Dolly Parton is set to bring her boundless energy to Tampa’s AMALIE Arena on November 26, 2016 at 7:30 PM as she continues her first major U.S. and Canadian tour in more than 25 years. Tickets for Parton’s Pure & Simple tour go on sale Friday, July 22 at 10:00 AM.
As one of the hottest concert tickets of 2016, Parton’s legion of fans are destined to sell out the shows quickly. Parton’s set list will include hit songs all while weaving in a few new songs from her new album Pure & Simple, set for release this summer. She will also be playing songs that have not been heard live for decades.
“We’re so excited to get out there and see the fans again. I’m really looking forward to singing songs the fans have not heard in a while, as well as the hits, while debuting a few new ones off Pure & Simple,” Parton said.
The entertainment icon is on one of the biggest hot streaks of her career after her hugely successful TV movie, “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors,” attracted a network record of more than 15.8 million viewers. It was the most watched movie on network TV in more than three years and was released earlier this year.
