🌟 Featuring special guest: John Foster – “A Soul-Stirring Revival That Breathes New Life into the Spirit of Country Music”
The Final Journey: Dolly Parton & Reba McEntire Prepare for Their 2026 Farewell Tour
The year 2026 is set to become a landmark moment in country music history as two living legends — Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire — officially announce their emotional and highly anticipated farewell tour titled “One Last Ride.” This isn’t just another tour; it’s a powerful journey — a heartfelt tribute to their legendary careers and a love letter to fans who have followed them through decades of music.
And this time, they’re not riding alone.
Joining them on stage is John Foster, the rising star who’s redefining modern country with soul and authenticity. His presence promises to inject fresh energy into this once-in-a-lifetime celebration of music, legacy, and renewal.
Icons of a Century of Sound
Dolly Parton: The Golden Heart of Tennessee
Since debuting in the 1960s, Dolly Parton has become an irreplaceable icon of country music. With over 100 million records sold, timeless hits like “Jolene”, “9 to 5”, and “Coat of Many Colors”, Dolly is more than a voice — she’s a cultural institution.
Beyond music, she’s known for her philanthropy, business savvy, writing, and even her bold foray into rock with her 2023 album “Rockstar.” And now, as she prepares to take her final bow, she’s doing it the only way she knows how — with heart, grace, and a stage.
Reba McEntire: America’s Timeless Voice
Reba is the embodiment of strength, resilience, and fiery passion for music. With over 35 chart-topping singles, more than 75 million albums sold, and a career spanning nearly five decades, she has become one of the most successful country artists in history — and a beloved TV and Broadway personality to boot.
As Dolly’s longtime friend and fellow trailblazer, her partnership on “One Last Ride” is not just a performance; it’s a historic reunion.
“One Last Ride” – More Than Just a Tour
A New Chapter Written in Memories
With its poignant title, “One Last Ride” promises to be a sweet farewell — a chance for fans to celebrate a legacy one more time. The tour is expected to run from March to October 2026, hitting over 30 cities across the U.S., Canada, and select international stops in London, Sydney, and Tokyo.
Each night will be designed as a “musical journey through time,” featuring the greatest hits of both legends, behind-the-scenes stories, emotional throwbacks, and rare duets.
An Unforgettable Stage Experience
The tour will feature a custom horseshoe-shaped stage — symbolizing country music’s rustic roots — enhanced with cutting-edge LED screens, immersive lighting, and nostalgic aesthetics. But at its heart, this is still a show about real music — raw, heartfelt, and deeply human.
John Foster – A Bridge Between Generations
A Rising Star with an Old Soul
John Foster, a fast-rising talent in today’s country scene, is the perfect choice as the special guest on this historic tour. With a voice that blends the grit of Johnny Cash and the soul of Chris Stapleton, he first gained widespread attention with his debut album “Backroads Revival” in 2024.
Personally chosen by Dolly herself, Foster shared:
“Performing alongside two legends is more than a dream — it’s a responsibility. I’m not just learning from them. I feel like I’ve been given a mission: to carry the spirit of country forward.”
Powerful Collaborations in the Works
In addition to solo performances, John Foster will join Dolly and Reba for several special duets, including an original collaboration titled “Revival Train,” written exclusively for the tour. The song is expected to be an emotional high point during each night of the tour.
Timeless Values, Reimagined
“One Last Ride” is not just a concert — it’s a hymn to the enduring values of country music: love, perseverance, home, family, and hope. In a world moving faster than ever, this genre — simple, raw, and honest — remains a grounding force.
This tour offers a rare chance for generations of fans to come together and share the same experience — from those who grew up with “Fancy” or “I Will Always Love You”, to newer fans discovering country through John Foster’s “New Dust Roads.”

According to the official announcement, tickets for “One Last Ride” will go on sale starting November 15, 2025 via the tour’s official website and major ticketing platforms. VIP packages will include:

A Farewell Steeped in Humanity
Both Dolly and Reba emphasized that “One Last Ride” is not an end, but rather a new beginning for the next generation. During the press conference announcing the tour, Dolly emotionally reflected:
“I don’t see this as a goodbye. I see it as a great big family gathering — where we hold each other through song, stories, and heart.”
Reba added:
“We’ll always live in the music. And now, there’s John — ready to carry this ride on.”
Final Thoughts
“One Last Ride” is not just a milestone for country music — it’s a celebration of heritage, memory, and hope. It’s a moment for fans, old and new, to come together and feel the soul of country music one more time — raw, beautiful, and alive.
