DOLLY PARTON ANNOUNCES THE EUROPEAN DATES FOR 2014 ANNOUNCES AUSTRALIAN DATES 'BLUE SMOKE WORLD TOUR'

Iconic songstress Dolly Parton has announced details for her 2014 world tour, to be called "Blue Smoke World Tour." The anticipated event will include stops all over Australia and Europe, including England, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, Norway, and London.

Dolly's latest studio album of all new material 'Blue Smoke' will be released worldwide on Dolly Records with a release date to be announced soon.

"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," adds Parton. "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'."

Dolly went on to say, "Australia, here I come again! We have a lot of new and exciting things for the show and can't wait to share it with you. I love my fans in that part of the world. You've been so very good to me for so many years and I know that we're gonna have a wonderful time. It's a long way from home in your part of the world, but I always feel like I'm right at home. So Australia, I'm coming home. Wait up!"
