't wait to see all the fans again. We have a lot fun things for everybody ! Get ready cos here I come again!"
