Dolly Parton, who used to live in this sweet 5th Avenue penthouse in the 1980s, will be back in NYC next week to perform a free show. The catch? It's one of those Today show concerts, and you'll need to wake up at like 5 a.m. to get there and carve out a spot. But you know what: totally worth it! This is Dolly we're talking about.

NBC just announced the show, which will take place on Tuesday, May 13th, and the network notes that this is the first time in a decade the legend will perform at Rockefeller Plaza. They also promise she'll belt out "9 to 5."

Parton is kicking off a World Tour on May 22nd... which does not include NYC, so this is your only chance!
