The Grand Ole Opry Goes Global With First International Show At London’s Royal Albert Hall

For the first time in its 100-year history, the legendary Grand Ole Opry is going international. On Friday, September 26, Nashville’s most famous stage will take over London’s Royal Albert Hall, marking a historic moment for country music fans across the globe.

As part of its Opry 100 celebrations, the Opry will bring a stacked lineup of country royalty across the pond. Fans can expect show-stopping performances from Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Darius Rucker, and the legendary Marty Stuart, with more artists still to be announced.

The Opry, which began as a humble radio broadcast in 1925, has grown into the beating heart of country music. Its London debut not only celebrates a century of unforgettable moments but also signals the genre’s continued global rise. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 23 at 10 AM BST, via the Royal Albert Hall website.

This is more than just a concert, it’s a cultural moment. The Opry’s presence in London brings country music to a new stage, a new audience, and opens the door for even more international expansion.

The members of the Grand Ole Opry who are set to take to the stage shared their excitement on social media. Carly Pearce said “ Grand Ole Opry Live in London is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I’m so excited for this!“, Ashley McBryde chimed in with “Opry 100. In London? At Royal Albert Hall? DON’T MIND IF I DO!! I’ll see you there!” and Marty Stuart “We can’t wait to bring the @opry to @royalalberthall in London, for the first time ever!”
