While sharing this life update, he went on to emphasize that the decision was a personal one and not meant to judge anyone else on their drinking habits.

“No judgment towards anybody but I wouldn’t change it for anything… My life has been so much better❤️,” he added in the caption.

This honest reflection shows how prioritizing health and finding balance in his busy artist schedule is already helping the “Backup Plan” singer thrive both personally and professionally.

Second Full-Length Album Arriving In August

Bailey Zimmerman’s important life update follows the news that his second full-length album, Different Night Same Rodeo, will arrive on August 8 via Atlantic Records/Warner Music Nashville.

He made the exciting announcement on Instagram, where he thanked fans for their patience while he put in the work to make the project “perfect.”

“I HOPE THE WAIT IS WORTH IT🔥🤘,” he wrote.

Produced by his longtime collaborator Austin Shawn, the forthcoming collection will feature several fan-favorite releases that have helped build anticipation for the full release. These tracks include “Backup Plan” featuring Luke Combs, Zimmerman’s Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Holy Smokes,” along with “New To Country,” “Hell or High Water,” “Holding On,” and, “Comin’ In Cold.”

Plus, he recently told fans to “stop what you’re doing and go jam,” to his latest preview of the album, “Ashes” with Diplo. The country act noted that he heard fans’ requests for a new “summer banger” and that’s “exactly” what he delivered with this release.

With each of these tracks and more, Zimmerman is set to dig deeper than ever before and reveal a new layer of vulnerability while continuing to highlight his evolution as both a singer and a songwriter. At the same time, fans can still expect the kind of electrifying, high-energy anthems that have become an essential part of his growing catalog.

Just as he announced the new project, Bailey Zimmerman also launched his Summer 2025 New To Country Tour with back-to-back sold-out shows in Indianapolis, IN, and Sterling Heights, MI, on June 6 and 7.

Promoted by Live Nation and featuring support from Dylan Marlowe and Drew Baldridge, the highly anticipated trek continues to bring Zimmerman’s must-see live show to 16 amphitheaters across the country. After making his mark in cities throughout the U.S. and Canada, he will bring the run to a close on September 13 in Laughlin, NV.

In addition to his headlining dates, Bailey Zimmerman appears on the performance lineup at several festivals throughout the summer.
