A lineup of performances for Wednesday night’s “Opry 100: A Live Celebration” special on NBC has been revealed, with many of today’s top country superstars slated to pay tribute to the legends of previous generations, and some doing their own enduring hits as well.
One First Couple of Country will salute another First Couple when Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood team up to honor the late George Jones and Tammy Wynette on the show, which will also be available for viewing on Peacock.
Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash are the other country couple who will be feted with a tribute, delivered by the duo of Jelly Roll and Ashley McBryde.
Reba McEntire will do double-duty, as tributes go, performing in dual appreciation of Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn, who were close friends before Cline’s career was cut tragically short.
Kelsea Ballerini will sing Barbara Mandrell’s biggest hit, “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool,” introduced by Mandrell herself, who is retired from performing.
Dolly Parton will get her own tribute segment, naturally, in the hands of a young star with her own independent streak, Carly Pearce.
Keith Urban is scheduled to sing “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” a well-known hit by Crystal Gayle, while Gayle will be watching from the crowd.
And Charley Pride will get a musical testimonial from Aloe Blacc and the McCrary Sisters, performing the late singer’s “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin.”’And Charley Pride will get a musical testimonial from Aloe Blacc and the McCrary Sisters, performing the late singer’s “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin’.”
Not all of the performances will be tributes, per se. Travis Tritt will sing his own “T.R.O.U.B.L.E.” — although his duet partner for the night’s performance, crossover star Post Malone, will certainly be paying close-up homage to one of the country hitmakers he grew up on.
On his ongoing farewell tour, Alan Jackson plans to play his iconic hit, “Chattahoochee,” himself.
Jackson will hardy be the only representative of ’90s country on hand, as the show’s host, Blake Shelton, will be joined by two of the biggest stars of the era, Trace Adkins and Clint Black, for what is being described as “a nostalgic ‘90s party jam.”
That rollout of material doesn’t reveal the entirety of what will be performed on Wednesday’s show, which is also scheduled to include performances by Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Allison Krauss & Union Station, Lady A, Jamey Johnson, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, the War and Treaty, Ricky Skaggs, Steven Curtis Chapman and Terri Clark.
The three-hour broadcast will take place live from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, with additional pre-recorded segments filmed at the Opry’s previous home, the Ryman Auditorium.
The show airs Wednesday from 8-11 ET/PT on NBC, simulcast on Peacock.
