Band Perry in concert as part of the Showcase of Stars on Saturday, Sept. 19. Tickets to The

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.
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 passholders have the first opportunity to purchase tickets to the show. Passholders 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.
