It looks like The Collaboration is another car on the supergroup train, and is likely the curated work of Brandi Carlile (who has been doing some supergrouping of her own with her new all-girl band The Highwomen. Their performance at the festival on Friday night was their first live show as a group. Carlile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B0aCwrbB4Td\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">called it<\/a> monumental.)<\/p>\n<p>Leading up to Saturday night\u2019s show, there was already some mystery surrounding who, exactly, The Collaboration was. All the festival\u2019s schedule said was that on Saturday evening, there would be a show from four artists represented by the Venus symbol of a circle with a small cross below it, like this \u2640\u2640\u2640\u2640.<\/p>\n<p>So enter Carlile. Then rockstar Sheryl Crow. Then newcomer Maggie Rogers. Then queen of country soul Yola. Then the always outspoken Judy Collins. And then, Parton.<\/p>\n<p>With a set list from across all genres and all eras, the larger-than-life group kept the crowd engaged and packed in tight against the stage for the last show of the night.<\/p>\n<p>All captured very well in this one fan\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dr_sparklefairy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram story<\/a>.
