The “Gone Country” singer announced on his website that his final concert will be filmed by NBC to air in primetime later this year.
Alan Jackson: The Last Show will air in primetime on NBC later this year, hitting Peacock the next day for those who miss it. The special promises to capture Jackson’s final concert on June 27 at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, celebrating the country legend’s career. The primetime event will honor his “enduring legacy and profound impact on generations of fans and musicians alike as he takes the stage one final time.”
The special will spotlight Jackson’s three-decade catalog of hits.
The “Chattahoochee” singer is stepping away from touring to manage his battle with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), a hereditary nerve condition. The 67-year-old first revealed his diagnosis in 2021.

Meanwhile, the final concert will feature a lineup of country stars, including Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Lee Ann Womack.
