Alan Jackson to Release Final Nashville Concert Album After Retiring From Touring With NBC Special and PBS Appearance Later This Year

Alan Jackson performs during his farewell concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville

NASHVILLE, TN — Alan Jackson has ended his road career, but he is not done putting out new music. After his June 27 farewell concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, a live album from the show was announced and is now available for pre-order.

The project, Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale (Live from Nashville, TN), is currently listed with a release date of December 31, 2026, though that timing could still change.

Farewell concert drew about 80,000 and raised $2.25 million for CMT research

Jackson’s final full concert marked the end of his touring run as he continues to deal with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, or CMT, a neurological disorder. The performance was described as a blowout sendoff, and by the end he needed help getting off stage as fireworks closed the night.

Organizers estimated the crowd at 80,000 when counting people inside the stadium and fans gathered at Nashville watch parties, including events at Belmont University, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Lower Broadway.

The concert also raised $2.25 million for medical research into CMT.

Live album follows a recent cover release and an NBC television special

Jackson had already shown he was not stepping away from recording entirely when he released a cover of Orleans’ Still The One shortly before the finale. The new live album is expected to capture the farewell performance, although the track list has not been announced.

At the same time, NBC is preparing a television special from the concert that will air later this year and then stream on Peacock. The broadcast will not include every moment from the full show.

PBS plans a pre-recorded Jackson performance for A Capitol Fourth

Jackson is also scheduled to appear in PBS’ A Capitol Fourth, which airs Friday, July 3, at 8 p.m. Eastern and 7 p.m. Central and streams on YouTube. His performance was recorded separately at the Ryman Auditorium rather than live for the broadcast.

Even with touring behind him, Jackson’s release schedule suggests more music could still follow. There is no word yet on a future studio album, but the new live release indicates his recording career is continuing.

Set list from the finale included hits spanning Jackson’s career

The farewell show featured a long set built around some of Jackson’s best-known songs, including Gone CountryChattahoocheeRemember WhenDrive (For Daddy Gene) and It’s Five o’Clock Somewhere.

George Strait joined him for Designated Drinker and Murder on Music Row, giving the Nashville crowd two of the night’s most notable collaborations.
