Country music star Alan Jackson's highly anticipated farewell concert, scheduled for June 29 in Nashville, is set to be captured for an exclusive NBC special. Titled "Alan Jackson: The Last Show," the broadcast is slated for late 2026, promising fans a comprehensive look at this significant event.
The special will be directed by the acclaimed Sam Wrench, recognized for his work on "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" and various concert films for artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Laufey, and BTS. Wrench's expertise in capturing live performances suggests a high-quality production that will do justice to Jackson's final show.
While NBC's official announcement remained mum on guest appearances, promotional materials for the June 29 concert, dubbed "Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale," reveal a constellation of country music luminaries. Expected performers include Lainey Wilson, George Strait, Luke Combs, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, and Miranda Lambert, ensuring a memorable tribute.
"The Last Show" marks one of the initial projects for Joan of Arc StudioWorks, a new company founded by former UMG Nashville CEO Cindy Mabe, a long-time collaborator of Jackson. Mabe, along with Dawn Gates and Harper Grae, will serve as executive producers, alongside Mike Antinoro and Raj Kapoor from EverWonder Studios, and Jackson himself.
The farewell concert will unfold at Nashville's iconic Nissan Stadium. Tickets for this momentous occasion are entirely sold out, highlighting the immense anticipation and enduring popularity of the country music icon.
Following its premiere on NBC later this year, "Alan Jackson: The Last Show" will be available for streaming the subsequent day on Peacock, ensuring wider access for fans who wish to relive or experience the concert.
Jackson, now 67, wrapped up his regular touring with the "Last Call: One More for the Road Tour" on May 17, 2025. In 2021, he publicly disclosed his decade-long battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition that affects mobility.
A revered member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Alan Jackson dominated the country music scene in the 1990s and 2000s. Known for his traditional country sound, he remains a highly respected and influential figure, boasting 17 CMA Awards, 22 ACM Awards, and 26 No. 1 hits on Billboard charts.
