After more than five decades of pioneering artistry, Jessi Colter, the First Lady of Outlaw Country, has announced her 2026 “One Last Ride” Tour, signaling what may be her final journey through the heart of country music. Known for her soulful voice and deep connection to the outlaw movement, Jessi’s upcoming tour will be an emotional celebration of her legendary career, marked by music, memories, and the spirit that made her an icon.
From “I’m Not Lisa” to “Storms Never Last”, Jessi Colter has gifted us songs that transcend the ordinary, carrying the weight of love, loss, and the open road. Her music isn’t just a collection of melodies—it’s a tapestry of life’s rawest truths, told with strength and vulnerability. For fans of country music, Jessi’s songs have always been more than just tunes—they’ve been anthems of resilience, honesty, and emotion, capturing the essence of the outlaw spirit.
This farewell tour promises to honor not only Jessi’s remarkable legacy but also the outlaw movement she helped shape alongside legends like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and others who revolutionized the country music scene. The 2026 “One Last Ride” Tour will take fans on a journey through the timeless songs that defined an era, delivered with the raw emotion and authenticity only Jessi can provide.
Filmed in her Arizona home, surrounded by dusty guitars and family photos, Jessi addressed her fans directly in her heartfelt announcement: “Every mile, every song, every stage — you’ve been there with me. I’ve been blessed beyond measure to sing my truth, and now it’s time to take one last ride… together.”
The tour will hit 20 cities, beginning in Phoenix, Arizona, in April and culminating in a deeply emotional final performance in Nashville, Tennessee. The final night is expected to be a star-studded event, with appearances from friends, fellow musicians, and fans who have supported Jessi throughout her incredible career. While special guests remain unannounced, there is already speculation about appearances from members of the Jennings family, Willie Nelson, and younger artists influenced by Jessi’s fearless legacy.
As excitement builds for the tour, one question remains: will this truly be Jessi’s last ride, or is there still another chapter to write in her remarkable story? Tickets for the tour go on sale next month, with pre-sale access available for fan club members. Confirmed cities include Phoenix, Austin, Dallas, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Nashville, alongside a few “special stops” in towns where Jessi’s journey has left an unforgettable mark.
For those who have followed her music and life, this tour is more than just a farewell—it’s a final opportunity to stand together in a room filled with love, history, and the unmistakable voice that captured hearts for over fifty years. As the road winds toward its end, Jessi Colter’s “One Last Ride” will serve as a testament to her unwavering devotion to her craft, her audience, and the outlaw spirit that will forever echo through the heart of country music.
