American country singer-songwriter Bailey Zimmerman continues his ascent in his second home country of Canada, with his single Rock and a Hard Place certified Diamond.
The song has received over 144 million streams in Canada alone. It’s the first time that Rock and a Hard Place has reached Diamond status in any territory.
Warner Music Canada surprised the singer during his sold-out Different Night, Same Rodeo tour date at Toronto’s RBC Amphitheatre, presenting him with a Diamond plaque before a 15,000-strong audience. The show marked the biggest date on his Canadian tour.
The Different Night, Same Rodeo tour nears its conclusion following a completely sold-out run in Canada. The tour concludes with stops in London and Ottawa.
Reacting to his hit single going Diamond, Zimmerman shared a video on social media where he held up the huge plaque presented to him by Warner Music Canada. He walked up and down the stage with a smile plastered on his face; a sea of fans’ phones captured the moment.
He captioned the video, “Rock and a Hard Place is certified Diamond in Canada. Never give up.”

With his latest round of success in Canada, Zimmerman expands on incredible momentum in the country, which includes five #1 singles on Canadian Country Radio, including his latest chart-topping single, Backup Plan featuring Luke Combs. He’s also already achieved 35 Canadian Platinum certifications.
This October, Australian fans will experience the Different Night, Same Rodeo show.
Presented by Live Nation, the tour will see Zimmerman hit major venues in Melbourne (Festival Hall) and Sydney (Hordern Pavilion) after wrapping up a massive 30+ date run across the US and Canada. In addition to the headline shows, he’ll appear at this year’s Strummingbird Festival, headlined by Post Malone.
For his Australian shows, Zimmerman will be joined by special guests Dexter and the Moonrocks.
