Get ready, country fans—this is not your average night at the Opry.
NBC is bringing the heart of Nashville into your living room with a once-in-a-century celebration: Opry 100: A Live Celebration, a three-hour primetime special airing March 19.
Hosted by the ever-charismatic Blake Shelton, this all-star tribute to the Grand Ole Opry’s 100th anniversary is packing in more country legends than a Hall of Fame playlist.
Reba McEntire, Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, Vince Gill, Trisha Yearwood, Carly Pearce, Kelsea Ballerini, and Lainey Wilson are just a few of the powerhouse performers taking the stage.
And that’s just the beginning.
The celebration will also include appearances from icons like Randy Travis, Amy Grant, Eric Church, Jelly Roll, and The War and Treaty—making this a lineup you do not want to miss.
“We’re pleased to partner with our Grand Ole Opry members to create a truly unforgettable evening,” said Patrick Moore, CEO of Opry Entertainment Group. “This special night of programming will connect millions of country music fans to the magic of the Opry.”
The goal? To make sure every fan—whether they’re front row in Nashville or watching from their couch—feels the magic of the Opry’s 100th year.
The special will also serve as a touching full-circle moment for Reba McEntire, who recently celebrated her own Opry anniversary. The country queen became an official member back on January 17, 1986, nearly a decade after she first stepped onto the legendary stage.
That debut, by the way, was a little bumpy.
“I was supposed to sing two songs,” Reba recalled in an interview with The Tennessean. “But they came to me when I got there and said, ‘Oh, we’re going to have to cut you down to one song because Dolly Parton just pulled up into the driveway and she’s going to take one of your songs.’”
Yep—only at the Opry.
Since then, Reba has been a beloved staple of the Opry family. In 2018, she inducted Dustin Lynch, and just this year, she invited Lainey Wilson to join the prestigious circle.
Don’t miss this historic celebration.
📺 Opry 100: A Live Celebration airs Wednesday, March 19 on NBC, and will also stream on Peacock.
Whether you’re a die-hard country fan or just in it for the nostalgia and star power, this is a celebration 100 years in the making—and it’s going to be one for the books.
