Country music fans, mark your calendars and dust off those cowboy boots—Huntsville’s Von Braun Center Propst Arena is about to become the epicenter of ’90s nostalgia and star-studded musical celebration. On Thursday, February 5, 2026, the Rocket City will once again shine a national spotlight on its thriving live music scene, as it hosts “An All-Star Salute to ’90s Country.” This much-anticipated event promises a marathon of hits, heartfelt performances, and a gathering of legends whose songs defined a decade.
According to reports from The Huntsville Times and Country Now, the upcoming concert is set to be one of the largest reunions of ’90s country stars in recent memory. Over 40 performances are slated for the three-hour extravaganza, with a lineup that reads like a roll call of the genre’s most beloved voices. These artists collectively boast more than 60 No. 1 hits and have sold over 50 million albums—a testament to the enduring appeal of their music and the era they helped shape.
The event’s producers are no strangers to Huntsville’s vibrant country scene. They’ve previously brought acclaimed tribute shows to the Von Braun Center Propst Arena, including “An All-Star Salute to Lee Greenwood,” “George Jones: Still Playin’ Possum,” and “Songs & Stories of Dean Dillon.” Each of these specials drew crowds and critical praise, further cementing Huntsville’s reputation as a destination for can’t-miss country music events.
But this time, the nostalgia dial is turned all the way up. “An All-Star Salute to ’90s Country” will feature original artists performing the very songs that made them household names. The lineup includes Rhett Akins, John Berry, Tracy Byrd, Paulette Carlson of Highway 101, Deana Carter, Mark Chesnutt, Mark Collie, Confederate Railroad, Billy Dean, Andy Griggs, Wade Hayes, Ty Herndon, The Kentucky Headhunters, Tracy Lawrence, Neal McCoy, Lorrie Morgan, Paul Overstreet, Lee Roy Parnell, Michael Peterson, Collin Raye, Ricochet, Doug Stone, Rick Trevino, Tanya Tucker, Bryan White, Mark Wills, Michelle Wright, and The Frontmen—a supergroup featuring Tim Rushlow (Little Texas), Larry Stewart (Restless Heart), and Richie McDonald (Lonestar). Additional artists are expected to be announced, keeping anticipation high as the event draws closer.
What sets this concert apart from the usual tour stop or festival? For starters, it’s a one-night-only affair—blink and you’ll miss it. According to Country Now, the show will be taped for a television special, bringing the magic of the evening to living rooms across the nation at a later date. This adds an extra layer of excitement for both attendees and fans who can’t make the trip to Alabama. There’s something special about knowing you’re part of a night that will be preserved and shared on the small screen.
Tickets for the event go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, October 24, 2025, with prices starting at $79, as reported by The Huntsville Times. They’re available through Ticketmaster and the Von Braun Center’s website, giving fans multiple avenues to secure their spot at what’s sure to be a sold-out show. With so many big names and a limited number of seats, demand is expected to be fierce. After all, when else will you get the chance to see so many legends under one roof, performing the hits that soundtracked road trips, heartbreaks, and Saturday nights out?
The significance of the ’90s in country music can’t be overstated. It was a decade that saw the genre explode in popularity, crossing over into mainstream charts and radio with a new generation of stars. The artists featured in this salute were at the forefront of that movement, blending traditional country storytelling with fresh energy and broader appeal. Their songs—think Tracy Lawrence’s “Time Marches On,” Deana Carter’s “Strawberry Wine,” or Neal McCoy’s “Wink”—became anthems for millions and continue to resonate today.
For Huntsville, hosting such a high-profile event is both a point of pride and a reflection of the city’s growing stature as a cultural hub. The Von Braun Center Propst Arena has become a go-to venue for major music specials, thanks in part to its state-of-the-art facilities and the enthusiastic support of local audiences. The success of previous country tributes filmed at the arena has only raised expectations for what’s to come this February.
Fans who attend can expect a true celebration—not just of the music, but of the era itself. The concert promises to deliver a steady stream of ’90s anthems, performed by the original voices who made them famous. It’s a rare opportunity to relive the heyday of honky-tonk, heartbreak, and high-energy performances, all in one place. And with the show being taped for television, the excitement and emotion of the night will be preserved for posterity.
While the full setlist remains under wraps, the sheer number of artists and hits involved ensures there will be something for everyone. Whether your tastes run to the rowdy sounds of The Kentucky Headhunters, the heartfelt ballads of Collin Raye, or the powerhouse vocals of Tanya Tucker, you’re bound to hear a favorite—or discover a new one. The event’s producers have a track record of crafting shows that balance nostalgia with fresh moments, so expect surprises and collaborations alongside the classic hits.
For those unable to snag tickets or make the trip to Huntsville, there’s still hope.
