Bailey Zimmerman’s Florida Setlist: Every Song From the Energetic Opening Night

Country star Bailey Zimmerman kicked off his first headlining arena tour last night (Feb. 19) at Hertz Arena in Estero, Fla., performing an energetic, sold-out show.

Dubbed the Different Night Same Rodeo tour, after his current album, Zimmerman ran through a slew of hits in the 22-set, including “Backup Plan,” “Rock and a Hard Place” and “Religiously.”

After delivering their opening sets, Hudson Westbrook and Blake Whiten each joined Zimmerman as well: Westbrook on “New to Country” and Whiten on “Hell or High Water.”

It’s been a rapid rise for Zimmerman, who only released his first major label full studio album in 2022 and never performed live before 2021: The Illinois native, who had been building gas pipelines as recently as 2020, began uploading performance videos to TikTok, including original song “Never Comin’ Home,” and quickly signed a label deal four years ago. He’s never looked back.

During his short career, he’s already scored four No. 1s on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart: “Fall in Love,” “Rock and a Hard Place,” “Religiously” and “Where it Ends.” “All the Way,” his collaboration with BigXthaPlug, went to the top of Hot Country Songs.

The Different Night Same Rodeo tour, promoted by Live Nation, heads to Athens, Georgia Saturday night (Feb. 21) and will stop in more than 30 cities across North America before ending June 20 in Ottawa, Ontario at Canadian Tire Centre. Other key stops include Boston’s TD Garden, Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena, Toronto’s RBC Amphitheaters and two nights at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater.

Below is Zimmerman’s setlist from his opening night.
