When Jackson revealed his diagnosis, he wasn’t sure how much he’d be able to tour in the future. So fans were surprised when Jackson announced on Friday (March 11) he is embarking on a new tour in 2022.
Jackson’s new tour is called Last Call: One More for the Road. The name of the tour makes it sound like a farewell tour, but Jackson does not outright describe it as such:
“I’ve always admired my heroes like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn and Charley Pride who just played as much as they wanted to, as long as they could,” Jackson said in a statement posted on his official website. “I’ve always thought I’d like to do that, and I’d like to as long as my health will allow.”

Jackson’s tour will kick off in the summer and continue through the fall:
“The three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year will thrill audiences – visiting cities and areas he hasn’t in several years for the last time – as fans relive hits like ‘Chattahoochee’ and ‘It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere’ night-after-night,” reads the press release about the tour.
$1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the CMT Research Foundation. The Foundation funds research for drug development related to CMT.
Tickets for most of the cities will go on sale on March 18. Flip through the slideshow below to see all of the venues Jackson’s visiting.
