Grand Ole Opry turns 100 in 2025, and a special series of ‘Opry at the Ryman’ shows have been planned to mark the impressive milestone. The concerts will take place at the original home of the long-running country music radio broadcast, Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium. The festivities start with a January 3 showcase paying tribute to the Opry’s longest-tenured member, Bill Anderson, featuring appearances from Charlie Worsham, Charlie McCoy, and Craig Morgan. Over the following weeks, additional ‘Opry at the Ryman’ shows are scheduled, featuring performances from country stars and Opry veterans Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, Lainey Wilson, and others, who will all honor the Opry’s illustrious 100-year history. “We’ve spent our first 99 years creating pivotal moments in country music’s history, welcoming new members to the family, watching dreams come true, and providing you with long-lasting memories,” shared Opry organizers. “We’re pushing the boundaries of country music and the Opry in 2025 with our most ambitious and exciting shows yet.” (Holler)
