This fall, Disneyland California will trade its fairytale chorus for the gentle hum of a steel guitar. For the first time ever, Alan Jackson, the voice of country honesty and heart, will headline a three-night concert spectacular at the world’s most iconic theme park — a union of southern soul and timeless wonder.
The special event, “Alan Jackson: A Country Christmas at the Castle,” will run from November 15 to 17, 2025, transforming the Disneyland Resort into a living portrait of America’s story — one painted in melody, memory, and faith.
FROM HONKY-TONK ROOTS TO MAGIC KINGDOM LIGHTS
For decades, Alan Jackson has sung about small towns, front porches, and Sunday mornings — stories rooted in the heart of America. Now, those same songs will echo across Sleeping Beauty Castle, beneath a California night sky filled with fireworks and thousands of voices singing along.
“It’s an honor to bring a little bit of country to a place that’s always been about dreams,” Jackson said in a statement. “Disney’s got magic, and country music’s got heart — together, that’s a pretty good mix.”
The setlist will feature a blend of his timeless hits — “Remember When,” “Chattahoochee,” “Drive (For Daddy Gene),” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” — accompanied by a full orchestra and Disney’s signature stage production.
A CELEBRATION OF FAMILY, FAITH, AND MUSIC
Disney executives described the event as more than just a concert — it’s a generational moment. “Alan’s music speaks to the same values Walt Disney built this place on — family, hope, and integrity,” said one spokesperson. “It’s going to be a night where people don’t just hear the songs, they feel them.”
Fans attending can expect a truly immersive experience. Each evening will begin with Disney’s Main Street Parade of Lights, leading guests toward the castle where Jackson will take the stage at 7:30 PM. As his final song fades, the sky will erupt in a synchronized fireworks display set to his gospel-inspired track “Precious Memories.”
WHERE COUNTRY MEETS WONDER
The collaboration marks one of the most unexpected crossovers in entertainment history — a Nashville legend meeting the most famous theme park in the world.
“Alan doesn’t just perform,” said a longtime fan. “He reminds people what it feels like to be home. Seeing that kind of truth under the fireworks — that’s going to be something special.”
Tickets are already generating massive buzz, with early projections predicting sellouts within minutes of release. Disney has announced that limited-edition commemorative posters and vinyl pressings of “Alan Jackson: Live at Disneyland” will be available exclusively at the event.
THE KINGDOM GETS A LITTLE MORE COUNTRY
At 66, Alan Jackson’s voice remains as pure and steady as the songs that built his legacy. Though health challenges in recent years have slowed his touring schedule, this performance marks a triumphant return to the stage — and perhaps his most symbolic one yet.
“This isn’t about the spotlight,” Jackson shared in a recent interview. “It’s about bringing people together through music — the kind that lasts longer than the applause.”
For Disney, it’s a partnership born out of respect. For fans, it’s a dream come true. And for Alan Jackson, it’s another chance to prove that even in the most magical place on earth, real stories, sung from the heart, never go out of style.
