The Grand Ole Opry has been closed since the middle of March, due to the coronavirus pandemic, and it seems they will be closed a little while longer. In the latest statement, shared on the Opry’s website, it was revealed that the historic venue will stay closed for at least another month.

“The Opry has now canceled all shows with live audiences through June 30 in the interest of the health and well-being of our guests and employees and to align with Metro Nashville safety guidelines,” the statement read.

Although shows are currently canceled through the end of June, the Grand Ole Opry may not be ready to open by July 1.

“No decision has yet been made about shows and events after June 30,” the statement continued. “Right now, we hope to proceed as planned. If you have a question pertaining to an event taking place after June 30, please contact us by visiting opry.com/contact. Include your name, order number, and email address on the supplied form so that we can best assist you.”

The Grand Ole Opry has been without an audience, with the exception of five socially-distanced members of the military who were in the balcony for the Grand Ole Opry Salute The Troops Memorial Day Weekend Special, but the shows have still continued. Artists like Craig Morgan, Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, Kelsea Ballerini and more have all performed to an empty venue, allowing the shows to continue week after week.

“It is super weird,” Craig admitted on the Bobby Bones Show. “Playing without an audience is not as weird as people might think, because we do a lot of TV, we do a lot of things like that, where there’s not necessarily a live audience. But it is SUPER weird to do it in a place where you’re used to having a live audience, one of which is almost always sold out. So it’s a little weird to be at the Ryman Auditorium or at the Opry house, doing a show without a live audience, just because of where we’re at.”

The Opryland Hotel will reopen on June 25. The Ryman Auditorium on June 6, while the Country Music Hall of Fame will stay closed through the end of June.

This week Chris Young, Chris Janson and Brett Young will perform. Next week’s performance will be by Lee Brice, Steve Wariner, Michael Ray and Carly Pearce. Find more information, including listening and streaming options, by visiting the Grand Ole Opry’s website.
