Country star Alan Jackson‘s farewell concert, set for June 29 in Nashville, will be filmed for an NBC special, to be titled “Alan Jackson: The Last Show,” with an unspecified air date later in 2026, the network announced Thursday.
The special is being directed by Sam Wrench, best known for the 2023 feature film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” the “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special” and specials or concert films with Sabrina Carpenter, Laufey, BTS, Brandi Carlile, Billie Eilish, Andrea Bocelli and Mumford & Sons.
NBC’s announcement did not mention any guest stars. But the show taking place later this month is being advertised with a slew of them, and it would seem likely that some will be included in the telecast. The 17 artists billed as participating in Jackson’s farewell gig include Lainey Wilson, George Strait, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Riley Green, Little Big Town, Carrie Underwood, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett and Lee Ann Womack.
It will be one of the first projects from Joan of Arc StudioWorks, the new company formed by former UMG Nashville CEO Cindy Mabe, who worked with Jackson in a label capacity. Joan of Arc is producing along with EverWonder Studios. Executive producers are Cindy Mabe, Dawn Gates and Harper Grae for Joan of Arc and Mike Antinoro and Raj Kapoor for EverWonder. Jackson, Debbie Doebler and RAC Clark are the other exec producers. EverWonder’s Allison Roithinger and Victoria Chamlee are co-executive producers.
The June 29 concert will take place at Nissan Stadium in Nashville and is being dubbed “Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale.” Tickets are sold out.
After the special premieres on NBC some time this year, it will stream the following day on Peacock.
Jackson, now 67, performed his final regular touring show on May 17, 2025, at the conclusion of his “Last Call: One More for the Road Tour.”
The singer had revealed in 2021 that he had been dealing with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve condition, for at least a decade at that time. The condition causes nerve damage, primarily in the extremities, that can interfere with the ability to walk.
Jackson is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame who was one of country’s biggest superstars in the 1990s and 2000s. As an emblem of country’s traditional wing, he is still one of the genre’s most respected and influential major artists. He won 17 CMA Awards — including wins for entertainer of the year in 1995, 2002 and 2003 — and 22 ACM Awards, while reaching No. 1 in Billboard 26 times.
