Bass Pro is throwing one helluva party for the opening of its new Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium in Springfield, Mo., on Sept. 20.

The gala’s register of attendees is rumored to include ex-Presidents George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter, Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke, Missouri Governor Eric Greitens, Senator Roy Blunt and Missouri Congressman Billy Long.

Joining the aforementioned suits at the shindig will be a motley crew of country music stars, NASCAR drivers, pro fishermen, celebrities and conservation leaders.

Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, John Anderson, Chris Janson, Tracy Byrd, Easton Corbin and Craig Morgan are slated to perform. Kevin Costner will be in the house, as well as NASCAR drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Clint Bowyer and pro fisherman Jimmy Houston, Bill Dance and Scott and Roland Martin.

Kid Rock is also reported to be delivering a performance via live video feed to the gala crowd.

If you couldn’t guess, this party is invitation-only.

The Wonders of Wildlife Museum & Aquarium, which opens on Sept. 21, features 1.5 million gallons of aquariums, more than one mile of trails and exhibits, and 35,000 live fish, mammals, reptiles and birds.
