Blake Shelton will perform on the Grand Ole Opry’s 4,923rd consecutive Saturday night broadcast Saturday, May 9. Joining Blake will be Gwen Stefani, who will make her Grand Ole Opry debut that night, joining Shelton for their duet performance of his current single “Nobody But You.”

Amidst the COVID-19 crisis, the Opry will stage a remote broadcast performance as part of a regularly scheduled Opry show.

Trace Adkins and Dustin Lynch will perform on stage at the Grand Ole Opry House, after which Shelton and Stefani will play for fans around the world via a remote broadcast performance from Shelton’s farm in Oklahoma where the two artists are safely sheltered at home.

Adkins invited Shelton to become an official Opry member in 2010 and extended the same invitation to Lynch in 2018.

The Grand Ole Opry airs Saturday, May 9 at 8 PM ET / 7 PM CT on The Circle Network.
