The Grand Ole Opry is 100 years old this year, and Nashville’s most iconic stage is marking the milestone with a full summer of programming under the banner “Summer Of The Century.” The celebration runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend and covers tribute shows, throwback nights, backstage tours, and a free weekly outdoor concert series on the Opry Plaza stage every Friday and Saturday before that evening’s show.
The summer opens with “Opry Celebrates CMA Fest” on June 2, 3, 5, and 6, featuring Carrie Underwood, Avery Anna, Jordan Davis, Maddox Batson, Deana Carter, and more. On June 10, “Opry 100 Honors: Don Williams” brings Keith Urban, Trisha Yearwood, Rodney Crowell, and others together to pay tribute to country music’s Gentle Giant and the songs that defined decades of country radio. June 28 brings “Opry Celebrates ’90s Country,” a night dedicated to big hair, high-waisted jeans, and the decade’s defining songs, with artists to be announced. Backstage tours run throughout the summer with 4 options to explore the historic Opry House. Tickets for all 2026 Opry shows through December are on sale now.
