FOREST HILLS — Dolly Parton is coming to Forest Hills Stadium this summer after a 25-year hiatus from touring in North America, according to organizers.
The seven-time Grammy winner announced Tuesday that she will perform at the Queens venue on June 25 during her “Pure & Simple” tour.
“We’re so excited to go out there and see the fans again,” Parton said in a press release.
The tour, which will go to more than 60 cities, is named after her upcoming album "Pure & Simple with Dolly's Biggest Hits."
The Country Music Hall of Fame legend is just one of the highly anticipated artists coming to the open-air stadium this summer. Paul Simon, Bob Dylan and Mumford & Sons also have concerts slated there.
The stadium, which reopened in 2013 with a multi-million dollar overhaul, will also be home to the tennis team New York Empire and its marquee player Andy Roddick.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, April 16, at 10 a.m. at ForestHillsStadium.com. American Express cardholders can purchase pre-sale tickets starting Tuesday, April 12, at 12 p.m.
