Alan Jackson may be playing his final show this summer but that doesn't mean he's retiring. The country legend just helped announce the first ever 5 O'Clock Somewhere Fest.

  • Alan Jackson's 5 O'Clock Somewhere Fest is happening June 12-13 at the Palm Beaches in Florida.
  • Ella Langley and Old Dominion will headline a lineup that includes 10 musical acts, plus comedian Dusty Slay.
  • Tickets go on sale March 27 through the festival website.

In statement, Jackson said that even though he'll quit performing live this summer, he still wanted to bring fans the experience. Thus the creation of a new festival named after one of his biggest hits.

Jackson and Jimmy Buffett made “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere” a huge hit in 2003. Jim “Moose” Brown and Don Rollins wrote the song and it’s become a staple on country radio for the last two decades. In fact the song is so popular that Slay — the festival’s lone stand-up comedian — does a bit on it.

Beyond Langley and Old Dominion, the rest of the festival's lineup is heavy on country legends.
