Here's the press release:
ORLANDO, Fla. – (Feb. 17, 2026) – Today, Opry Entertainment Group and Grand Ole Opry member Luke Combs announced plans to bring Category 10 to CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort.
“I have a line in my song ‘1, 2 Many,’ ‘there’s no stopping me once I get goin’. Well, I guess you can say the same about Cat 10 now,” said Luke Combs. “I know Orlando is a worldwide destination spot, so I’m super pumped and humbled that we’re getting to open a location there. My wife is from Florida, so we’re both super excited about this. I am glad to be bringing our brand of first-class service and awesome tunes to the Sunshine State.”
The Orlando venue, targeted to open in late 2027, is the third location for the Category 10 brand, joining the flagship Category 10 in Nashville, Tennessee (opened in 2024) and a recently announced Las Vegas location (debuting fall 2026). Opry Entertainment Group also owns and operates Blake Shelton’s Ole Red, a restaurant, bar and live music venue located in Orlando.
“Country music is reaching more people nationally and internationally than ever before, driven in large part by superstars like Luke Combs,” said Colin Reed, Executive Chairman of OEG parent company Ryman Hospitality Properties. “With Orlando welcoming millions of visitors from around the globe each year, expanding the Category 10 footprint into this world-class entertainment destination allows us to introduce visitors to an authentic country music experience inspired by Luke’s Carolina roots.”
The Category 10 brand pays tribute to Combs’ 8x platinum debut No. 1 hit, “Hurricane.” The approximately 33,000 square-foot, three-story Orlando location will include experiential areas influenced by Combs’ music and passions.
OEG is set to break ground on the brand-new Category 10 Orlando location in summer 2026 and more details on the project will be revealed over time.
