The Grand Ole Opry is celebrating its 95th anniversary with a month of events, giveaways, and performances.
The Grand Ole Opry this week announced plans for its month-long 95th-anniversary celebration, with audiences, limited to 500 people, permitted at some performances beginning Saturday, October 3.
Dierks Bentley, Terri Clark, Vince Gill, and Lorrie Morgan — all Opry members — are set to play tomorrow for the 4,944th consecutive Saturday night broadcast. Bentley was inducted on October 1, 2005, so the event will mark his 15th Opry anniversary.
Tomorrow’s show is sold-out, but tickets for other October shows are on sale. Those include:
October 10: “Opry Firsts”: Celebrating Opry debuts and other firsts on the Opry stage. Carly Pearce, Jeannie Seely, Josh Turner, and more

October 24: “Opry Goes Pink”: The Opry’s 12th Annual Show Marking the Fight Against Breast Cancer | Lauren Alaina, Little Big Town, Victoria Shaw, and more
October 31: Clint Black, Steve Wariner
Video of the shows will be broadcast live on Circle and Gray TV stations, Dish Studio Channel 102, Sling TV, and audio can be heard at WSM-AM 650 and SiriusXM.
