Dolly Parton has not been out on the road since her “Pure & Simple” tour wrapped up in 2016, with only scattered one-off full concerts in the years since. So fans have an understanding of just how rare shows by the country-pop superstar are as background to the announcement she made Monday morning: Parton will be doing a six-concert run at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December.
Officially named “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas,” the mini-residency will run at the resort from Dec. 4 through Dec. 13. Fans will of course be hoping for an extension on that, given the likely demand, but for now, at least, it’s just a half-dozen shows… all happening during National Finals Rodeo, when country stars have been known to take a special liking to Vegas bookings.
