Just weeks before he was set to head overseas, Bailey Zimmerman has announced the cancellation of the UK and European leg of his Different Night Same Rodeo Tour.
The country act was originally set to bring his 2026 headline run to the UK on August 27 and continue with stops across Ireland, Netherlands, Germany and Sweden before wrapping up in Oslo, NO on September 12.
Zimmerman shared the unfortunate news with fans via social media on Thursday (July 30), revealing that he made the difficult decision to cancel the upcoming shows so he could remain focused on “important family matters.”
“To my fans, I wanted to let you all know personally that I unfortunately have to cancel my UK/Europe shows. This was not an easy decision, and it kills me to have to cancel because I know how excited everyone is… but right now I need to take this time to focus on important family matters,” Zimmerman explained.
He assured his fans that “everything is okay” but he feels that he needs to prioritize his loved ones at this time.
In addition to canceling the UK and European leg of the tour, the “Chevy Silverado” singer said he plans to finish his remaining North American dates through August before stepping away again to “focus on me, my family and new music.”
Zimmerman apologized to all his fans who are disappointed by this news, but thanked everyone who has shown him support during this time.
“Once again I’m so sorry to everybody that has waited so long… I hope y’all can understand that my family has to come first. Thank you for having my back on this crazy ride we call life,” he added in conclusion.
Despite the unfortunate news, fans still flooded his comment section expressing understanding for his decision to support his family.
“Love to see the priorities ❤️ Family first xx”
“Take your time BZ!! Family over anything ❤️❤️”
“we love you bro. family comes first always❤️”
“🥹 family first BEFORE your job ALWAYS🥹”
“Take time Bailey!!! We love you❤️”
According to the country star’s tour schedule, he has four remaining North American Dates before taking a break from the road. Zimmerman is next set to perform in Bethlehem, PA on August 6 before heading to the Wisconsin State Fair on August 8, the Missouri State Fair on August 13 and the Illinois State Fair on August 14.
