Alan Jackson Confirms Final Roadshow Performance, Plans Emotional Farewell Concert in Nashville for 2026

Country music icon Alan Jackson has officially played his last touring show, closing the chapter on a legendary career that has spanned over four decades.

On Saturday, May 17, the Country Music Hall of Famer took the stage for the final stop of his Last Call: One More for the Road Tour at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With a sold-out crowd in attendance, Jackson delivered a heartfelt performance that marked the end of an era—not only for him but for millions of fans who have followed his journey from Nashville newcomer to country royalty.

Alan Jackson’s Final Roadshow: A Poignant Farewell in Milwaukee

Though the tour began in 2022, fans speculated for years whether it would truly be Jackson’s last. On Saturday night, however, the 66-year-old country legend confirmed that Milwaukee was indeed the final roadshow of his storied touring career.

“Y’all may have heard that I’m kinda winding down. In fact, this is my last roadshow,” Jackson shared from the stage, earning a standing ovation. “Y’all gonna make me tear up up here.”

One Last Goodbye: Nashville 2026 Finale in the Works

While Milwaukee was his final tour stop, Jackson also announced a special farewell concert planned for Nashville in Summer 2026.

“I will say that this is my last road show out here, but we’re planning on doing a big finale show in Nashville next summer sometime. I just felt like I had to end it all where it all started, and that’s in Nashville, Tennessee.”

No exact date or venue details have been released yet, but anticipation is already building for what promises to be a historic night in country music.

A Journey That Defined the American Dream

Reflecting on his rise to fame, Jackson added:

“It’s been a long, sweet ride. It started 40 years ago this September. My wife and I drove to Nashville with an ol’ U-Haul trailer, and chased this dream. It’s been a crazy ride. I lived the American dream for sure.”

Alan Jackson’s influence on country music includes 35 No. 1 hits, multiple CMA and ACM Awards, and induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2017. His legacy is not just built on chart success, but on authentic storytelling and traditional country roots.

Living With Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

In 2021, Jackson publicly revealed he had been diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT)—a hereditary condition affecting the peripheral nervous system, which can cause muscle weakness, balance issues, and difficulty walking. Though not life-threatening, the condition has increasingly limited his ability to tour and perform.

“I never wanted to do the big retirement tour, like people do, then take a year off and then come back,” Jackson once said. “I think that’s kinda cheesy.”

True to his word, Jackson avoided a dramatic farewell tour. Instead, he let the road wind down naturally—until this quiet but definitive moment in Milwaukee.
