As the world remembers the incomparable Dolly Parton and the extraordinary legacy of music, joy and kindness she leaves behind, this Saturdayโ€™s Country Superstars at The Helix will be an especially poignant celebration of the Queen of Country and the music she gave to generations of fans.

At the heart of the show is Sarah Jayne, Europeโ€™s leading tribute to Dolly, who has celebrated her music on stage for more than 30 years. Sarah had the privilege of meeting Dolly personally and receiving her endorsement โ€“ a connection that makes this weekendโ€™s performance particularly meaningful.

Alongside Dollyโ€™s much-loved music, Country Superstars celebrates some of the biggest names in country, including Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Tammy Wynette, Shania Twain, Garth Brooks, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs and more. Join us for songs including โ€œJoleneโ€, โ€œ9 to 5โ€, โ€œIslands in the Streamโ€, โ€œThe Gamblerโ€, โ€œRing of Fireโ€, โ€œMan! I Feel Like a Womanโ€ and many more.

With the show taking place tomorrow night, this is your last chance to secure tickets and join us for a celebration of country music and the enduring legacy of one of its greatest stars.
