Beta Night
We’re so excited to announce a brand-new Beta-only event to be held at the Grand Ole Opry during the 2026 National Convention. This is a separately-ticketed event offered only to National Convention attendees. Seating in this historic venue is limited – only 4,000 tickets per event will be available!
The Grand Ole Opry show itself is a live broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry radio show, featuring a variety of artists, live announcers, and on-air commercials. It’s the longest running live radio show in history and it’s known as the show that made country music famous. It’s a one-of-a-kind concert experience that appeals to a wide range of musical tastes, from country legends to new stars, bluegrass, comedy, and everything in between.

Accessible seating is limited and can be assigned with Opry House upon arrival. One companion may accompany an individual requiring accessible seating.
Who will perform?
