Bailey Zimmerman Tour 2026

Inside Bailey Zimmerman

Bailey Zimmerman is the southern-Illinois-bred country newcomer who turned a stack of TikTok-recorded acoustic demos into one of the fastest commercial breakouts the country format has produced this decade. Born January 27, 2000 in Louisville, Illinois — population under twelve hundred, deep in the Wabash River farm country of Clay County — he was working full-time on a natural-gas pipeline crew and singing in his pickup truck on the drive home when a phone-recorded clip of him covering Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses" went viral on TikTok in late 2020.

The follow-up — a self-written original called "Never Comin' Home" that he posted in 2021 with the same iPhone-and-bedroom production — pulled forty million Spotify streams inside a year, drew the attention of Warner Music Nashville and Elektra, and dragged Zimmerman off the pipeline and onto the Music Row writers'-round circuit faster than almost any country-major signing of the 2020s. The major-label debut "Religiously.

The Album." arrived May 2023 with "Fall in Love" and "Rock and a Hard Place" already established as platinum-plus country radio hits, and the album took the top of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart on debut. The follow-up cycle has carried the same blue-collar, heartbreak-and-pickup-trucks throughline — viral TikTok demos turning into country radio singles turning into arena and stadium support runs behind Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs.

By the back half of his major-label debut cycle Zimmerman had logged direct support across multiple legs of Wallen's One Night at a Time and I'm the Problem World Tours, headline theatre and amphitheater runs in his own right, and a touring footprint that pulled the routing through the country-fair, rodeo and casino circuit alongside the marquee arena dates. This page is the landing spot for current Bailey Zimmerman tour dates, ticket information, setlists and city-specific show notes, kept evergreen year-round so it tracks every Religiously cycle leg, every Wallen and Combs support run, and every fall fair routing as the schedule rolls out.

About Bailey Zimmerman

Bailey Mason Zimmerman was born January 27, 2000 in Louisville, Illinois — a courthouse-square town of fewer than twelve hundred people in southern Illinois, three hours south of Chicago and an hour east of St. Louis along the Wabash River farm-country corridor of Clay County.

His father was a heavy-equipment operator and his mother a homemaker; the family was active in the local Pentecostal church and Zimmerman sang in the congregation from age six. He played football at North Clay High School, graduated in 2018, and went straight into a pipeline-welding job on a natural-gas crew that worked rotating multi-state hitches across the Midwest.

He told Rolling Stone in a 2023 cover interview that he had never seriously considered a music career until he and a cousin started recording iPhone covers of Morgan Wallen, Hardy and Luke Combs in the truck on the drive home from work; one of the clips — a roughly-mixed bedroom cover of Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses" — pulled millions of TikTok views in late 2020 and turned into a small but rapidly growing online following.

The original song that broke him out was "Never Comin' Home", a self-written breakup ballad he posted to TikTok in early 2021 with no label, no publishing deal and no Music Row connection. The song pulled forty million Spotify streams inside a year, drew attention from Warner Music Nashville and Elektra Records, and led to a 2021 development deal that turned into a full Warner Music Nashville signing within months.

The pipeline job came off the calendar and Zimmerman moved to Nashville full-time. The "Leave the Light On" EP arrived October 2022 on Warner Music Nashville with "Fall in Love" already climbing country radio; the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in early 2023 and was certified triple-platinum.

"Rock and a Hard Place" followed and ran to No. 1 in the summer of 2023, also triple-platinum. The full-length major-label debut "Religiously.

The Album." landed May 12, 2023, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, and stayed inside the country top five for more than a year. The follow-up "Different Night Same Rodeo" project (released across staggered singles through 2024 and 2025 with the full LP cycle continuing into the next phase) has leaned harder into the southern-rock and country-rock production palette — fewer power ballads, more pickup-truck-and-pedal-steel arrangements — and the touring footprint has caught up.

Direct-support runs behind Morgan Wallen on the One Night at a Time and I'm the Problem World Tour stadium dates and behind Luke Combs on his World Tour legs gave Zimmerman an immediate stadium-tier audience long before his own headline routing could fill that scale; the headline operation has run through theaters, amphitheaters and select arena rooms across multiple legs, with the country fair, state fair and rodeo circuit picking up the warm-weather months.

Bailey Zimmerman tour dates

The current Bailey Zimmerman touring chapter splits across three distinct routing modes — direct-support arena and stadium runs behind Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs, his own headline theater and amphitheater Religiously / Different Night Same Rodeo cycle dates, and the warm-weather country fair, state fair, rodeo and casino circuit that picks up the bulk of his July-through-September calendar. Direct-support runs behind Wallen on the One Night at a Time and I'm the Problem World Tour stadium dates have put Zimmerman in front of 50,000-plus-cap audiences at NFL- and CFL-scale venues including Soldier Field in Chicago, AT&T Stadium in Arlington, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, BC Place in Vancouver and Rogers Centre in Toronto.

