Country Star Announces Special Guests for Farewell Tour After Nearly 40 Years
After nearly four decades as one of country music's defining voices, Alan Jackson is preparing to take his final bow, and he's bringing some major friends along for the ride.
Jackson announced via Instagram that George Strait and Lainey Wilson have been added to the star-studded lineup for his farewell concert, Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale.
The event will take place June 27, 2026, at Nashville's Nissan Stadium, marking the last full-length concert of Jackson's touring career. The concert is expected to be one of the biggest celebrations of Jackson's legacy ever assembled, with more than 50,000 fans expected to attend.
In addition to Strait and Wilson, performers scheduled to appear include Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood and Lee Ann Womack.
Jackson said the decision to hold the final show in Nashville was deeply personal.
"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 farewell concert brings the curtain down on one of the most successful careers in modern country music.
Emerging in the late 1980s, Jackson became one of the leading figures of the traditional country revival movement, helping bring classic country sounds back to mainstream radio during an era increasingly influenced by pop production. Over the years, he amassed dozens of hit songs, including "Chattahoochee," "Remember When," "Drive (For Daddy Gene)" and "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)."
"Something I have to do every night that's fun, that song 'Chattahoochee,' I did years ago," Jackson told Country Music News in 2012. "It's just a lighthearted song.When I kick it off, people love that, and I'm talking about kids that are too young to have been around when it came out and people older. It connects with people, and I don't get tired of playing it."
His influence stretched across multiple generations of country artists, many of whom will now share the stage with him during his final full-scale performance.
With George Strait, often called the "King of Country," and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson among the latest additions, the event is shaping up to be one of the most significant country music concerts of 2026.
For fans, it will be more than a concert; it will be a celebration of a career that helped shape country music for nearly 40 years.
