A true family affair, Montgomery will be joined by his brother, Eddie Montgomery, along with his son, Walker Montgomery and son-in-law, Travis Denning.
"I stepped on a tour bus for the first time in 1992 and haven't looked back since," Montgomery says. "But now it's time to bring it all back home for my last concert, and I can't think of a better place than Rupp Arena. I wanted to celebrate this occasion with my family, so I invited some of them to perform with me. We are going to have a lot of fun and end this ride in a big way."
Presale for the concert begins on Wednesday, July 30 and runs through Thursday, July 31, using the presale code MORGAN. Tickets to the general public will begin on Friday, August 1, at 10:00 AM.

John Michael Montgomery announced at the start of 2024 that he was retiring.
"I hope everyone enjoyed bringing in 2024 and may it be a wonderful one for all my friends out there," Montgomery says in his statement, which he
shared on social media. "For me it will be the start of my farewell tour as I have decided to wind down my touring career over this year and 2025. It's been a wonderful run for me from the beginning over 30 years ago in 1992 when my first song 'Life's a Dance' was released to radio I think either as a 45 vinyl or on a cassette tape. CDs had not quite taken over the market yet and the internet was still in its infancy."It amazes me where it is today. I've been fortunate and blessed to be able to do what I love for so many years so. Please join me on my journey as I say goodbye to the road life. And thanks so much for your support for the last three decades," he concludes. "It's meant so much to me."
