And concession stands will be taking orders over the phone for delivery to your car.<\/p>\n<p>Both shows will be \u201cstaged in accordance with and while promoting CDC and Alabama state health guidelines regarding social distancing and other practices.\u201d Meaning, concertgoers will need to stay in their cars and no one will be allowed to bring back line dancing like this:<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PSROm-vgVRk?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PSROm-vgVRk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>Jackson will be donating a portion of the proceeds from each show to food relief efforts in and around Alabama.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
