Summary
Little Big Town said it plans to join Dollyfest in 2027, the two-day Nashville and London festival announced by Dolly Parton’s estate after her Aug. 25 death at 80.
Karen Fairchild said the band has already reached out to Parton’s agents, while Kimberly Schlapman called another tribute performance a chance to honor an artist the group grew up idolizing.
Schlapman used a TODAY appearance to recall Parton meeting her 9-year-old daughter Dolly Grace—named after the singer—and shared how Parton would ask, “How’s my Dolly?”
The band’s connection to Parton also included a 2019 Grammy tribute performance, and Dollyfest now offers a larger public memorial to celebrate her life and legacy in 2027.
