Bailey Zimmerman is on cloud nine after playing the biggest show of his career at The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on Saturday (March 8).
The chart-topping country star reflected on the magical night by sharing his iconic entrance into NRG Stadium and photos from his next-level performance on social media. It was a milestone moment, and Zimmerman couldn’t help but share the excitement with his fans.
Reflecting on the night, Zimmerman shared, “I played the BIGGEST show of my life last night @rodeohouston.”
He admitted to being “insanely nervous as anybody would be” before stepping onto the stage in front of nearly 70,000 people, but the show went on and Zimmerman couldn’t be happier.
“69,124 people showed up to scream my songs with me and I wish I could say thank you to every single one of y’all… it was truly a dream come true and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life,” he wrote alongside a crying face emoji.
For his epic entrance, Zimmerman rolled in on the bed of a massive, jacked-up pickup truck, shouting, “Houston, make some noise!”

As the truck neared the stage, the singer/songwriter jumped up and down, pumping his hands in the air, which got the crowd even more excited for his performance. Dressed in a cowboy hat, a cut-off shirt with “YEEHAW” on the back, and cowprint pants, he made his way to the stage in style.
“My entrance to the Houston Rodeo felt like a movie,” he captioned a video of the unforgettable moment.
In closing, Zimmerman wrote, “I LOVE YOU @rodeohouston. Can’t wait to come back🤟” and went on to encourage fans to “CHASE YOUR FREAKIN DREAMS.”
Bailey Zimmerman’s performance at The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo comes just ahead of his 2025 headlining tour – the New To Country Tour – where he’s set to headline some of the biggest venues of his career so far. Multiple stops sold out within minutes of the on-sale, leaving the “Holy Smokes” singer almost at a loss for words.
Reflecting on the sold-out shows, Zimmerman recently told us, “It gives you a lot of confidence…It was a really good feeling.”
2025 is slated to be another massive year for the rising superstar, who also teased that new music is on the way.
Fans can visit his official website for a full list of upcoming tour dates, which includes stops at Country Thunder Arizona, Sand In My Boots Festival, and more.