Luke Combs World Tour support runs have layered on additional Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Lumen Field and Bank of America Stadium dates. Zimmerman's own headline run pulls into the 2,500-to-6,000-cap theater and amphitheater tier — Ryman Auditorium and Brooklyn Bowl Nashville on the Music City run, the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Stubb's BBQ in Austin, the Ogden Theatre in Denver, the Wiltern in Los Angeles and the House of Blues circuit in Boston, Chicago and Anaheim.

The fair-and-rodeo block is where Zimmerman's blue-collar audience overlap with the working-class fairgrounds country crowd shows up directly — Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo at NRG Stadium, San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming, the Calgary Stampede grandstand, the Iowa State Fair grandstand in Des Moines, the Minnesota State Fair grandstand in St. Paul and the Indiana State Fair grandstand in Indianapolis all rotate through his summer routing.

Sets run a tight 60-to-75-minute support slot or 75-to-90-minute headline configuration with the band running a four-to-five-piece electric setup; door times are typically 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. for the headline theater dates and 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. for the stadium support runs. The grid above pulls the live schedule directly from Ticketmaster and updates as new Religiously and Different Night Same Rodeo cycle dates, Wallen and Combs support legs and fall fair bookings are confirmed and added.

Bailey Zimmerman tickets

Bailey Zimmerman tickets are sold through Ticketmaster as the primary outlet on most arena, amphitheater, theater and fair dates, with secondary inventory on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster's own verified resale platform linked from each event card on this page. Theater-tier headline dates often run through AEG Presents at venues like the Wiltern and the Ogden, with primary ticketing through AXS or Ticketmaster depending on the venue.

Theater pricing for a Religiously or Different Night Same Rodeo headline date typically opens with GA floor or reserved-seat tickets in the $40–$75 range and balcony or rear-section seats at $30–$55, with VIP packages including soundcheck access, photo opportunity and signed memorabilia climbing into the $200–$350 zone. Amphitheater pricing as a headline runs lawn $25–$40, reserved pavilion $50–$95, premium pit $125–$200.

State fair grandstand and rodeo grandstand dates are typically the cheapest entry point in his entire routing — many state fair grandstand bookings include the show with general fair admission, with reserved-seat upgrades in the $20–$60 band on top of the gate ticket. When Zimmerman is the direct support on a Wallen stadium tour or Combs World Tour date, ticketing follows the headliner's pricing structure rather than his own and the secondary market dynamics of those tours apply.

Fan club and email-list presales through the official Bailey Zimmerman site usually open the Tuesday before the Friday public on-sale and remain the best path to good seats on Nashville, Dallas, Chicago and Denver dates where Zimmerman's headline rooms sell out fast. Dynamic pricing applies on most of his on-sales; refresh secondary the week of the show on midweek theater dates and you'll often catch a 20 percent drop on reserved-seat tiers.

Always buy from a marketplace with a buyer guarantee.

Bailey Zimmerman setlist

A current Bailey Zimmerman setlist runs about sixteen to twenty songs across 75 to 90 minutes as the headliner, with the catalogue still young enough that nearly every song on the LP gets a slot on a given night. The Religiously cycle has typically opened with the up-tempo southern-rock cut "Hell or High Water" or the title-track album opener "Religiously" to set the louder, fuller arena-rock tone of the live show against the more contained acoustic-record vibe of the album mixes.

The early run pulls the radio singles front-loaded — "Fall in Love", the triple-platinum country chart No. 1 that broke him out, lands roughly four to five songs in and turns into the first full-room singalong of the night, with "Rock and a Hard Place" close behind and the breakout original "Never Comin' Home" sitting around the one-third mark as a deliberate nod to the TikTok-origin-story moment. The middle stretch pulls in the Different Night Same Rodeo singles cycle material — "Where It Ends", "Holy Smokes" and the slower ballads "You Don't Want That Smoke" and "Found Your Love" — with an acoustic mini-set typically including a stripped-down "Religiously" and one rotating cover (Morgan Wallen, Hardy, Travis Tritt and Eric Church have all rotated through the cover slot across recent legs).

The back half snaps into the louder pickup-truck-and-pedal-steel arrangements with "Where It Ends", "Trying", "Get to Gettin' Gone" and "Hell or High Water" running through the closing arc. The encore is typically a single track — the closer is most often "Rock and a Hard Place" running as the platinum singalong send-off or, on certain markets, a Morgan Wallen cover paying back the direct-support-tour debt.

Check setlist.fm after the first night of any new Bailey Zimmerman leg for the current run order; fan submissions usually go up within a couple of hours of last call.
