Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Dolly Parton isn’t showing any signs of backing down from her proclamation that she thinks her touring days are over.

But fans will yet have an opportunity to go see her music performed in concert, with orchestral renditions and Parton participating via appearances on a big screen, as part of a “multimedia symphonic story-telling experience” that will hit the road in 2025. “Dolly Parton’s Threads: My Songs in Symphony” was announced Tuesday by Parton and her co-producers on the project, Schirmer Theatrical and Sony Music Publishing.

The tour’s first date will take place with the Nashville Symphony on March 20, 2025, with dates in other cities with local orchestras to follow.

The announcement for the unusual project says that “Threads” will feature “Dolly’s songs and the stories behind them in an innovative multimedia symphonic experience featuring Dolly on screen, leading audiences in a visual-musical journey of her songs, her life and her stories.” The program will have the orchestras “accompanied by guest vocalists and musicians” and feature “new and innovative orchestrations” of her signature songs, arranged by David Hamilton. “I’m just so excited to share my songs and the stories behind them in this beautiful new way,” Parton said in a statement. “‘Threads: My Songs in Symphony’is like a journey through the heartstrings of my life.
