Introduction:
The country music community is alive with anticipation as six of its most cherished stars — Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, and Blake Shelton — have come together to announce the 2026 “ONE LAST RIDE” Tour. This remarkable collaboration is set to honor the traditions of the past, light up the present, and leave a lasting inspiration for the future of the genre.
Beginning in March 2026, the tour will travel through major cities across the United States, offering audiences a rare opportunity to witness history in the making. Each evening will include solo performances from every artist, heartfelt tributes to the trailblazers of country music, and unforgettable moments of collaboration on stage. More than a concert, the tour is being billed as a celebration of stories, harmonies, and the timeless spirit that has bound generations of country fans together.
“This isn’t just another tour,” Dolly Parton shared in the announcement video. “It’s our way of saying thank you — to the fans who have walked this journey with us, and to the music that has carried us all through life.”
George Strait, affectionately known as The King of Country, described the tour as “a once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with dear friends who have defined what country music means to America.” Alan Jackson, stepping back into the spotlight after years away, reflected on the deeper meaning of the event: “This is a bridge between the golden age we grew up in and the new voices carrying country music forward.” Carrie Underwood, representing a younger generation, expressed her gratitude: “To share the stage with these icons is an honor beyond words. We want to give fans something they’ll never forget.”
With a blend of beloved classics, stirring duets, and modern production that still tips its hat to Nashville’s roots, “ONE LAST RIDE” is destined to be more than a tour — it is poised to become a milestone in country music history.
Tickets are set to go on sale this fall, and with demand already soaring, fans are urged to act quickly. For country music lovers, this isn’t just an event; it’s a moment to witness legends sharing their final ride together, creating memories that will echo for generations to come.
