Bailey Zimmerman and BigXthaPlug top Live at the Station at Aggie Park this Saturday

The fourth Live at the Station moves to Aggie Park on Nov. 7, with Zimmerman making his first College Station appearance in our records.

This Saturday, Aggie Park trades tailgate tents for a festival stage. Bailey Zimmerman headlines Live at the Station at Aggie Park on Saturday, Nov. 7, with the day listed to start at 10 a.m., and it is his first College Station show in our records.

He is not alone up top. Dallas rapper BigXthaPlug shares headline billing, and the rest of the lineup runs deep: Mackenzie Carpenter, Hayden Blount, Bayker Blankenship, Austin Meade and local favorites The Highway 6 Band. Tickets are through See Tickets, with general admission and VIP options.

This is the festival's fourth year, and the move to Aggie Park is tied to Texas A&M's 150th anniversary, which gives this edition a bit more ceremony than usual. Putting the show on campus, in the park built as a gathering place for Aggies, makes it feel less like a concert you drive to and more like a town-wide Saturday.

Zimmerman is the reason a lot of people will be there. He normally headlines rooms around 8,500, and 2026 has been a big year: he set out on his first-ever arena tour, the Different Night Same Rodeo Tour, which took him as far as the UK, and he played the Illinois State Fair this summer. He is playing Nashville today, and after College Station his next stop is Las Vegas on Dec. 5, during National Finals Rodeo week. For Brazos Valley fans, Saturday is the one to catch before he disappears into the rodeo season.

Less like a concert you drive to and more like a town-wide Saturday.

The pairing with BigXthaPlug is the most interesting thing about the bill. A country headliner and a Dallas rapper sharing the top line means the crowd on the lawn will be broader than a straight country show.

The undercard rewards arriving early. Mackenzie Carpenter, Bayker Blankenship and Austin Meade bring their own followings, and Hayden Blount and The Highway 6 Band give it a local backbone.

A few practical notes. With a 10 a.m. listed start, this is an all-day commitment, so plan on sunscreen, water and comfortable shoes, and check the festival's rules on bags and chairs before you head over. Parking around campus fills fast on a big Saturday, so give yourself extra time.

Then find your spot on the grass, pace yourself through the afternoon, and save some voice for the headliners when the sun goes down.
