A Celebration Steeped in History and Emotion
For artists and fans alike, the Grand Ole Opry is more than just a stage—it’s the heartbeat of country music. As Kelsea Ballerini puts it, “You walk into the Opry House, and you feel the history and the richness of the stories and the people who made country music what it is.” Likewise, Luke Combs reflects on the honor of standing on such an iconic stage, saying, “Getting to be here and be part of that history is a badge of honor.”
A Legendary Lineup of Country’s Biggest Stars
The live broadcast will feature performances from Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Lainey Wilson, Vince Gill, Dierks Bentley, Carly Pearce, and more.
Adding a special touch to the evening, Reba McEntire will pay tribute to Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, while Post Malone and Travis Tritt will perform Tritt’s classic hit “T.R.O.U.B.L.E.” In another highly anticipated moment, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will honor George Jones and Tammy Wynette with a moving duet.
Honoring the Pioneers of Country Music
From tributes to Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash by Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde, to Aloe Blacc and The McCrary Sisters honoring Charley Pride with “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’”, the night will be filled with emotional nods to the legends who shaped country music.
Performances will take place at both the Grand Ole Opry House and the historic Ryman Auditorium, the Opry’s original home and the sacred ground where country music’s greatest stories began.
