Elle King Slated to Perform at Fundraising Event On Heels of Dolly Parton Tribute Backlash

Since her much-discussed Dolly Parton tribute performance at the Grand Ole Opry, Elle King has mostly steered clear of the public eye. Parton has come out and publically defended King. Now the latter looks ready to take the stage once again, this time at the Woodland Park Zoo as part of the annual ZooTunes concert series. She’ll close out the series in August after a long and eclectic list of performers take the stage.

2024 marks forty years of ZooTunes concerts. As a result, the Woodland Park Zoo is pulling out all of the stops to bring an exciting genre-spanning lineup of performers to their patrons. The series will include 13 concerts throughout June, July, and August. The lineup features King, Sierra Ferrell and Nick Shoulders, the Roots, Norah Jones, and many more.
