Additional guests will be announced at a later date, per an NBC press release issued Monday (January 27).

“Becoming a member of the Opry is a highlight of my life and career, and 15 years later I still get that same feeling of reverence and excitement every time I walk out on that stage,” Shelton said in a statement. “The Grand Ole Opry has been connecting the country music family for 100 years, and I’m so proud to be part of this historic celebration.”

Opry 100: A Live Celebration will honor the show that made country famous since its debut in 1925. The show will include powerful collaborations, unforgettable moments over the years and more. Patrick Moore, CEO of Opry Entertainment Group, said in a statement that the show “will connect millions of country music fans to the magic of the Opry, and we hope it inspires them to join us in Nashville as we celebrate this milestone all year long.”

Performances will take place at the Grand Ole Opry and at the historic Ryman Auditorium — known as the Mother Church of Country Music and the former location of the Opry — in Nashville, Tennessee, the release states.

The show is set to air on NBC on Wednesday, March 19 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET. It will also be available to watch on Peacock. Tickets will be available on Friday (January 31) at 10 a.m. CT.
