The Grand Ole Opry's night at London's Royal Albert Hall is going out on television, and it needs two of them. MusicRow reported on 19 August 2026 that the show, staged last September, will run as the first Opry Live special broken into two parts.
Grand Ole Opry: Live In London airs on 22 and 29 August at 8pm CT, on the Opry's own Facebook and YouTube channels and through its digital streaming partners Circle Country and RFD-TV.
The bill was drawn from the Opry's membership: Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Darius Rucker and Marty Stuart, with Mumford & Sons and the Scottish folk group Breabach appearing as guests.
Kelly Sutton, the Opry announcer, hosted alongside Vernon Kay of BBC Radio 2. The London date was staged as part of the Opry's 100th anniversary.
The centenary has kept the country institution busy at home too: Charlie Worsham was asked to become a member, and stage debuts have included Stella Lefty on 2 September and Josh Tatofi.
Part one goes out on 22 August and part two a week later, both at 8pm CT. Nothing has been said about a release in any other form.
