Ryman Auditorium

"Made a trip to check out the Ryman Auditorium, and it was absolutely worth it. The history, atmosphere, and legendary reputation are evident the moment you walk through the doors. The acoustics are incredible, and the views are excellent from most seats in the house. You can really appreciate why so many iconic performers have graced this stage over the years. One thing to know—the bench seating is part of the historic charm, but it does mean you might get a little more familiar with your neighbors than you planned! 😆 Overall, a must-visit Nashville landmark and a fantastic venue to experience live music."

"The show was amazing. We saw Shane Smith and the saints. The openers were both great and put on a wonderful show. All the staff we encountered were polite and helpful. We added on the Fords Lounge and now this will always be a must. The bartender in the lounge is top notch and made you feel so comfortable. We can’t wait to come back."

"We finally made it to the Ryman on our latest Nashville trip, and pairing the self‑guided tour with our Lady A Christmas concert that night was the best decision. The tour was calm, easy to follow, and beautifully presented. The opening film set the tone, and the history throughout was incredible. My teen daughter loved spotting outfits from her favourite artists (Dolly, Kelsea, Taylor) and was surprisingly invested the whole way through. A highlight was watching the sound crew set up for the concert later that evening — an unexpected behind‑the‑scenes moment that made the visit feel extra special. We spent about an hour exploring, and the onstage photo was a great keepsake. Coming back that night for the Lady A show wrapped the whole experience up perfectly. Highly recommend doing the tour on the same day as a concert. It made the visit unforgettable."

"Had the honor of attending the "Tammy Wynette Tribute" on March 30 and it was a great show! I had front row seats center and that made it even more special for my 82 yo mother. She loves visiting Nashville; especially the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman venues. The staff were friendly and helpful getting us to our seats. They are very much appreciated!! Thanks to CONCORD ENTERTAINMENT for coordinating this event and as all, we look forward to this being brought to PBS for everyone to enjoy. Tammy Wynette represented and inspired generations of women in Country Music!!"

"Seeing a show at Ryman Auditorium is something truly special, and our experience on April 2, 2026 was absolutely unforgettable. We had the chance to see Max McNown perform, and even though he was clearly battling illness and losing his voice, the concert did NOT disappoint. His passion and dedication shone through every song. I have been a fan since his first single Freezing in November, and hearing his music live was incredible. From the opening set by Briscoe right until the final Max McNown song of the night, we loved every minute! It truly felt like an honour to sit inside the Ryman, known as the Mother Church of Country Music. This was our second visit. A few years ago we did the tour while visiting Nashville, and that experience is what made me want to come back for a live show. When the opportunity came up to see Max McNown here, I did not hesitate. The entire experience was amazing from start to finish. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. From the warm welcome at the door, to helping me find the VIP area for merchandise, to guiding us to our seats, they went above and beyond to make the night feel special. I was also very impressed with the concession experience. The lines moved quickly and there was barely any wait, which is not always the case at venues like this. This was truly a highlight of our trip and a night we will never forget."
