Country music fans in Pembroke, Ontario, will have the chance to see a live performance celebrating the career of Alan Jackson when The Alan Jackson Experience comes to Festival Hall at L’Équinoxe on Friday, May 15, 2026.

The show, which begins at 7:00 p.m., features Canadian and Nashville recording artist Aaron Halliday. A two-time Entertainer of the Year award winner from the International Singer Songwriter Association, Halliday has been performing his tribute to the country music legend for over 30 years.

The performance will highlight many of Jackson’s most popular songs, including Chattahoochee, Remember When, Gone Country, and It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere. Organizers describe the concert as an upbeat experience intended to celebrate the legacy of an artist known for more than 40 number-one hits.

The event will be hosted at the 520-seat theatre, which serves as the largest performance venue between North Bay and Ottawa. The hall is owned by the City of Pembroke, the Township of Laurentian Valley, and the Town of Petawawa.

Management of the venue is currently handled by Kitchissippi Productions, a company led by Dorian Pearce. The group took over operations in January 2025, following the retirement of long-time manager Rick Wharton.
