Bailey Zimmerman: New To Country Tour

September 4, 2025 – Stir Cove – Council Bluffs, IA

Thursday night, September 4, 2025, Stir Cove in Council Bluffs was the place to be because Bailey Zimmerman brought his New To Country Tour to town, and it was amazing. The 25-year-old country sensation gave the sold-out crowd their money’s worth and then some.

The night kicked off with Drew Baldridge, who set the tone with high energy and plenty of crowd interaction. Baldridge has been carving out his place in country music for years, and his breakout hit “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” has earned over a billion streams and even went No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart — a history-making achievement for an independent artist. His set was a blast, mixing his own songs with some fun 90s country covers. One of the funniest moments of the night came when Bailey Zimmerman himself popped out in a chicken costume, getting chased around the stage by security while Baldridge kept playing. It was hilarious and had the whole crowd roaring.

Next up was Dylan Marlowe, who slowed things down just a touch but still brought great energy and really connected with the audience. Marlowe is quickly making a name for himself — he co-wrote Jon Pardi’s hit “Last Night Lonely” and recently earned his first RIAA Gold certification with “Boys Back Home.” He already has over 1.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and with songs like his latest single “Coming Home Tomorrow,” it’s easy to see why.

After a quick set change, it was Bailey Zimmerman’s time, and he made sure to make an entrance. He literally swung onto the stage from high above as fireworks exploded, launching straight into “New To Country.” From that moment on, the energy was off the charts. Dressed in a white shirt, white hat, and gray jeans, Bailey looked sharp and sounded even better. His band was tight, and the production was huge — fire, smoke, fireworks, and massive video screens that made everything feel larger than life.

Zimmerman’s journey is pretty incredible. Just a few years ago, he was working blue-collar jobs and sharing music on TikTok. Now he has over 14 million monthly listeners on Spotify, a platinum-selling debut album, and another record, Different Night, Same Rodeo, keeping his momentum going. He’s also already announced a big 2026 tour under the same name, proving he’s not slowing down anytime soon.

What stood out most, though, was how much fun Bailey was having. He was smiling, laughing, and singing his heart out the whole time, feeding off the crowd’s energy. Between the music, the production, and the magic onstage, this show was easily one of the best concerts I’ve been to in a long time.
