Country star cancels final tour stop over safety concerns
Country music star Bailey Zimmerman was forced to cancel the final show of his “New To Country Tour” because of safety concerns at the Rio Vista Outdoor Amphitheater in Laughlin, Nevada, Parade reports.
In an Instagram post featuring a simple black backdrop, Zimmerman expressed his disappointment about the cancellation.
“This is something an artist never wants to tell their fans,” he wrote on Saturday. “I am beyond disappointed, and I’m sorry, but we have to cancel our show tonight in Laughlin, NV.”
The cancellation stemmed from what Zimmerman described as “unforeseen local production limitations” and an unsafe stage. He emphasized that the decision had nothing to do with him or his team, stating they arrived “fully prepared to end the New To Country Tour the right way.”
“The safety of y’all, my band, and my crew is the most important thing to me, and I just can’t put y’all at risk,” Zimmerman explained in his post.
He added, “I really hate disappointing you all, and I hate ending the tour this way, but like I said, it’s what I have to do.”
Fans who purchased tickets to the Laughlin concert will receive full refunds to their original method of payment, with payments expected to appear within 14-21 days. Ticket holders with questions are advised to contact their ticket providers directly.
Despite the disappointing conclusion to his current tour, Zimmerman has already announced his next venture. The “Different Night Same Rodeo Tour” is scheduled to begin on Feb. 19, and it will cover more than 30 cities across the United States, including Knoxville, Boston, Atlanta, Fort Worth, Nashville and Toronto.
The tour is set to conclude June 20.
The “New To Country Tour,” which began on June 6 in Indianapolis, featured special guests Dylan Marlowe and Drew Baldridge.
Fans responded supportively to Zimmerman’s announcement, with one commenting, “I’m so sorry, BZ! I know you care soooo much about your fans and team. This must have been such a hard choice.”
Another added, “Sad, but you and your crew need to be safe.”
