Country Legends Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, and Blake Shelton Announce the 2026 Tour “One Last Ride” — A Soul-Stirring Revival Breathing New Life into the Timeless Spirit of Country Music
It’s the kind of announcement that stops the heart of every country music fan — a lineup so powerful, it feels like a dream. For the first time, Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, and Blake Shelton will share the same stage for the 2026 tour “One Last Ride”, a multi-generational celebration of the songs, stories, and traditions that have defined the genre for decades.
The tour is being billed as a revival — not just of music, but of spirit. Spanning cities across the United States, it will bring together six artists whose combined careers have produced hundreds of charting hits, countless awards, and an immeasurable impact on the culture of country music.
“This isn’t about saying goodbye,” Alan Jackson shared in a statement. “It’s about saying thank you — to the fans, to each other, and to the music that’s given us a life we never could have imagined.”
Dolly Parton, never one to shy away from big emotions, called it “a family reunion for the whole country music world.” George Strait, the “King of Country,” emphasized that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime event: “You don’t get all these voices on the same stage very often — so when you do, you make it count.”
The concept for “One Last Ride” began as a conversation between longtime friends Alan Jackson and George Strait, who had been discussing their own possible joint tour. When word reached Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Carrie Underwood, and Blake Shelton, the idea quickly evolved into something bigger — a generational bridge, uniting legends and modern stars in one historic journey.
The shows will be designed to feel less like a concert and more like a living, breathing story of country music. Each night will feature solo performances, one-of-a-kind duets, and full-cast collaborations on classics that have stood the test of time. Fans can expect to hear everything from “Jolene” to “Friends in Low Places”, “Remember When” to “Before He Cheats”, and “Fancy” to “Austin.”
Beyond the music, each artist will share personal reflections — moments from their careers, the people who inspired them, and the stories behind the songs. The intention is to create not just entertainment, but a shared memory for everyone in the audience.
Reba McEntire summed it up best:
“We’ve all lived a lot of life since our first hit songs. This tour is about taking those stories — the joy, the heartbreak, the faith, the laughter — and sharing them together, as one big family.”
The “One Last Ride” tour will span from spring through late fall 2026, with tickets expected to sell out within minutes once they go on sale. Already, fans are calling it “the biggest country tour of all time” — and judging by the names on the poster, they might just be right.
When the last encore fades and the final bow is taken, “One Last Ride” will not only stand as a historic tour — it will be remembered as a heartfelt love letter to the genre, a bridge between generations, and proof that country music’s soul will never fade.
