George Jones Nashville Curtain Call

Every farewell tour has its milestones and for George Jones fans the biggest night just might be in November 2013 when the legendary country singer plays Nashville for the very last time.

Jones is offering his final concert goodbyes on “The Grand Tour” which so far has no end date but now has bookings extending 12 months in advance. Although his Nov. 22, 2013 show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena is the last date currently listed on the routing, Jones’ people aren’t saying it’s the very last date on the tour.

Instead, they’re positioning it as the very last time Jones will play Music City, saying the artist who inspired generations of country performers will play approximately 60 stops in 2013.

For the Nashville gig Jones will be joined by special guest Tanya Tucker plus other friends yet to be announced.
