Luke Combs and Opry Entertainment announce Category 10 Orlando, expanding their large-format nightlife venue concept

A Nashville-born concept is being positioned for Central Florida

Country music star Luke Combs and Opry Entertainment have announced plans to bring Category 10 to Orlando, marking the next expansion of a venue concept that launched in downtown Nashville after a major redevelopment of the former Wildhorse Saloon site.

Category 10 is designed as a large, multi-level entertainment complex combining food-and-beverage service with ticketed live music and multiple themed spaces under one roof. In Nashville, the venue is described as a 67,000-square-foot operation with distinct areas that include bars, performance stages, a sports-focused space, an upscale lounge concept and a rooftop component. The Nashville location’s concert-facing room, Hurricane Hall, is built around a capacity model that can accommodate roughly 1,500 people for ticketed events.

What Category 10 is—and how it operates

The Category 10 brand is tied to Combs’ breakout song “Hurricane,” with the venue concept built around country music programming, hospitality, and fan-oriented branding. In Nashville, the business model blends walk-in nightlife with scheduled events, including live sets from emerging artists and occasional headline moments tied to the brand’s namesake. The property has also been used for promoted event nights tied to Opry Entertainment’s broader country-music ecosystem.

Publicly available details about the Orlando version remain limited at this stage, including the specific site, square footage, opening timeline, and permitting or construction milestones. The announcement frames Orlando as “coming soon,” indicating the project is in early development rather than an imminent opening.

How the Orlando plan fits Opry Entertainment’s Florida footprint

Opry Entertainment already operates a country-themed live-music and dining venue in the Orlando market: Ole Red Orlando, which opened in 2020 at ICON Park on International Drive. That venue is positioned as a two-level entertainment and events operation with concert-style production capabilities and private-event capacity options, reflecting an established playbook for serving both residents and the region’s tourism and convention traffic.

Category 10 Orlando would extend that approach with a different brand identity built around Combs and the Category 10 concept that has been established in Nashville.

Key details confirmed so far

• Category 10 Orlando has been announced by Luke Combs and Opry Entertainment and is described as “coming soon.”
• The Category 10 concept is already operating in downtown Nashville as a large-format bar, restaurant and entertainment venue with multiple themed spaces.
• Opry Entertainment has an existing Orlando presence through Ole Red Orlando, opened in 2020 at ICON Park.

With site and scheduling specifics not yet disclosed, the next major indicators will be the selection of an Orlando location, local approvals, and a construction or build-out timeline that clarifies when the venue could begin operations.
