Opry NextStage Live To Showcase Class of 2026 During CMA Fest
The Grand Ole Opry’s next “Opry NextStage Live” showcase is set for June 3 at Category 10 in Nashville during CMA Fest.
The one-night-only event will highlight country music’s top emerging talent from the Opry NextStage Class of 2026, and the lineup features several members of this year’s NextStage class, including Willow Avalon, Graham Barham, Tyler Braden, Carter Faith, Alexandra Kay, Emily Ann Roberts, and Jake Worthington.
Tickets are now on sale here. A portion of all ticket sales will be donated to the CMA Foundation to benefit music education. The event’s host and additional performers will be announced at a later date.
Since its launch in 2019, Opry NextStage alumni have gone on to chart 43 No. 1 singles, headline arena tours, earn CMA, ACM, and Grammy awards, and more. NextStage alum Lainey Wilson’s name now hangs on the Opry member wall.
