Blake Shelton will host 100th anniversary Grand Ole Opry special March 19, with performances by Carrie Underwood, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson and more

The legendary Grand Ole Opry, “country’s most famous stage,” will be the focus of the upcoming NBC special "Opry 100: A Live Celebration."

Country music’s finest are coming together to commemorate 100 years of Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry with a one-of-a-kind celebration airing live via NBC and Peacock on March 19.

The Grand Ole Opry hits the century mark this year, and NBC is celebrating by bringing the radio fixture to TV screens nationwide. An all-star concert special called Opry 100: A Live Celebration is coming to NBC and Peacock on March 19 from 8-11 p.m. ET.

Fifteen living CMA or ACM Entertainers of the Year are not members of the Grand Ole Opry, and a few of them barely recognize the vaunted stage. George Strait, Kenny Chesney and Willie Nelson are three legends who rarely play the Grand Ole Opry. Why?

Vince Gill, Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood will perform along with Shelton during the NBC-televised special.

A who's who of country music artists will help the Grand Ole Opry celebrate its 100th anniversary when the live event concert, Opry 100: A Live Celebration, airs live on NBC (and simulcast on Peacock) on Wednesday,
