Alan Jackson's Last Concert Rides Off to NBC/Peacock

NBC is going country. The network will air Alan Jackson: The Last Show, a prime-time event commemorating the country singer's farewell concert, on Dec. 8 at 8 p.m. ET. The special heads to Peacock the following day.

A cavalcade of stars will pay tribute to Jackson: Luke Combs, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Riley Green, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Jon Pardi, Cody Johnson, Carrie Underwood, Lee Ann Womack and Thomas Rhett all make appearances in a telecast that also includes a pair of duets by Jackson and George Strait. The concert was filmed at Nashville's Nissan Stadium in June.

MCA will release a companion album, The Last Show: One More for the Road–The Finale (Live From Nashville), on Dec. 4.

HITS welcomes any excuse to raise a glass to the singer of "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere."
