Alan Jackson Wraps Tour, Plans Final Nashville Show
Alan Jackson Plays Final Tour Date
Written by Amanda Tempel
Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson surprised the sold-out crowd at his May 17, show in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by announcing the show was his final tour date. His Last Call: One More for the Road Tour kicked off in 2022 and no additional dates are planned at this time. However, a big concert is in the works for 2026.
“Y’all may have heard that I’m kinda winding down. In fact, this is my last road show,” the legend told the crowd. “It’s been a long, sweet ride. It started 40 years ago this September. I’ve really lived the American dream for sure – so blessed.”
He shared his future plans by saying, “We’re planning on doing a big finale show in Nashville next summer sometime. This is our last year of major touring.”
Alan added, "We just felt like we had to end it all where it all started, and that’s in Nashville, Tennessee – Music City – where country music lives. I gotta do the last one there. This is the last one out on the road for me.”
After a lengthy ovation Alan said, “I just have to thank y’all for supporting my music all these years, coming to the shows, buying the records and having a good time with us. I’m so fortunate, so lucky.
A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and an inductee to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Alan Jackson’s membership among music’s all-time greats is part of a long line of career-defining accolades that include three CMA Entertainer of the Year honors, over 30 years of membership in the Grand Ole Opry, a Billboard ranking as one of the Top 10 Country Artists of All-Time, induction to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Heritage Award as the most-performed country songwriter-artist of ASCAP’s first 100 years.
The man from rural Newnan, GA has sold nearly 60-million albums worldwide and released more than 60 singles – registering 50 Top Ten hits and 35 #1s (including 26 Billboard chart-toppers). He has earned more than 150 major music industry awards – including 22 Academy of Country Music Awards, 17 Country Music Association Awards (including the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award), a pair of Grammys, ASCAP’s Founders and Golden Note Awards, and the NSAI’s Kris Kristofferson Lifetime Achievement Award. He was recently presented with the inaugural Alan Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Country Music, an honor which now bears his name.
Jackson – one of the most successful and respected singer-songwriters in music – is also the man behind one of Nashville’s most-popular tourist stops, AJ’s Good Time Bar. The four-story honky-tonk in the heart of downtown featuring daily live music and a rooftop view of Music City set the bar – literally – for the many celebrity establishments in the city as the first – and still the only solely-owned – artist bar on Broadway
