Dolly Parton makes a return to The O2.

The iconic singer, songwriter, musician, actress and philanthropist Dolly Parton will bring her Blue Smoke show here on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 June 2014.

Dolly Parton said: "Every time I come to Europe I'm just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world and I especially love the fans. We always have such a good time and I've put together a lot of things for this show that I think the fans will love.

"We had not planned to come back so soon, but we got so much fan mail and such a great reaction that I thought "Well, why not. If they're having a good time and we always do, let's just do it'."

In 2011, Dolly continued to receive accolades for what was her most successful European and Australian tour of her 45-plus year career The Better Day World Tour! During the 2011 tour, Dolly performed for record-breaking attendances in both Europe and Australia, surpassing her previous attendance records. In 2008, Dolly performed 17 European shows to over 170,000 fans, surpassing her then-best 2007 European tour, where she played 21 shows for over 140,000 people.
