Opry’s First-Ever London Concert Adds Huge Guest Artists — And a BBC Broadcast

The beating heart of country music is heading across the pond.

The Grand Ole Opry just revealed new details about its first-ever international broadcast, Grand Ole Opry: Live in London, and the lineup is bigger than ever.

On Friday, September 26, 2025, Opry members Marty Stuart, Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, and Darius Rucker will take the stage at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall. And now, the Opry has announced that Grammy-winning British folk-rock band Mumford & Sons and Scottish folk band Breabach will join the historic night.

For fans at home, the Opry confirmed that the performance will air across the UK on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2, with a radio broadcast on October 2 at 7 p.m. local time. A TV special will follow later in October, with both shows available for a month afterward on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds. In the U.S., fans can tune in live on WSM Radio and Opry.com.

“This landmark year for the Opry comes at an ideal moment, as country music experiences an extraordinary surge in global popularity, particularly in the United Kingdom,” said Colin Reed, Executive Chairman of Opry Entertainment Group’s parent company, Ryman Hospitality Properties. “We look forward to bringing this show to people across the UK and are pleased to partner with the BBC to share this historic moment.”

SVP and Opry Executive Producer Dan Rogers added, “True to one of the Opry’s most time-honored traditions, the mix of Opry members and special guests promises exclusive collaborations never heard before that will pay tribute to the genre’s past and future.”

🎟️ Tickets are nearly sold out, but a limited selection — including Gallery Standing tickets — will be released through the Royal Albert Hall box office on September 12 at 10 a.m.

Fans who want a once-in-a-lifetime experience can also bid through Julien’s Auctions for premium tickets, rehearsal access, and signed memorabilia, with proceeds going to the Opry Trust Fund.

This concert is one of many events celebrating the Opry’s 100th anniversary in 2025, alongside TV specials, limited-edition releases, and new exhibits.
