Blake Shelton will host 100th anniversary Grand Ole Opry special March 19, with performances by Carrie Underwood, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and more

The legendary Grand Ole Opry, “country’s most famous stage,” will be the focus of the upcoming NBC special "Opry 100: A Live Celebration."

The Grand Ole Opry hits the century mark this year, and NBC is celebrating by bringing the radio fixture to TV screens nationwide. An all-star concert special called Opry 100: A Live Celebration is coming to NBC and Peacock on March 19 from 8-11 p.m. ET.

Fifteen living CMA or ACM Entertainers of the Year are not members of the Grand Ole Opry, and a few of them barely recognize the vaunted stage. George Strait, Kenny Chesney and Willie Nelson are three legends who rarely play the Grand Ole Opry. Why?

Country music’s finest are coming together to commemorate 100 years of Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry with a one-of-a-kind celebration airing live via NBC and Peacock on March 19.

The telecast will be executive produced by Silent House Productions’ Emmy Award winners Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco and Linda Gierahn, along with R.A. Clark and Steve Buchanan. A limited amount of tickets will go on sale starting Jan. 31 at 10 a.m. CT on the Opry’s website, while a pre-sale for Opry subscribers will launch Jan. 30 at 10 a.m. CT.

Vince Gill, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood will perform along with Shelton during the NBC-televised special.
