To commemorate Dolly Parton’s 50th anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member, the Opry will celebrate Dolly Week from Oct. 8–12 with a number of special performances. Dolly was inducted into the Opry on Jan. 4, 1969.

Dolly Week 2019 includes five consecutive nights of Dolly-themed Opry shows with performances by many of Dolly’s friends, including Bill Anderson, Dierks Bentley, Barry Gibb, Emmylou Harris, Chris Janson, Toby Keith, Lady Antebellum, Margo Price, Don Schlitz, Jeannie Seely, Hank Williams, Jr. and more. Artists plan to perform a mix of their own hits as well as songs written, popularized or inspired by Dolly.

In addition, Dolly will be performing during two sold-out shows on Oct. 12.

Tickets to some shows are still available.
