Alan Jackson is returning to TV this month. The country legend is part of a new group of artists slated to perform at Opry 100: A Live Celebration.
Post Malone, Alison Krauss & Union Station and Travis Tritt also joined the lineup for an NBC special that will originate from two famed Nashville music venues. Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, Lainey Wilson, Reba McEntire and Vince Gill were previously announced as performers.
- Blake Shelton will host Opry 100 from the Grand Ole Opry.
- The show will celebrate 100 years of the Grand Ole Opry, a radio program that has become a cultural institution and must-see for country fans.
- Opry 100: A Live Celebration airs on NBC on March 19 at 8PM ET.

Jackson’s participation is notable because his performance schedule is so limited in 2025. He has just a handful of dates left on his Last Call: One More for the Road Tour, although he’s extended that tour before. In 2021, he revealed he’d been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and said his touring schedule would become more and more limited in the years to come.

After selling their spectacular Southern manor home in 2010, Alan Jackson and his wife moved to to what might be an even more impressive mansion, if that’s even possible. Their 5-bedroom, 8-bathroom, 22,012-square-foot estate in the same Nashville suburb of Franklin features bedrooms that are all well-appointed suites, while the formal dining and living areas are finished off with splendid arched doorways, oversized windows and elaborate woodwork. The residence also includes a bar, a media room and multiple indoor and outdoor fireplaces. It sold for $19 million in March of 2021.

For that reason, we’ve not included any country legends who’ve passed. That eliminates Toby Keith.
As of 2023, there are more than 70 members of the Grand Ole Opry. Historically, nearly 250 men, women and groups were members — so, it’s a select group that excludes several Country Music Hall of Famers.
