Alan Jackson will play his final concert on Saturday, June 27, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, closing out a career that has stretched across three decades. The show, Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale, is already sold out, but fans without tickets will still have several ways to watch the night unfold live in Music City.
That final date is drawing attention because Jackson chose to end the road where he said it began. In his words, he and his team felt they had to finish it all in Nashville, Tennessee, “where country music lives,” making the concert a homecoming as much as a farewell. The lineup adds to that draw, with Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Eric Church listed as special guests.
Chaz Corzine said Jackson’s final performance is “a once-in-a-generation moment,” and that the goal was to make sure fans who missed the stadium tickets would still be part of it. That is where the day’s unusual setup comes in. Jackson and his team will host a livestreaming event on Broadway in downtown Nashville, with a screen and stage in the middle of the street showing the concert live. Before the broadcast begins, James Carothers and Cory Farley are set to perform there as well.
There is more than one way in. The Keepin’ It Country gates will open at 4 p.m. on June 27, with stage performances starting at 5 p.m. and the livestream at 6 p.m. Belmont University announced in May that it will also livestream Alan Jackson’s Last Call: One More for the Road — The Finale at The Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. on June 27. Later in the evening, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will host another livestream at The CMA Theater at 8:30 p.m., showing only Jackson’s performance.
The sold-out stadium show still leaves one question hanging over the night: how many fans each livestream viewing event can actually hold. That detail has not been made public, but the effort is clear enough. Jackson’s farewell is not being treated as a closed-door ending. It is being turned into a citywide event, with Music City itself acting as the second venue.
Later this year, NBC will pay tribute to Jackson’s legacy with a primetime special called Alan Jackson: The Last Show, and it will stream on Peacock the following day. For fans who cannot be in Nissan Stadium on June 27, the last big night is being spread across Nashville, then carried farther still.
