Country music icon Alan Jackson, a staple of the genre for over three decades, has officially mapped out the curtain call on his storied touring career. The Country Music Hall of Famer announced details Tuesday for “Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale,” a star-studded sendoff slated for June 27, 2026, at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium. The event, expected to draw upwards of 50,000 fans to the Tennessee Titans’ home turf, promises to cap Jackson’s road warrior days with a bang—or more aptly, a heartfelt twang.

Jackson, 67, first hinted at retirement during a May 2025 concert in Milwaukee, where he wrapped his “Last Call: One More for the Road” tour. Addressing a packed house, he reflected on the grind: “It’s been a long, sweet ride. It started 40 years ago.” That tour, which kicked off in June 2022, crisscrossed the U.S., Canada, Australia, Brazil, and Europe, selling out venues and reaffirming Jackson’s grip on traditional country sounds amid a landscape increasingly dotted with pop crossovers. Hits like “Gone Country,” “Livin’ on Love,” and “Remember When” defined his sets, drawing multigenerational crowds who came for the nostalgia and stayed for the authenticity.

This finale isn’t just a solo mic drop. Jackson is pulling out all the stops, enlisting a powerhouse roster of collaborators to join him onstage. Confirmed guests include Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Lee Ann Womack, with organizers teasing “more to be announced.” It’s a who’s-who of modern country that nods to Jackson’s influence— from Combs’ booming baritone echoing his storytelling style to Lambert’s fierce independence mirroring his no-frills ethos. “We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started for me, and that’s in Nashville—Music City—where country music lives,” Jackson said in a statement, underscoring the poetic full-circle moment.

The announcement comes amid a flurry of activity in Nashville’s event scene, as the city braces for another summer of mega-shows. Nissan Stadium, with its riverfront views and capacity for spectacle, has hosted titans like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé in recent years, but Jackson’s gig carries extra weight as a genre touchstone. Pre-sale registration opened October 8 via www.AlanJacksonLastCall.com, running through October 13, with public tickets to follow. Demand is already buzzing on social media, where fans are swapping memories of Jackson’s early ’90s breakout and his unwavering commitment to steel guitars over synthesizers.

Jackson’s career stats are the stuff of legend: 30 No. 1 singles, 50 million albums sold worldwide, and induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017. Yet, his path hasn’t been without hurdles. Diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease—a degenerative nerve condition—in 2021, Jackson scaled back performances but never lost his fire. The ailment, which affects balance and muscle strength, forced him to adapt, but as he told fans last spring, “I’m not quitting singing. I’m just quitting the road.” That resilience has endeared him further to an audience weary of polished perfection in today’s streaming era.

Critics and peers alike are hailing the finale as a must-see. “Alan’s the last of the Mohicans in real country,” one industry insider told MusicRow. “This show’s gonna be therapy for everyone who’s grown up on his records.” For younger acts like Combs and Green, it’s a passing of the torch; for veterans like Urban, a chance to salute a brother who’s outlasted trends.

As Nashville gears up, questions linger: Will Jackson dust off deep cuts like “Midnight in Montgomery” for one last spin? And who else might surprise—perhaps a George Strait cameo? Whatever unfolds, the evening will blend tears, beers, and boot-stomping joy, a fitting eulogy for a man who’s soundtracked American summers.

In an industry chasing virality over vinyl, Jackson’s exit feels refreshingly analog—a reminder that some legacies don’t need algorithms to endure. Mark your calendars: June 27, 2026. The hat’s coming off for good.
