Alan Jackson, the renowned country music icon, has announced his final performance, marking the end of an illustrious career that has spanned over three decades. The show, titled “Last Call: One More For The Road — The Finale,” is scheduled for June 27, 2026, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. This highly anticipated event will bring together fans to celebrate Jackson’s legacy and contributions to the genre.
At 67 years old, Jackson has decided to retire from live performances, citing a desire to spend more time with family as a significant factor in his decision. During a recent announcement, he reflected on his extensive touring history, stating, “I’ve been touring for over 30 years… I’ve played everywhere in the country and parts of the world.” With his daughters grown and a grandchild on the way, Jackson expressed a longing for home life, saying, “I just want to think about maybe calling it quits before I’m unable to do the job like I want to.”
While family considerations play a crucial role, health issues have also influenced his retirement. Jackson has been diagnosed with a rare genetic condition known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a chronic neuropathy that affects balance and mobility. He revealed, “Most of my fans know I have a degenerative health condition that affects my legs and arms… and it’s getting worse.” This condition has made performing increasingly challenging, prompting him to consider stepping back from the stage.
Despite these challenges, Jackson is determined to conclude his career on a high note. He plans to share the stage with several prominent country artists during his farewell show. Notable names such as Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Riley Green, Jon Pardi, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, and Lee Ann Womack are expected to join him, with more special guests anticipated.
Jackson emphasized the significance of Nashville as the venue for his last performance, stating, “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.” This final concert promises to be a celebration not only of Jackson’s career but also of the enduring spirit of country music.
As fans prepare for this momentous occasion, Jackson’s announcement serves as a poignant reminder of his impact on the music industry. His heartfelt reflections on family, health, and the joy of performing resonate deeply, making this farewell concert a must-see event for country music enthusiasts.
