Universal Orlando and Country star Luke Combs announced that the third location of Combs’ Category 10 entertainment venue franchise will be at Universal CityWalk.
Category 10
Sometime in late 2027, Combs’ Category 10 will open at CityWalk, following the 2024 opening of his flagship location in Nashville and the late 2026 debut of the Las Vegas location. It will be three stories and 33,000 square feet.
An homage to Combs’ multi-platinum hit “Hurricane,” the forthcoming Category 10 will include areas “influenced by Combs’ music and passions,” according to the release.
“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,” Combs said in a statement. “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.”
In conjunction with Opry Entertainment Group, the groundbreaking for this location is currently slated to begin this summer. Opry Entertainment Group also operates Blake Shelton’s Ole Red 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.”
