DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — Country music star Jamey Johnson is heading to the Wiregrass this summer with his brand-new tour, “The Last Honky Tonk Tour.”
The show will take place Friday, August 22 at 7:00 p.m. inside the Dothan Civic Center Arena.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the event is open to all ages. A special presale is now live, fans can use the code DOTHAN to access early tickets.
Johnson, a Montgomery native and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, says the tour is both a celebration and a tribute. He recently recorded “The Last Honky Tonk,” originally released in 2010 by The Wayne Mills Band, and named the tour in honor of the late Wayne Mills and guitarist Jason “Rowdy” Cope, two close friends Johnson lost in recent years.
“This is my 20th year on the road, not counting the road gigs I did in the 10 years before that,” Johnson said. “It’s a chance for us to hang out every night, where we get to walk onstage and show off what we’ve learned.”
Johnson’s newest version of “The Last Honky Tonk” includes guitar work from Jack Mills, son of Wayne Mills.
“His dad would be proud,” Johnson said. “Let’s break that song out and get Jack to play guitar on it. I’m proud to have him playing on it.”
The tour will feature music from Johnson’s most recent album, Midnight Gasoline, released in late 2024, which is his first solo record in 14 years, alongside fan favorites from previous albums.
