When Alan Jackson announced his final concert for June 27th at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, concert tickets soared to exorbitant prices, and sold out immediately when they went on sale. Along with Alan Jackson, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Lee Ann Womack, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Luke Combs, Riley Green, and others were originally announced as performers.
Since then, even more talent has been added, including George Strait and Lainey Wilson. Also scheduled to perform are members of Alan Jackson’s family, including nephews Adam Wright and Big City Brian Wright, along with Big City Brian Wright’s daughter, Carlisle Wright.
Obviously, demand to be at the concert has far exceeded supply. But as the concert nears, new viewing options have opened up for folks who can’t be there in person. First and foremost, NBC has confirmed that there will be a full film crew there taping the whole thing for later distribution as a primetime concert special. Though no date has been confirmed for when it will air, this will give everyone the opportunity to see it.
For those who can’t view the television special, it will be made available for streaming the day after (not the concert, but the TV special) on NBC’s streaming service Peacock indefinitely.
Furthermore, for those who want more immediate gratification, they have two options of how to view Alan Jackson’s portion of the concert in real time, even if they can’t be there in person. The Country Music Hall of Fame will be opening up their CMA Theater that will broadcast a live feed from the concert. Tickets are (or were) free, though you needed to reserve them. The venue has since been sold out for the event.
However, Belmont University in Nashville is also opening up their Fisher Center where fans can witness the same live feed, and they still have tickets available. All proceeds of every ticket purchased will go toward launching the Alan Jackson Legacy endowed scholarship at Belmont University, which will support aspiring musicians and artists for generations to come. There will also be a live band performing at the event before the live feed begins.
Only a few lucky souls will get to witness Alan Jackson’s final show up close and personal. But luckily, provisions are now in place to make sure none of us miss it entirely.
