Nashville, TN - Country music icon Alan Jackson performed his final concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville last night (June 27), marking the end of his illustrious career. The event, titled "Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale," featured a star-studded lineup of guest artists, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, George Strait, and Carrie Underwood.
The concert was delayed due to weather conditions, with Opry announcer Kelly Sutton advising attendees to "shelter in place for the next 30 minutes" as rain and lightning swept through the area. Despite the delay, the show went on, with Jackson and his guests delivering a memorable performance.
Jackson's setlist included many of his greatest hits, such as "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere" and "Good Time." The format of the show allowed for duets with the guest artists, reminiscent of George Strait's farewell concert in 2014. The event was also livestreamed on Lower Broadway, allowing fans who couldn't attend in person to experience the concert.
For each ticket sold, $1 was donated to the CMT Research Foundation, a cause close to Jackson's heart. An NBC TV special highlighting the concert will air later this year, with streaming available on Peacock the following day.
Background: Alan Jackson has been a country music icon for over three decades, known for his unique blend of traditional and modern sounds. His farewell concert was a celebration of his significant contributions to the genre and his enduring popularity among fans.
