Dolly Parton's 2011 Australian Tour
The tour began on 17 July 2011 in Knoxville, Tennessee, with proceeds from the inaugural concert donated to the Imagination Library, a branch of Parton's Dollywood Foundation. Footage from her performance at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, on 22-23 November 2011, was recorded for a live DVD.
Parton's 2011 Australian tour was almost cancelled due to her 14.5-metre-long tour bus, which was deemed too large for Australian roads. However, the tour was saved when the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, intervened as the federal transport minister. In response, Parton personally thanked Albanese during her tour, inviting him onstage to "smear lip gloss all over" him.
The 2011 tour was Parton's most successful European and Australian tour in her 45-plus-year career, with record-breaking attendances in both continents.
