A new home for country music is coming to Universal Orlando’s CityWalk.<\/p>\n

Opry Entertainment Group announced today that it is developing a third installation of Luke Combs’ Category 10 for the Universal Orlando Resort. The 33,000 square-foot, three-story venue will open next year.<\/p>\n

Combs’ Category 10 is a live music venue, bar and restaurant that debuted in Nashville in 2024, with a second location in Las Vegas set to open this fall. The Universal Orlando CityWalk location will be new construction, with ground-breaking set for this summer. <\/p>\n

“Country music is reaching more people nationally and internationally than ever before, driven in large part by superstars like Luke Combs,” Ryman Hospitality Properties Executive Chairman Colin Reed said. [Ryman Hospitality Properties is the parent company of Opry Entertainment Group.] “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\u2019s Carolina roots.”<\/p>\n

“I know Orlando is a worldwide destination spot, so I\u2019m super pumped and humbled that we\u2019re getting to open a location there,” Combs said. “My wife is from Florida, so we\u2019re both super excited about this. I am glad to be bringing our brand of first-class service and awesome tunes to the Sunshine State.”<\/p>\n
