Nbc to tape Alan Jackson's sold-out Nashville finale June 27

will give what is presented as the final full-length performance of his touring career on June 27 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, and the sold-out one-night-only concert will be taped for an nbc special.

The show, billed as Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale, gathers a long roster of guest artists that includes , Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, , Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Jon Pardi, Thomas Rhett, and Lee Ann Womack, along with newer acts Adam Wright, Big City Brian Wright and Carlisle Wright. is helming the NBC special and is producing the telecast.

The scale of the evening underlines Jackson’s career. He has earned two Grammys, 16 CMA Awards and 17 ACM Awards, and was voted into the in 2017 and the in 2018. Jackson has posted four No. 1 albums on the all-genre Billboard 200, 14 No. 1 albums on Top Country Albums and 26 No. 1 hits on Hot Country Songs; the Recording Industry Association of America credits him with U.S. shipments of 44.5 million albums.

That heft matters because the June 27 performance is being presented as the last full-length stop of Jackson’s road career. His Last Call: One More for the Road tour reached its final scheduled date on May 17, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; the Nashville show has been framed as a single, capstone event and it sold out.

Jackson’s retirement from touring has a clear cause: he is stepping away from the road because of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. He revealed in 2021 that he had been diagnosed with the degenerative nerve condition roughly a decade earlier, and the Finale is being positioned as the closing chapter of a decades-long live career.

There is a note of contradiction in the sweep of the evening. Jackson’s music has long been captured beyond arenas — he had television concert specials in 2007 and 2016 and was the subject of a documentary special in 2018 — and now a network special will enshrine what promoters call his last full-length concert. The one-night-only billing and the sold-out stadium make the Nashville show an event on the ground; the NBC taping ensures it will live on in a different way.

Jackson has watched the lineup grow. He has said the names kept coming and that the Last Call series has built growing excitement as the date nears. The mix of established stars and newer acts reflects both a peer-driven sendoff and a handoff to a younger generation of country performers.

For viewers and fans who cannot be at Nissan Stadium, the NBC special will be the avenue to see the night. For Jackson, the combination of a one-night-only stadium sendoff and a network-recorded special answers the question of whether this will be the definitive farewell: the facts point to a deliberate capstone — a sold-out, one-night finale on June 27 that will be preserved for television and posterity.
