It was a heartfelt, one-of-a-kind “Last Call” finale by Alan Jackson on Saturday night in Nashville. Jackson’s final show, deemed Last Call: One More For The Road – The Finale, honored his 40+ year career in the music industry, complete with his timeless hits, special friends, and surprise moments.
His two hour set included “Gone Country,” “The Older I Get,” “Chattahoochee,” “Remember When,” “Mercury Blues,” and “Where I Come From,” complete with a duet performance alongside George Strait for “Designated Drinker” and “Murder on Music Row.”
Additionally, several award-winning country music superstars and Nashville favorites gave honorable tribute performances to Jackson, making the evening even more unforgettable. Carrie Underwood, Cody Johnson, Eric Church, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Lainey Wilson, Lee Ann Womack, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Little Big Town, Miranda Lambert, Riley Green, and Thomas Rhett performed some of Jackson’s most memorable hits and joined together for an extraordinary rendition of “Pop a Top.”
Not only did he receive praise in person from the country music industry, he was celebrated with video messages from Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jeff Gordon, Nick Saban, Ella Langley, Chris Stapleton, Reba McEntire, Dwight Yoakam, Taylor Swift, and Kenny Chesney throughout the evening — congratulating him on this remarkable milestone.
The sold-out crowd of 80,000 fans were on their feet, alongside Jackson’s proud family singing every word.
“This has just been incredible. I don’t even have words – it’s just been completely overwhelming,” said the speechless GRAMMY winner.
Jackson’s earned many accolades including 35 No. 1 hit songs, 22 ACM awards, 17 CMA awards, two GRAMMYs, and the Inaugural Alan Jackson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Country Music, established last year. With over 90 million units sold worldwide, his career is one for the history books.

A wonderful singer, song writer and Truly a wonderful person. He is True Country.
