Why Is Alan Jackson Playing His Final Concert?
Jackson announced his retirement from touring in May 2025, telling a Milwaukee crowd that night was his "last road show" of his career. He revealed on NBC's Today show in 2021 that he had been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a hereditary neurological condition inherited from his father.
The condition is not fatal, but Jackson has said it affects his balance and mobility on stage. "There's no cure for it, but it's been affecting me for years," he told Today. "And it's getting more and more obvious."
Who Is Joining Jackson on Stage in Nashville?
The finale caps Jackson's "Last Call: One More for the Road" tour, which began in 2022. An all-star roster is scheduled throughout the evening, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Lainey Wilson, and Lee Ann Womack.
"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. The Hall of Fame member has spent more than three decades on the Grand Ole Opry and sold nearly 60 million albums worldwide.
How Can You Watch If You Don't Have Tickets?
The Nissan Stadium show sold out quickly, though resale seats may still be available at premium prices. For viewers at home, NBC confirmed it is filming the concert for a primetime special titled "Alan Jackson: The Last Show," set to air later in 2026 and stream on Peacock the following day—though no air date has been announced.
In Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame is broadcasting the concert live, but that venue is sold out. A limited number of free tickets remain to watch the live feed at Belmont University. Lower Broadway will close Saturday for a free outdoor viewing party; gates open at 4 p.m. For more on upcoming broadcasts, see our Streaming & TV Alerts coverage.
What Else Should Fans Know About the Finale?
The concert benefits the CMT Research Foundation. For every ticket sold, $1 goes to the foundation, with an additional $2 matched by a donor to support research toward a cure for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
The event takes place Saturday at Nissan Stadium, located at 1 Titans Way. Details on the NBC special and local viewing options are still developing; News Channel 5 Nashville has ongoing local coverage as the city prepares for the historic night.
