Las Vegas – Dolly Parton has officially postponed her upcoming residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, initially set for December 2025. The new six-show series will now take place in the fall of 2026, specifically on September 17, 19, 20, 23, 25, and 26. This decision comes as Parton encounters health challenges that necessitate medical procedures, which she communicated through her social media accounts.
Parton stated the need for adequate rehearsal time as a pivotal reason for the delay. She expressed her commitment to delivering the best performance for her audience, emphasizing that ticket holders deserve to see her at her finest. Despite health concerns, she reassured fans that she has no intentions of retiring from the music industry, reassuring them that she is looking forward to more projects and big adventures ahead.
The concerts were originally slated for December 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, and 13 in 2025. Fans who have purchased tickets for the original dates can transfer their tickets to the new performances, or they may request a refund if preferred. This residency marks Parton’s return to the Las Vegas stage after a 32-year hiatus.
Parton humorously described her health situation by likening it to a “100,000-mile checkup,” though she did not divulge specific details about the medical procedures she will undergo. She recently dealt with health issues earlier this month when she had to miss several events due to a kidney stone infection. Adding to these challenges, Parton faced personal loss with the passing of her husband, Carl Dean, in March at the age of 82, after nearly 60 years of marriage.
The delay comes at a particularly busy time for Parton, who has been working on several projects. Her latest album, “Rockstar,” has seen significant success, reaching the US and UK Top Five, and features collaborations with several high-profile artists. Additionally, she is developing a new stage musical inspired by her life story, anticipated to premiere on Broadway in 2026.
Despite the postponement of her residency, Parton remains optimistic and eager to continue her musical journey. She continues to have a loyal fanbase who look forward to her performances and new ventures. The upcoming Las Vegas residency was highly anticipated, being her first extended show series in the city in three decades, causing excitement among fans and industry observers alike.
