Opry 100: A Live Celebration

Opry 100: A Live Celebration is a three-hour television concert special to commemorate the 100th birthday of the Grand Ole Opry. Produced by Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco and Linda Gierahn, it aired live from the Grand Ole Opry House on March 19, 2025, on NBC and was streamed simultaneously on Peacock. The show also featured some performances which were pre-recorded at the Ryman Auditorium. The special was hosted by Opry member Blake Shelton, with voiceover from Opry member Scotty McCreery, and featured performances and tributes to the history of the Opry and its contribution to country music. Over 50 of the Opry's 75 living members either performed or were featured in the special, or were in attendance. The event marked the final time that Opry members Jeannie Seely and Stu Phillips would make appearances on behalf of the Opry prior to their respective deaths later in 2025.
Red carpet coverage was hosted by Kelly Sutton on E! News, NBC and the Opry's official YouTube channels. The special is part of a series of Opry licensed television productions produced as part of NBC's purchase of a minority stake in the brand in 2022.

Performers

Almost all of the performers on the special were Grand Ole Opry members, with the exception of The McCrary Sisters, The War and Treaty, Amy Grant, Yolanda Adams, Post Malone, Aloe Blacc, and Eric Church. Jelly Roll was also scheduled to perform, but did not appear. The finale performance of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" was cut from the television broadcast but was later released on the Opry's social media channels and included in the Peacock broadcast.
