Artists everywhere have been forced to cancel or postpone their 2020 tours, but Alan Jackson isn’t letting that stop him from entertaining his fans.

With major concerts paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the legendary entertainer is getting creative and has decided to host two drive-in concerts in Alabama.

Announced on Tuesday (May 26), Jackson’s Small Town Drive-In Concerts will take place on Friday, June 5 in Cullman, AL (at the site of the Rock the South Festival) and on Saturday, June 6 in Fairhope, AL (on the grounds of Oak Hollow Farm). According to his website, the shows will allow the Country Music Hall of Fame member to play for approximately 2,000 parked vehicles. Fans will be asked to remain in their cars and concessions will be available via phone order and delivered to concertgoers.

Both events will follow protocols from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as local social distancing guidelines.

Tickets for Alan Jackson’s Small Town Drive-In concerts go on sale Wednesday, May 27 (10:00am CT) at AlanJacksonDriveIn.com. $99.99 general admission tickets are available and will be valid for up to two passengers. Additional passenger tickets will be offered for $39.99. A limited number of VIP parking spots will also be available, starting at $199.99. A portion of proceeds from each ticket sold will be donated to food relief efforts in each region.
