Jelly Roll and Luke Combs are among the special guests and performers who will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry this March.

On Wednesday, 19 March, a live concert event, Opry 100: A Live Celebration, will air on NBC (and stream on Peacock). The three-hour tribute event will be hosted by Blake Shelton, with Opry members including Luke Combs, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, and more set to take the stage throughout the night.

Additional Opry favourites, such as Jelly Roll, Eric Church, Amy Grant, and The War And Treaty, have been announced to take part in the anniversary event.

Billboard reports performances will be held from two Nashville locations: the Grand Ole Opry House and the famed Ryman Auditorium.

Limited tickets on the Opry website will be available from Friday, 31 January, at 10 am CT. A pre-sale for Opry subscribers will begin on Thursday, 30 January, at 10 am CT.

In a statement, Blake Shelton said he’s “proud” to participate in the 100th anniversary event for the Grand Ole Opry, describing his induction as a “highlight” of his life and career.

“Becoming a member of the Opry is a highlight of my life and career, and 15 years later, I still get that same feeling of reverence and excitement every time I walk out on that stage,” Shelton said. “The Grand Ole Opry has been connecting the country music family for 100 years, and I’m so proud to be part of this historic celebration.”

Opry Entertainment Group CEO Patrick Moore stated that the anniversary event will be a “special night of programming” that’s set to “connect millions of country music fans to the magic of the Opry, and we hope it inspires them to join us in Nashville as we celebrate this milestone all year long.” 

The official telecast will be executive-produced by Silent House Productions’ Emmy Award winners Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco, and Linda Gierahn, as well as R.A. Clark and Steve Buchanan.

Silent House Productions’ President Mark Bracco said, “It’s a true privilege to be a part of celebrating 100 years of the Grand Ole Opry, an iconic stage that has welcomed so many legendary artists who’ve shaped the heart of country music.

“We’re humbled and honored to help bring this historic moment to life, paying tribute to the voices and stories that have made the Opry an enduring symbol of musical history.”
