Country music legend Alan Jackson played his final road show on May 17th, 2025 to a sold out crowd at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Though it wasn’t announced beforehand as his final road show, Jackson said from the stage,
“This is my last road show out here, but we’re planning on doing a big finale show in Nashville next summer sometime [2026]. I just felt like I had to end it all where it all started, and that’s in Nashville, Tennessee. But this is the last one out on the road for me. It’s been a long, sweet ride. It started 40 years ago this September. My wife and I drove to Nashville with an ol’ UHaul trailer, and chased this dream. It’s been a crazy ride. I lived the American dream for sure.”
Now the details of the final Alan Jackson show have been released. Set for Saturday, June 27th at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, “Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale” will happen with a big list of supporting talent. Scheduled to appear with Jackson are Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Keith Urban, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Jon Pardi, Lee Ann Womack, and more to be announced.
Though some of these names like Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, and Lee Ann Womack feel entirely appropriate, it’s a little curious to see names like Luke Bryan and Keith Urban involved with this, and not to see names like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Reba McEntire, and others that you think of when you think Alan Jackson, let alone up-and-coming names like Zach Top and Jake Worthington who would fit on a final Alan Jackson concert so much better than others.
Organizers are expecting a crowd of 50,000, and Alan Jackson could probably sell that many tickets to this himself. Don’t be surprised if this sells out immediately, and a second date is added. But it almost feels like organizers felt like they needed some bigger names to make the math work. More names are to be announced, so it will be interesting to see who they are.
Also, whenever you see the “final tour” or the “final show,” you always have to approach these things with a little bit of caution. Many times in the past, performers have announced their finale only to return to touring later.
However, in September of 2021, Alan Jackson revealed that he’s been suffering from a degenerative nerve condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, nicknamed (somewhat ironically) CMT. The good news is that the disease is not life threatening, nor does it affect longevity. But CMT does significantly affect coordination, which has restricted Alan Jackson’s ability to perform.
