The Band Perry added to Dollywood’s Showcase of Stars

Dollywood announced today that the park is hosting The Band Perry in concert as part of the Showcase of Stars on Saturday, Sept. 19, 2015. Tickets to The Band Perry concert go on sale to Dollywood season pass holders on Friday, Aug. 21.

One of the most dynamic acts in music today, the sibling trio proved to be a powerful new force when they delivered their platinum self-titled debut: The Band Perry, which offered up five hit singles, including the quintuple-platinum chart-topper “If I Die Young.” In recent years, the band has earned multiple awards from The Academy of Country Music, The Country Music Association, CMT Music Awards and The American Country Awards including a 2014 ACM award for Vocal Group of the Year.

Earlier this month, The Band Perry released the song “Live Forever,” the first single off their upcoming third album, and debuted the video on the cable channel CMT.

This is the first time the group from nearby Greeneville, Tenn. has performed at Dollywood.

Dolly Parton announced the return of Dollywood’s popular Showcase of Stars concert series in March as part of the award-winning park’s 30th anniversary season. Parton, whose last benefit concert at Dollywood was in 2005, kicked off the series with four sold-out concerts Aug. 8-9 at D.P.’s Celebrity Theater, and raised $500,000 in the process. Showcase of Stars offers guests the experience of great performances in an intimate setting, while allowing them to simultaneously support a worthy cause. Dollywood season pass holders have the first opportunity to purchase tickets to the show. Pass holders will receive an email with an exclusive link to purchase. Any remaining tickets will be made available to the general public at a later date.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a literacy program administered through the Dollywood Foundation, which provides an age appropriate book each month to children from birth to age five in participating communities. To date, the Imagination Library has provided more than 70 million books in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
