Alan Jackson officially wrapped his “Last Call: One More for the Road Tour” on Saturday (May 17), marking the final touring show of his career.

“It’s been a long, sweet ride. It started 40 years ago this September,” he recalled from stage. “I’ve really lived the American dream for sure – so blessed.”

During the set, Jackson announced plans to hold a final show in Nashville in summer 2026. Plans for the show will be revealed at a later date.

“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,” he said. “This is the last one out on the road for me.”

Jackson, who announced in 2019 that he’s living with a neurological disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth, donated a portion of every ticket sale to the CMT Research Foundation. Over $2.25 million dollars were directly and indirectly raised by the tour through donations, matching contributions and efforts as well as other revenue inspired by Jackson and the tour.

“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,” Jackson says. “I’m so fortunate, so lucky.”
