Trace Adkins, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift Among The Stars Celebrating Opry’s 85th Birthday
Some of country music’s favorite artists will be part of the excitement as the Grand Ole Opry reaches the culmination of its months-long 85th birthday celebration with a two-day Birthday Bash Oct. 8 and 9. Featuring Opry performances by award-winners Trace Adkins, Crystal Gayle, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and many more, the Bash lands just ten days after the world-famous Opry’s planned Sept. 28 return to the Grand Ole Opry House after having been displaced by flooding last spring.
“There’s so much to celebrate this year, in particular,” Parton said. “I’m looking forward to seeing all the good country music fans that weekend, and I just hope good lookin’ guys like Trace Adkins are as excited to come see me when I hit 85 as they are to celebrate with the Opry this year! Of course we don’t have to worry about my 85th for a long, long time!”
Additional Opry Birthday Bash components are set to include backstage tours of the newly-renovated Opry House; a Saturday afternoon salute to country comedy featuring T. Bubba Bechtol and Opry member Mike Snider; and a free Opry Plaza Birthday Party featuring a festival atmosphere of music, games, and more.
