The world of country music lost a memorable part of itself on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Taking the stage at a completely sold-out Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, Hall of Fame icon Alan Jackson delivered his final headline performance. Appropriately titled “Last Call: One More for the Road-The Finale,” the emotional night brought together decades of legendary hits, a stadium full of tearful fans, and an incredible lineup of surprise guests who showed up to honor one of the greatest traditionalists in country music history.
For fans who weren’t able to witness the magic in person, the newly revealed official setlist captures the sweeping, retrospective energy of Jackson‘s final bow.
Starting with the Anthems
Alan Jackson didn’t ease into the evening; he kicked the doors wide open. When he opened his final set with ‘Gone Country,’ the stadium instantly erupted. It was the perfect opening thesis for a career built on keeping country music true to its roots. He quickly followed up with foundational hits like “I Don’t Even Know Your Name,” “Livin’ on Love,” and his beloved rendition of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues.”
The early part of the setlist showed off Jackson’s signature blend of neo-traditional honky-tonk rhythms and deeply atmospheric storytelling. Fans were treated to a haunting performance of “Midnight in Montgomery” and a stellar cover of Hank Williams Jr.’s “The Blues Man.”
The King Joins the Stage
One of the most unforgettable highlights of the night arrived midway through the set when country music royalty collided. George Strait stepped onto the stage to massive roars from the Nashville crowd. Together, the two titans dusted off their 2001 hit “Designated Drinker,” marking the first time they had performed it live together since 2017.
They followed it up with a biting, soulful performance of “Murder on Music Row,” a song that felt exceptionally poignant being sung one last time in the heart of Nashville.
Emotional Peaks and High-Energy Favorites
The back half of the evening balanced pure, high-octane fun with deeply emotional milestones. Fan favorites like “Little Bitty,” “Country Boy,” and “Good Time” kept tens of thousands of people dancing in the stadium aisles.
However, the tone turned to pure reverence when Jackson played “Drive (For Daddy Gene)” and his signature post-9/11 anthem, “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning).” It was a sobering reminder of Jackson’s outsized influence on American culture to hear a stadium full of voices singing those choruses back at him.
Jackson rounded out the main set by unleashing his most timeless party anthems, including “Don’t Rock the Jukebox,” “Remember When,” and the ultimate crowd-pleaser, “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere.”
