The Opry Celebrates ‘Summer Of The Century’

May 11, 2026/by Lorie Hollabaugh

The Grand Ole Opry is celebrating “Summer Of The Century” in its 100th year as they turn up the heat this season with an array of artists, shows and special celebrations all season long.

The “Summer Of The Century” will feature star-studded lineups on special shows that will include the traditional superstar-studded CMA Fest week, an Opry 100 Honors show, a ’90s country celebration, backstage tours, and a weekly Outdoor Concert Series. June 2-6 the Opry celebrates CMA Fest with Carrie Underwood, Avery Anna, Jordan Davis, Maddox Batson, Deana Carter and more taking the stage.

On June 10 Keith Urban, Trisha Yearwood, Rodney Crowell and other stars will pay tribute to country’s “Gentle Giant” Don Williams and the songs that dominated decades of country radio. Several weeks later on June 28, the Opry will feature a special Throwback show celebrating the artists, the songs, and the neo-traditional sound that defined the ’90s.

Every Friday and Saturday, the Opry’s Free Outdoor Concert Series will set the tone for an unforgettable Opry evening where fans can soak in the sunset and catch local acts on the plaza stage before the show. Tickets are on sale now for all Opry 2026 shows through December 2026 at opry.com.
