14 DAY TRIAL // Look out, Tennessee, there are wild things coming your way! After she rocked the house and crowds at the Glastonbury Festival in Great Britain last week, Dolly Parton has gotten a few bright ideas about what she can do to recreate the atmosphere, except in the home of country music.
Although Dolly played to British crowds, who aren't known for their preferences in country music, she managed to woo audiences and made them sing along to hits such as “Jolene” and “9 to 5.” Now she wants to recreate the atmosphere by organizing her own festival back home.
“'I have a lotta land up near east Tennessee, and we do a lot of festivals through my Dollywood company. I've often thought I might start my own festival in Tennessee, or maybe I'll get some good pointers from this one,” Dolly said during the press conference at the Glastonbury Festival, after her Worthy Farm performance.
The country legend mentioned that she would be turning to Glastonbury initiator Michael Eavis for some precious hints, “I think I'm going to do that - Michael can give me some tips. Why wouldn't I want something like this?”
Even on the stage, Parton admitted that she felt very good at the festival, “I'm so excited to be part of this whole thing. I'm just a country girl, and now I feel like a rock star.”
