Starr goes to the Opry

Wednesday, January 15, 2025 – Ringo Starr was invited to make his debut on the Grand Ole Opry last night during the first of his two-night sold-out headlining shows at the Ryman Auditorium in support of his new country album, "Look Up."

Starr was surprised onstage with the invitation by his friend and Opry member Emmylou Harris.

Starr will make his Opry debut on Feb. 21 at the Grand Ole Opry House as part of the Opry's ongoing 100th Anniversary celebration.

When Harris asked, Starr pretended to think about it and, with his trademark wit, teasingly replied, "When is that, July?" Harris answered, "February," to which Starr said, "I'd love to. It's an honor and a pleasure. Thank you."

"What an honor that after all the extraordinary music he has made and all the incredible history he's been a part of, Ringo Starr will be making his Opry debut during this, the Opry's milestone 100th year," said Opry Executive Producer Dan Rogers. "It's going to be a night like no other."
