Dolly Parton shares new details on upcoming “Life of Many Colors” museum in Nashville
[media-credit name=”Instagram” link=”https://www.instagram.com/p/DJnQC3VtYdY” width=1350 align=”center”]
[/media-credit]Country legend Dolly Parton, now seventy-nine years old, has teased fresh details about her highly-anticipated Life of Many Colors Museum, set to launch in Nashville, Tennessee. Scheduled to open in 2026, the museum will be located on the third floor of the brand-new SongTeller Hotel, promising a deeply personal and immersive experience “through the eyes of Dolly herself”.
A recent announcement introduced Parton’s Hall of Fame Exhibit—a featured section within the museum dedicated to celebrating Parton’s career achievements, particularly her 21st-century successes. The exhibit will spotlight iconic elements from her life, including glamorous wardrobe pieces, prestigious awards, and visual content that underscores her enduring cultural impact. Guests will have the opportunity to enjoy the space and even snap photos from what’s described as a platform stage.
This immersive museum will open alongside the already-launched Journey of a Seeker Exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. Running now through September 2026, that exhibit explores various facets of Parton’s legacy—from her trailblazing music and film roles to her philanthropic efforts through the Imagination Library. Highlights include her original handwritten draft of ‘Jolene’, costumes from the film ‘9 to 5’, a custom-built banjo, and other treasured memorabilia.
As Parton’s SongTeller Hotel takes shape as “a hub of music, style, and hospitality designed the Dolly-way”, renderings and sneak peeks have been shared on the venue’s Instagram since early June—building excitement for what promises to be a dazzling tribute to her expansive career.

Boiler Room, a global music platform known for connecting club culture and local music communities to the world and Patrón Tequila, the world’s number one super-premium tequila¹, are igniting the music scene with a new global partnership. As leaders in their respective worlds, both Patrón and Boiler Room choose craft over convention, celebrate authenticity, and deliver unforgettable experiences like no other. United in these shared values, this partnership comes to life through a bespoke event and content series in nightlife hotspots Ibiza, London and Los Angeles.
[media-credit name=”Courtesy” width=2400 align=”center”]
[/media-credit]Each Boiler Room x Patrón show will be co-produced with globally renowned artists fusing local soundscapes, community, and craftsmanship in dynamic spaces designed to leave a lasting mark. As Boiler Room’s official global tequila partner, Patrón will power these live experiences, connecting music lovers and club-goers at key cultural hubs.
The first highly anticipated Boiler Room x Patrón Tequila event will debut in Ibiza on Thursday, August 14, featuring a meticulously curated lineup by a very special guest. Expect a celebratory collision of Latin and afrodiasporic rhythms: from amapiano to afro house, dembow to champeta. Against the backdrop of Ibiza’s electric nightlife, the event will host multiple artists playing back-to-back eclectic sets that embody the culture and community. As with all Boiler Room shows, fans worldwide can immerse themselves in this collaboration by tuning into performances on Boiler Room TV and accessing performance clips by following along on social media.

To make the experience even more special for fans at home, each Boiler Room x PATRÓN event will include a custom content series featuring intimate, behind-the-scenes interviews with headlining artists. These pieces blend honest conversation with vivid visual storytelling to understand how these artists bring their ideas to life.
“Patrón Tequila’s journey through music has thrived for more than three decades—we’re not just observing the scene, we’re actively influencing it”, said Roberto Ramirez-Laverde, Global Senior Vice President, Patrón Tequila. “Our partnership with Boiler Room is the next beat in our deep-rooted commitment to music and culture. Guided by our shared belief—that greatness comes from leading with authenticity, not following the crowd, together we’re creating spaces where greatness rises as music, community, and spirits converge—delivering memorable moments that move culture forward.”
A closer look at the partnership…
Multi-City Global Activations: An exclusive event series presented by PATRÓN will bring unparalleled live music experiences to key cultural hubs, including Ibiza, London and Los Angeles.

Elevated Patrón El Tequila Experiences: Each private event will feature dedicated Patrón bars and custom cocktail menus, with the new Patrón El Tequila as the featured offering. This impressively rare and masterfully aged tequila, primarily crafted with Extra Añejo and blended with Añejo and Reposado tequilas, each aged to their maximum potential, represents the pinnacle of perfection. The prestige tequila category is indeed experiencing remarkable growth, projected to double in size by this year as consumers increasingly trade up for higher quality sips and luxury bottlings such as Patrón El Alto. This makes it the perfect pour for celebrating the standout moments that define this cultural partnership.
“This partnership feels inevitable in the best possible way”, said Jack Hart, VP Partnerships at Boiler Room. “Both Patrón and Boiler Room have always championed creativity and craft in music. We’re taking that shared mindset into this series by celebrating some of the more forward-thinking artists in our world.”

More about Cash Cobain:
The tour follows a breakout year for the Bronx artist-producer, who sold out the Brooklyn Paramount last fall in his biggest headlining show to date and brought his signature Sexy Drill sound to the stage at his own Slizzy Fest, a hometown concert last spring at Irving Plaza that drew thousands and was shut down mid-performance due to overwhelming demand. With his name now joining the ranks of past Outbreak Tour alumni like 21 Savage, Latto, and Post Malone, Cash Cobain enters this next chapter of this legendary concert series poised to bring the Slizzy movement to a national stage.

Lil Wayne heads to New York’s Madison Square Garden for headlining debut
It feels like Lil Wayne headlined Madison Square Garden already, but he hasn’t. How?
[media-credit name=”Courtesy of the label; Ramona Rosales” width=1280 align=”center”]
[/media-credit]Recently, Lil Wayne, one of the world’s highly skilled master rappers and celebrated businessmen responsible for gifting us Drake and Nicki Minaj announced his headlining debut concert at the iconic and legendary Madison Square Garden. On June 6, the Louisiana-bred superstar will commemorate the release of his fittingly so star-studded forthcoming album, ‘Tha Carter IV’. This album is the follow-up to his first solo studio project since the release of ‘Funeral’ in 2020.

According to several reports, an official tracklist has yet to surface but there was talk of an uncleared Billie Eilish collaboration amid an interview with Rolling Stone. Some artists mentioned during the interview are Miley Cyrus, Machine Gun Kelly, Bono, Elephant Man and his talented son Kameron Carter, which tells me Lil Wayne may potentially have the world tuning in, streaming and purchasing his new album, ‘Tha Carter IV’. There are also whispers about the polarising musical genius Kanye West, or Ye, being on his highly-anticipated album.

I might be predicting too far into the future, but I think June 6 will be a great day in New York City because his fans get to witness Tunechi at this level for the first time in his career.
With his staggering influence on Hip-Hop culture, it is well overdue. We anticipate who he will bring to join him on such an iconic night. We hope it includes New York City’s darling Queen Nicki Minaj and her longtime collaborator and Canada’s global musical icon Drake. It would be interesting to see.
