Alan Jackson has revealed the date of his farewell concert – Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale – amid an ongoing health battle.

The 66-year-old country artist announced on Wednesday that his last concert will be held in Nashville at Nissan Stadium on June 27, 2026.

The two-time Grammy winner mentioned that he couldn’t ‘think of a better place to put on a big show and give the fans a finale than in’ the country music capital.

‘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 expressed in a statement to People.

The stalwart singer-songwriter added, ‘It’s been a long road… and it’s taken me places I never imagined.’

Jackson added that he looked forward to including ‘so many special friends’ in his finale next summer.

Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Keith Urban (who has recently made news with his split from Nicole Kidman) are among those scheduled to pay tribute to Jackson at the show.

Jackson’s retirement comes amid a near-15-year battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which has impacted his ability to sing on stage.

The It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere vocalist will donate a dollar from every ticket sale at his farewell show to the CMT Research Foundation.

The organization is focused toward ‘investing in innovative research to find treatments and cures for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.’

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, or CMT, is explained by the foundation as ‘a progressive, degenerative disease affecting the peripheral nerves that extend from the brain and spinal cord to the arms, hands, legs, and feet.’

The foundation highlighted that the brain and nerves maintain constant communication, which is disrupted by CMT, leading to symptoms like ‘numbness, sensory loss, muscle weakness/atrophy, and nerve degeneration.’

According to the foundation, ‘Symptoms may begin as early as birth or during adulthood, and they become gradually worse over time.’

This condition was identified in 1886 by the three doctors it is named after: Jean-Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Howard Henry Tooth. Currently, there are no cures or treatments available, as per the foundation.

The Don’t Rock the Jukebox singer revealed his ongoing health battle in September 2021 in an effort to let ‘the fans and the public … know what’s going on.’

The Chattahoochee artist added: ‘I don’t want them to think I’m drunk on stage because I’m having problems with mobility and balance. I have this neuropathy, neurological disease I inherited from my daddy.

The Newnan, Georgia-born singer said he had ‘been reluctant to talk about this publicly, but it’s been a while, and it’s starting to affect my performance on stage a little bit where I don’t feel comfortable.’

Fans can register for presale tickets through Monday, with pre-sales beginning Wednesday.

The general public will be able to purchase tickets on October 17, which marks Jackson 67th birthday.
