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.
