Bailey Zimmerman’s current tour has sadly been cut short, but not because of personal reasons. The country music superstar, 25, took to social media over the weekend to share that he was forced to cancel the final date of his New To Country Tour due to various logistics involving “production limitations” and an unsafe stage.
Zimmerman was scheduled to play at the Rio Vista Outdoor Amphitheater at Harrah’s Laughlin in Laughlin, Nev., on Saturday, Sept. 13, but rather than taking the stage, he jumped online with an apology note, letting fans know he was unable to perform the show as planned.
“This is something an artist never wants to tell their fans…” Zimmerman began in an Instagram post that featured a simple black backdrop. “I am beyond disappointed, and I’m sorry, but we have to cancel our show tonight in Laughlin, NV.”

“Being completely transparent, y’all, this has nothing to do with me or my team,” he insisted. “We showed up today fully prepared to end the New To Country Tour the right way, but due to unforeseen local production limitations and the stage being unsafe, it’s what we have to do.”
Zimmerman went on to say that despite his disappointment in not being able to perform for his fans, “The safety of y’all, my band, and my crew is the most important thing to me, and I just can’t put y’all at risk. I really hate disappointing you all, and I hate ending the tour this way, but like I said, it’s what I have to do…Hope to see y’all in 2026…I love y’all so much.”
In addition to his message, Zimmerman vowed to rectify the situation for the missed show in the future, adding, “We tried everything to make it work tonight… I’m so sorry :(. I’ll make this right, I promise!!!”
Fans Share Love and Support Amid the News
Fans took to the comments section of Zimmerman’s post to share their sympathy and let him know that they understood where he was coming from, with one person writing, “I’m so sorry, BZ! I know you care soooo much about your fans and team. This must have been such a hard choice. Sending hugs 🫂💖.”
“Sad, but you and your crew need to be safe,” another follower wrote. “Can’t wait for the Different Night Same Rodeo tour ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
A third person added, “@bailey.zimmerman I know you’re disappointed your tour had to end this way, but your safety comes first. You put on one heck of a tour and had the coolest entrance I’ve seen in a long time. I’m so proud of you and I love you ❤️.”
