Country music superstar Alan Jackson concluded his touring career on Saturday night, June 27, 2026, with a final performance at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.
The concert, titled "Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale," celebrated his decades-long career, which includes over 60 million records sold since launching in the 1980s.
The event began with a two-hour marathon of Jackson covers performed by prominent contemporary country artists, each using Jackson's backing band.
Carrie Underwood performed "Everything I Love," Thomas Rhett sang "Small Town Southern Man," Miranda Lambert performed "Dallas," and Lainey Wilson sang "Tall, Tall Trees."
"It's almost impossible to pick a favorite Alan Jackson song ... but I had to try," said Luke Combs, before launching into "Hard Hat and a Hammer."
Eric Church also participated, performing "Someday" with only an acoustic guitar.
Additional guest artists included Luke Bryan, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Lee Ann Womack, and Jackson's family members Adam Wright, Big City Brian Wright, and Carlisle Wright.
The 67-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer was diagnosed 15 years ago with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a genetic degenerative nerve condition that impacts his balance and ability to walk.
One dollar from every ticket sold for the Saturday night concert was dedicated to the CMT Research Foundation to fund a cure for the condition.
Jackson took the stage after 9:35 p. m.
following an approximate one-hour weather delay caused by a storm.
Despite showing physical stiffness as he walked to the microphone, he initiated the set with "Gone Country" using his signature baritone voice, though his guitar strumming remained minimal.
"It's overwhelming," Jackson told the crowd.
The singer then reassured the audience that he would focus primarily on the music rather than the finality of the performance.
"That last show stuff … I'm not dead!" said Jackson.
Jackson performed a selection of his major hits, including "I Don’t Even Know Your Name," "Livin' on Love," "Summertime Blues," and "Midnight in Montgomery," while music videos played on a screen behind the stage.
He moved across the stage to greet different sections of the stadium and openly praised his backing band.
"If anyone has lived the American dream, it's me," said Jackson while seated on a stool.
Jackson shared several personal anecdotes with the audience, noting that "I'd Love You All Over Again" was written for his wife on their 10th anniversary, the radio from "Chasin' that Neon Rainbow" is housed in the Country Music Hall of Fame museum, and "Drive (For Daddy Gene)" was composed following his father's passing.
An hour into his performance, Jackson brought out special guest George Strait to join him for their collaborative tracks, "Designated Drink" and "Murder on Music Row."
Jackson then continued with a series of hit singles, including "Little Bitty," "Country Boy," "Good Time," and "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)," which was written after the September 11 terror attacks.
He followed with "Don't Rock the Jukebox," "Remember When," "It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere," and concluded with "Chattahoochee" alongside a fireworks display.
While his touring career has ended, Jackson released a country cover of Orleans' "Still the One" two days prior to the concert to celebrate his 50-year relationship with his wife, Denise Jackson.
The full Nashville performance is scheduled to be broadcast later this year as an NBC concert special.
