Alan Jackson will perform a pair of shows next month in Alabama as he launches his first-ever “Small Town Drive-In” concerts – presented by Pepsi - in a unique “drive-in meets concert” experience.

Jackson will stage two shows – June 5 in Cullman, AL (on the open-field site of the long-running Rock the South festival) and June 6 in Fairhope, AL (on the grounds of Oak Hollow Farm).

Alan's Small Town Drive-In concerts will find him playing to an audience of approximately 2000 parked vehicles. Both events will be staged in accordance with CDC and Alabama state health guidelines regarding social distancing and other practices. Concertgoers will be required to stay with their vehicles, and concessions will be provided only via phone orders with delivery to vehicles.

A portion of all proceeds from each Small Town Drive-In concert will go toward food relief efforts in the respective regions, which have been taxed more than usual due to current events and resulting economic circumstances.
