The longest running radio show in US history, The Grand Ole Opry, is going international as part of their 100-year celebration. The program will air its very first Trans-Atlantic show live from London’s Royal Albert Hall, September 26. 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. Tickets for The Grand Ole Opry Live in London are on sale at royalalberthall.com. For those of us who can’t travel across the pond for this once-in-a-lifetime show, fans will be able to stream it at opry.com.
