A one-of-a-kind tribute to piano-playin' hitman Ronnie Milsap heads to Bridgestone Arena this fall.

Set for Oct. 3 at the downtown Nashville venue, the all-star lineup includes Kelly Clarkson, Little Big Town, Parker McCollum, Justin Moore, Scotty McCreery, Sara Evans, Breland, The Band of Heathens, Charlie McCoy and more. Tickets to the concert — billed as the 80-year-old Milsap's "Final Nashville Show" — go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via ticketmaster.com.

Additional artists slated to tribute Milsap include Tracy Lawrence, Randy Houser, Lorrie Morgan, Neal McCoy, Terri Clark and Phil Vassar. More performers plan to be added in the coming weeks, according to a news release.

"I’m so excited about my last show in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena and the amazing lineup of artists," Milsap said in a media statement. "This night will be so special for me and all the fans. I love Nashville and the amazing career my fans have given me."

A six-time Grammy Award winner and 2014 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame, Milsap built a career on rousing, piano-backed performances. His steady stream of hitmaking in the 1970s and '80s bridged country with sounds of pop, R&B and rock 'n' roll music; he notched dozens of chart-topping country hits and crossover success in his decades-long career, including "(There's) No Gettin' Over Me," "It Was Almost Like A Song," "I Wouldn't Have Missed It For The World" and Tennessee state song "Smoky Mountain Rain."
