Opry To Celebrate ‘Rhinestone Milestone’ Birthday All Month In October
The Opry’s 100th “Rhinestone Milestone” birthday will be celebrated this October with four weeks of special birthday shows, plaza parties, fan activations, surprises and more.
Unique “Rhinestone Milestone” birthday packages in honor of the anniversary include a ticket to a Saturday Opry birthday show and access to the preshow Birthday Tailgate Party held in Studio A where iconic TV shows like Hee-Haw, Nashville, and CMT Crossroads were filmed. The tailgate will feature a live set from a hit songwriter, a behind-the-scenes tour, birthday cake and an exclusive commemorative poster.
Ongoing celebrations this year include an “Opry 100 Honors” series of shows sponsored by Dan Post paying tribute to several of the icons who have helped shape the Opry’s first century: “Opry 100 Honors Charlie Daniels” (July 8), “Opry 100 Honors Porter Wagoner” (Aug. 12), “Opry 100 Honors Bill Monroe” (Sept. 16) and “Opry 100 Honors Minnie Pearl and Roy Acuff” (Oct. 18).
Opry’s first-ever live international broadcast from London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall will take place on Sept. 26 with Opry members Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Darius Rucker and Marty Stuart headlining.
On Nov. 28, the Opry will also celebrate the 100th anniversary of its Nov. 28, 1925 inaugural broadcast with an all-star Opry member show, with more details to come.
