George Strait & Lainey Wilson Added To Alan Jackson’s Final, “Last Call” Concert

It only felt right for the King to join. Alan Jackson is gearing up for his final concert, a massive event at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, June 27, 2026 that will mark the end of his legendary touring career. Tickets went on sale for the show back in October and sold out pretty much immediately. And if you’re hoping to buy a ticket on the resale market, well…hope you’re ready to shell out the big bucks. On SeatGeek right now, which is the official ticketing platform of Nissan Stadium, the cheapest resale ticket available is going for $443 in the top of the stadium, slightly behind the stage. The most expensive tickets, however, are listed for as much as $7,500 for a seat on the floor. While the resale prices are absolutely mind blowing, they at least make some sense given the incredible lineup. Initially, the star-studded concert will feature a ton of special guests, including Eric Church, Luke Combs, Luke Bryan, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban and many, many more. Back in April, Jackson added the likes of Little Big Town, Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett to the bill. Today, however, Jackson made the huge (and ultimately fitting) announcement and announced none other than the King himself, George Strait, and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson, as the presumably final guests for his final show. View this post on Instagram Jackson is a grandfather now, and he has been touring for three decades at this point, so it makes sense that he’s ready to close that chapter of his life and spend most of his time at home with his family: “I’ve been touring for over 30 years – my daughters are all grown, we have one grandchild and one on the way…and I’m enjoying spending more time at home. But my fans always show up to have a good time, and I’m going to give them the best show I can for this Last Call.” Of course Alan revealed back in 2021 that he was living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a degenerative nerve disease that affects the arms and legs and causes difficulty standing and walking. AJ admitted back then that the condition was starting to affect his performances, and that he often had to sit down on a stool because he would have trouble balancing in front of the microphone, but that he didn’t want fans to think he was “drunk on stage” because he was having trouble with his balance. So for his final run of shows, Alan has announced that $1 from every ticket sold for the Last Call: One More for the Road Tour will be donated to the CMT Research Foundation, an organization that funds research for neurological disease. $1 for each ticket was matched by a group of CMTRF donors and board members. There’s nothing else to really say about Alan Jackson’s legendary career that hasn’t already been said: He’s a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame along with having won 17 CMA Awards, 19 ACM Awards, 2 Grammy Awards and an incredible 35 #1 singles. Of course, it only seems fitting that Strait and Jackson perform one last time together. Beyond their status as two of country music’s most influential artists of the past five decades, complete with nearly 100 #1 hits between the two and a long-history of composing some of the genre’s most iconic songs, the two have shared the stage and studio together on multiple occasions. Their first collaboration came back in 2000 upon the release of “Murder on Music Row,” a protest against the Nashville machine, which ended up winning the pair two CMA Awards for Music Event of the Year in 2000 and Song of the Year in 2001. Their second and final collaboration came just two years later when the legends teamed up once again for “Designated Drinker.” It’s safe to say that June 27th is going to be an incredibly emotional one in the country music community. It’s hard to truly put into words just how much Jackson has impacted and influenced the genre, its artists of the past, present and future. Couple the night of celebration with an appearance from Strait, who has been a close friend and collaborator with Jackson for decades at this point, and you might want to stock up on some tissues. Before you go, fire up “Murder on Music Row.” The post George Strait & Lainey Wilson Added To Alan Jackson’s Final, “Last Call” Concert first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
