Country music icon announces farewell tour: ‘This is one last call’

Alan Jackson announced his “Last Call: One More for the Road” tour on Thursday.

The tour is set to start on Aug. 2 and continue through May 17, 2025.

The 65-year-old country icon told fans in a video, “This is one last call that you don’t want to miss.”

“I’ve been touring for over 30 years – my daughters are all grown, we have one grandchild and one on the way…and I’m enjoying spending more time at home,” Jackson shared in a press statement. “But my fans always show up to have a good time, and I’m going to give them the best show I can for this Last Call.”

Jackson revealed in 2021 that he has Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a chronic neuropathy condition that effects a person’s balance and ability to walk.

“Fans know when they come to my shows, they’re going to hear the songs that made me who I am — the ones they love,” Jackson said per Billboard. “I’ve been touring for over 30 years — my daughters are all grown, we have one grandchild and one on the way … and I’m enjoying spending more time at home. By my fans always show up to have a good time, and I’m going to give them the best show I can for this ‘Last Call’.”
