Bailey Zimmerman had a special announcement during his Spotify House set Thursday night: His new album, Different Night Same Rodeo, drops Aug. 8. During the CMA Fest performance, the singer also debuted a new track from the project, 'Comin' in Cold.'
'For the last two years, I've been wokring really hard on my new album,' Zimmerman said, explaining that he pushed back his album after his mom got 'really sick' but that he was really glad he waited. 'This album is something different… Everybody around me feels like it's the album I'm supposed to put out.'

Zimmerman also teased that there are two new collaborations on the record, including one with an artist 'not from country, from another space.'
'We cooked on this thing. Y'all are gonna love it, I know it. Just be waiting because you guys are gonna be mind-blown when you hear this song,' he said, before acknowledging 'Backup Plan' with his 'idol' Luke Combs.
The singer shared the album cover — which sees him in a tank top and ripped jeans sitting on a truck bed — on his Instagram. 'Thank y'all for being patient while I made this album perfect,' he wrote. 'I HOPE THE WAIT IS WORTH IT.'
A press release for Different Night Same Rodeo teased 'rock-powered country anthems' that are produced by his collaborator Austin Shawn. The LP will also feature his singles 'Backup Plan' with Combs, 'New to Country,' 'Hell or High Water,' and 'Holding On.' The record follows his debut Religiously. The Album, which dropped in May 2023.
'With this being my first album, it's like, 'Oh my gosh. This could be my Traveller,'' he told Rolling Stone at the time, referencing Chris Stapleton's breakthrough. 'I'm excited to see how I grow as a person. What am I going to discover about myself that I didn't know? What am I going to learn this year?'
The musician is set to kick off his New to Country tour in Indianapolis on Friday, with shows in Arkansas, Florida, Northern California, and Nevada. Along with the new songs for his album, he also joined hip-hop act BigXThaPlug on 'All The Way' back in April.
As for Spotify House, the streaming service will host performances from Brothers Osborne, Kelsea Ballerini, Dasha, Rascal Flatts, Lainey Wilson, Shaboozey, Carly Pearce and more throughout the weekend. Zimmerman's performance came after Sam Barber and Gavin Adcock took the stage in celebration of the streaming service's Hot Country playlist, which turns 10 years old.
