Country musician announced as Musikfest’s first 2026 headliner
Country musician Bailey Zimmerman will make a stop in Bethlehem this summer for Musikfest 2026.
Zimmerman is the first headliner to be announced for the 2026 festival. He will perform Aug. 6 at the Wind Creek Steel Stage.
ArtsQuest members can purchase tickets beginning Monday; tickets go on sale Friday morning for the general public.
Zimmerman, known for songs such as “Fall in Love,” released his latest album, “Different Night Same Rodeo,” in August. His debut album, “Religiously. The Album,” had the biggest streaming debut for a country album ever, according to a festival news release.
Musikfest, which takes place on Bethlehem’s North and South sides, will run from July 31 to Aug. 9. It will be the 43rd year for the festival.
A second headlining act is expected to be announced later Monday.
