The longest running radio show in US history, The Grand Ole Opry, is going international as part of their 100-year celebration.

The official press release promises nothing short of an unforgettable night with performances from Opry members Luke Combs, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pierce, Darius Rucker and Marty Stewart. Keeping with tradition and regular programming format, each artist will perform two to four songs with a few surprises sprinkled throughout the show.
