'Nashville' TV show stars to play reunion concert at Ryman Auditorium

Believe it or not, it's been five years since the primetime TV series "Nashville" — the country music drama that helped usher in a boom of tourism and transplants in the real Music City — aired its final episode.

But here's some great news for diehard fans: "Nashville" is coming back. Not to the screen, but the stage.

Cast members Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson and Sam Palladio will play a reunion concert at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on September 25.

The concert is part of a transatlantic reunion tour the quartet is embarking on this year. They'll also perform in Rosemont, Illinois on September 23 (with a bonus appearance by cast member Chris Carmack) before heading to the U.K. in October.

"I’m thrilled to be reuniting on stage with these wonderful Nashville friends here in the U.S.," Esten wrote on social media, also noting that the Ryman was where the show's final scene took place.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday via Ryman.com. You can find info on all the "Nashville" reunion shows at tix.to/Nashville
