That’s right! This fall, the Opry is heading to London’s Royal Albert Hall. It’s their first time doing a live gig outside the U.S., which is a great way to celebrate their 100th birthday.
For a century, the Opry has been a huge thing in country music. It started in 1925 as a small radio show called WSM Barn Dance in Nashville. It became the longest-running live radio show ever. The Opry has shaped country music over the years, supporting artists and musicians. Now, it’s going global.
The show is on September 26, 2025, and it will be amazing! Opry stars like Luke Combs, Darius Rucker, Marty Stuart, Ashley McBryde, and Carly Pearce are performing. Expect to hear country classics and new hits.Vernon Kay from BBC Radio 2 and Kelly Sutton from WSM Radio are hosting. The hosts are from the UK and Nashville so it should be a fun show.
The show isn’t just a one-off. It shows that country music is getting popular worldwide. It’s a way to honor the music’s past and introduce it to new listeners.Everyone’s thrilled. Tickets are sold out fast, and there’s a long waiting list. If you’re in London, you can experience the Opry – the music, the stories, the atmosphere – without flying to the U.S.Even at 100 years old, the Grand Ole Opry isn’t slowing down. It’s taking its first international trip, bringing a bit of Nashville to London, which proves the Opry is a tradition. Now it’s a party for everyone.
