Winter Storm Fern Closes the Doors of the Grand Ole Opry—But the Show Must Go On!

In an unusual turn of events, the Grand Ole Opry has had to cancel its ticketed performance scheduled for Saturday night, January 24, due to the impending Winter Storm Fern. However, fans can still find a silver lining at home, as the Opry plans to broadcast a live show featuring a mix of live acts and cherished performances from its storied history. So, while the snow may fall outside, the heart of country music will keep beating strong through the radio waves.

Opry Executive Producer Dan Rogers acknowledged the situation with a heartwarming message, encouraging fans to stay safe and cozy while enjoying the music from the warmth of their homes. Meanwhile, in a personal twist, rising star Zach John King has postponed his big Opry debut to May 23, 2026, a decision he made to avoid risking anyone’s safety. Refunds will be available for ticket holders, but the magic of the Opry will still reach across the airwaves. When one door closes, another one opens—especially in the world of country music!
