There’s no stage in country music quite like the Grand Ole Opry.

Tonight, Russell Dickerson returns to the legendary venue as part of the Opry’s ongoing 100th anniversary celebration. Joining him on the lineup are country favorites The Oak Ridge Boys, Collin Raye and Mae Estes.

For Dickerson, it’s another opportunity to perform on one of country music’s most iconic stages—a place every country artist dreams of playing.

The Grand Ole Opry has spent the past year celebrating its centennial with special performances featuring both country legends and today’s biggest stars. Fans have been treated to unique collaborations, surprise guests and unforgettable moments honoring country music’s rich history.

Even after 100 years, an invitation to perform at the Opry remains one of the highest honors in country music.

Whether you’re seeing it in person or following along from home, nights like this are a reminder of why the Grand Ole Opry continues to be the heart of country music.
