Rising country artist Hannah McFarland will mark a career milestone on October 31 when she makes her debut at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The Alabama native, who has quickly become one of the genre’s most exciting new voices, calls the performance a dream come true. “I wrote a bucket list of my biggest dreams as a kid, and leading at No. 1 was playing the Grand Ole Opry,” McFarland says. “I couldn’t be more grateful to have been asked to make my debut. It feels surreal to have something I’ve been praying and working hard for finally happening, and I can’t wait to take in every second I have in the circle.”
The Opry debut follows another big announcement for McFarland, as she has been confirmed for the 2026 Stagecoach lineup, taking place April 24–26 in Indio, California. She will join a bill featuring Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Bailey Zimmerman, and three of her recent collaborators: Chase Rice, Riley Green, and Brett Young. McFarland has been steadily raising her profile this year with standout collaborations, including her duet with Rice on ‘Foolin’, her feature on Green’s ‘I Just Need You' from his ‘Don’t Mind If I Do (Deluxe),' and her appearance on Young’s ‘In Case You Didn’t Know 2.0.'
Since releasing her debut EP ‘Broken Hearts' in February, McFarland has gained recognition from outlets like NPR and Hits Daily Double, who spotlighted her as one of their New & Developing Artists. Known for her captivating live shows, she has toured extensively across the U.S., supported Riley Green on a run of UK and European dates, and performed alongside artists including Tucker Wetmore and Kip Moore.
Following her Opry debut, she will rejoin Green for a November tour across the Midwest before continuing with him into spring 2026. Full tour details can be found at McFarland’s official site.
