Bailey Zimmerman Named Thursday Headliner for Gulf Coast Jam 2027 |
The rising country superstar will open the four-day Panama City Beach festival, joining Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean on the growing headliner lineup. |
Gulf Coast Jam 2027 just added another major name to its lineup.
Bailey Zimmerman has officially been announced as the Thursday-night headliner for the four-day country music festival, scheduled for June 3–6, 2027, at Frank Brown Park in Panama City Beach.
Zimmerman will take the stage on Thursday, June 3, kicking off a weekend that already includes Luke Bryan as the Friday-night headliner and Jason Aldean closing out Saturday night. The festival’s Sunday headliner has not yet been announced.
Bailey Zimmerman Brings a Country-Rock Edge to Opening Night
Zimmerman has quickly become one of country music’s most recognizable young performers, building an audience with his raspy vocals, emotional lyrics and energetic combination of modern country and rock.
His breakout songs include “Fall in Love,” “Rock and a Hard Place,” “Religiously” and “Where It Ends.” His debut project, “Religiously. The Album.,” helped establish him as one of country music’s fastest-rising new artists, while songs such as “Holy Smokes,” “New to Country” and “Backup Plan” continued his momentum.
Zimmerman’s high-energy concert style should make Thursday night feel less like an opening act and more like a full-scale festival finale.
The announcement gives Gulf Coast Jam three headliners representing different sides of modern country music. Zimmerman brings the younger country-rock sound Thursday, Luke Bryan supplies his long list of crowd-friendly hits Friday, and Jason Aldean brings his hard-driving country catalog to Saturday night. |

Four Days of Country Music in Panama City Beach
Gulf Coast Jam will return to Frank Brown Park, located at 16200 Panama City Beach Parkway. The annual festival combines live country music with a Panama City Beach vacation, attracting fans from across Florida and around the country.
The 2027 event will include performances from Thursday through Sunday. Festival organizers describe the experience as a combination of chart-topping headliners, emerging artists, beach activities and the returning community of fans known as “Jammers.”
Tickets and ticket-and-hotel packages are currently available. Gulf Coast Jam is selling four-day passes rather than individual single-day tickets, and several admission levels, parking options and premium experiences are offered. Ticket prices and availability may change as tiers sell out.
Children ages six and younger may enter free, and discounted ticket categories are available for qualifying military members, first responders and medical personnel. Festival policies and eligibility requirements should be reviewed before purchasing.
With Bailey Zimmerman, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean now confirmed, Gulf Coast Jam 2027 is developing into another huge weekend for country music fans in Panama City Beach.
Only one headlining position remains.
Who do you think should close Gulf Coast Jam on Sunday night?

Let’s just hope the parking situation is better this year lol.
Hope security is ready, Thursday will be bigger than usual with Bailey!
Love seeing local events get big artists like these!
All my friends are stoked for Bailey. Me, I’m more Aldean.
Frank Brown Park is the best spot for this fest. Plenty of room!
Some of my favorite tunes on that list! Can’t believe ‘Holy Smokes’ live.
Glad they’re bringing the younger crowd in too.
I'm just here for the food trucks and the music!
Zimmerman’s show in Nashville was insane, PCB will love him.
Wish tickets weren’t so expensive but lineup looks worth it.
Hope they announce a big name for Sunday. Maybe someone classic?
Bailey’s ‘Fall in Love’ is my jam. Glad he’s coming here.
Love when they mix up the styles each night. Keeps things lively.
Not familiar with Zimmerman yet. Guess I better catch up on his music.
Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean back to back? Sign me up!
I hope it doesn’t rain like last time! Crossing fingers.
Glad to see a younger artist headlining. Country needs new faces.
Zimmerman puts on a wild show. Thursday will be packed!
Last year’s fest was great. This one shaping up even better.
Wish Carrie Underwood was coming too! Still excited tho.
Not a huge Zimmerman fan but his songs are catchy.
Wow, that’s a strong lineup already! Wonder who Sunday will be.
I’m more of a Luke Bryan fan but happy for Bailey fans.
Finally some country mixed with rock for opening night!
Bailey Zimmerman is awesome. Can’t wait for June 3.
