Dolly Parton, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire & Blake Shelton Unite for the 2026 “One Last Ride” Tour
It is the moment country music fans both dreamed of and dreaded — the official announcement of “One Last Ride” (2026), a farewell tour unlike any other. Six voices that have defined generations — Dolly Parton, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, and Blake Shelton — will stand shoulder to shoulder for one last journey across America’s stages.
This tour is not simply another concert series. It is a living chapter of history, a chance to witness the gathering of legends whose songs have shaped the heart of a nation. Together, they represent nearly three centuries of music — from the trailblazing brilliance of Dolly Parton to George Strait’s crown as the King of Country, Alan Jackson’s small-town poetry, Reba’s fire and resilience, Carrie’s soaring power, and Blake’s bridge between the old and the new.
A Celebration Beyond Music
At each stop, the stage will not be just a stage. It will be a sanctuary of memories. Fans will hear the songs that carried them through first loves, broken hearts, family dinners, and nights on the backroads. “Jolene,” “Amarillo By Morning,” “Chattahoochee,” “Fancy,” “Before He Cheats,” and “God’s Country” — every note will be more than entertainment. It will be remembrance.
As Dolly Parton said through misty eyes at the announcement press conference:
💬 “We’ve all sung our songs for decades, but this tour is about more than us. It’s about saying thank you — to the fans, to the music, to the life we’ve been blessed to share.”
George Strait added softly:
💬 “This isn’t a farewell to music. It’s a farewell to the road. And we wanted to do it together, as a family.”
The Last Pilgrimage
For fans, the tour is already being called a pilgrimage. Tickets are expected to sell faster than any in country music history, with venues preparing for record-breaking demand. Many say this will be the last time to see all six icons on the same stage — a once-in-a-lifetime gathering, never to be repeated.
Carrie Underwood reflected on what it means for the younger generation of artists to share the stage with such giants:
💬 “To stand with Dolly, Reba, George, and Alan is like standing at the roots of the tree that grew all of us. I just want to honor them, and honor what they’ve given to every woman who ever dreamed of singing country music.”
A Night of Legacy
The closing moments of each show are rumored to bring all six artists together in one final medley — a chorus of voices rising not for applause, but for legacy. Imagine it: Dolly and Reba harmonizing on “I Will Always Love You,” George Strait and Alan Jackson trading verses on “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” Carrie Underwood lifting “How Great Thou Art” to the rafters, and Blake Shelton grounding it all with “God’s Country.”
When the last chord fades, it won’t just be the end of a concert. It will be the end of an era.
More Than a Goodbye
“One Last Ride” is not about sadness alone. It is about gratitude — for the songs that told America’s story, for the legends who carried them across decades, and for the fans whose voices made them eternal.
As Reba McEntire summed it up:
💬 “We’re not just closing a chapter. We’re writing it in bold letters, sealing it with love, and handing it back to the people who gave us these lives in the first place — the fans.”
And so, in 2026, the curtain will rise one final time. Six legends. One stage. One last ride through the heart of country music — a ride that will echo forever.
