The Grand Ole Opry unveiled a brand new stage featuring major upgrades during Saturday night’s show (Feb. 4).

The new staging is part of more than $4 million in venue upgrades to the set, audio/visual technology, and auditorium, including a new Barn with new lighting elements and capabilities, a 52’ w x 27’ high resolution Ross/D3 video wall upstage of the barn set, a completely new JBL A Series PA system, and more.

Artists scheduled to appear on the Opry in the coming weeks include Bill Anderson, Vince Gill, Chris Janson, Jamey Johnson, Lady A, Dustin Lynch, Ashley McBryde, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice, Darius Rucker, Lainey Wilson, and many others.
