Dolly Parton's 50th Opry Anniversary Concert to Air on NBC Next Month

If you couldn't be in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday (Oct. 12) to see Dolly Parton's Grand Ole Opry anniversary concert, you're in luck. The star-studded celebration will air the week of Thanksgiving on NBC.

Dolly Parton: 50 Years at the Grand Ole Opry, featuring performances by Emmylou Harris, Margo Price, Dierks Bentley, Lady Antebellum, Toby Keith, Chris Janson and Hank Williams, Jr., will air on Tuesday, November 26.

"I'm so thrilled to be celebrating my 50-year anniversary with the Grand Ole Opry," Parton said in a statement. "I'm also excited that NBC wanted to share in this milestone with me. Together we hope to entertain a broader audience on what the Grand Ole Opry is and what it means to me."

Parton has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry since Jan. 4, 1969. In honor of her 50th anniversary, the Opry celebrated the country icon with Dolly Week, a three-night celebration of Parton's music. The first night was a celebration of the country star's No. 1 songs, while the second night, "Dolly's Mountain Soul," was a celebration of Parton's mountain, bluegrass and roots music. To wrap up the celebratory week, Parton headlined the Grand Ole Opry house on Oct. 12.
