Alan Jackson closed out his final tour date on May 17, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, then confirmed from the stage that his decades-long touring career was officially over — with one major exception still to come.
The Country Music Hall of Famer wrapped his Last Call: One More for the Road Tour that night and told the crowd directly that it marked the end of his time on the road. The announcement was met with an outpouring of emotion from fans in attendance, and Jackson acknowledged the moment with characteristic candor. He noted, however, that a farewell concert in Nashville is already in the works for the following summer, explaining that it felt right to end his live career in the city where it all began.
A Nashville Finale Stacked With Special Guests
Billed as Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale, the closing concert is scheduled for June 27, 2026, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. The show will feature an extensive roster of guests, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Lee Ann Womack, with additional artists still to be announced. “I can’t think of a better place to put on a big show than in Nashville,” Jackson told People.
Tickets will be available through a staged rollout: pre-sale registration opens October 8 at 11AM ET at AlanJacksonLastCall.com and runs through October 13, pre-sales begin October 15 at 11AM ET, and general public on-sale follows October 17 at 11AM ET. VIP experiences will also be offered.
Health and Family Behind the Decision
Jackson’s retirement is tied in part to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition he disclosed publicly in 2021 after living with it for roughly a decade. The inherited illness — which also affected his grandmother, father, and one of his sisters — causes nerve damage in the arms and legs, leading to muscle contractions and difficulty walking. There is currently no known cure, though the condition is not fatal.
Family considerations also factored into his decision to step away from touring. His three daughters are grown, and he and his wife Denise have two grandchildren. “I’m enjoying spending more time at home,” he said.
Despite stepping away from the road, Jackson has indicated that new music remains a possibility. In a 2023 appearance on his daughter Maddie’s In-Joy Life podcast, he said the creative impulse still surfaces regularly and expressed optimism that more recordings could follow. For fans, the Nashville finale represents a rare final opportunity to see one of country music’s most enduring figures perform live.
