If you're heading to a show this summer and want to know what you're walking into, here's the full Ella Langley setlist for the 2026 Dandelion Tour — every song, the covers, the openers, and the handful of tracks she swaps around from night to night. The set leans hard into the new record, so if you've been living with Dandelion since April, you're going to recognize most of it.

A quick note on accuracy: setlists move. Ella has rotated two or three songs across the run, and an arena night can play out differently than an amphitheater night. We've built this off the documented opening-night list in Toledo and the shows that followed, and we update it as the tour rolls on.

The full Dandelion Tour setlist

This is the opening-night order from Toledo, which has been the template for most stops since:

1. "Dandelion"
2. "I Gotta Quit"
3. "Here for the Party" (Gretchen Wilson cover)
4. "Bottom of Your Boots"
5. "paint the town blue"
6. "girl you're taking home"
7. "20-20"
8. "You & Me Time"
9. "Broken"
10. "Something Simple"
11. "Butterfly Season"
12. "Wish I Didn't Know Now" (Toby Keith cover)
13. "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" (Kitty Wells cover)
14. "Be Her"
15. "you look like you love me" (with Dylan Marlowe)
16. "Loving Life Again"
17. "Choosin' Texas"
18. "weren't for the wind"

She walks out to a recorded clip of the old folk tune "Froggy Went A Courtin'" before the band kicks into "Dandelion," so don't count that as song one.

How the set is built

The throughline is the album. Of the 16 tracks on Dandelion, she plays 11 of them, which means most of your night is the record performed close to how you know it. That's a deliberate choice — this is the tour built around the album, and she trusts the new material to carry an arena.

Around that core sit the songs that built her. "you look like you love me" launched her, "Choosin' Texas" broke the records, and "Be Her" is the one that turned into her fastest-climbing number one at country radio. If you want our argument for why the closer, "weren't for the wind," is actually the best thing she's recorded, we made the full case in our ranking of every Ella Langley song.

Two songs made their live debuts on opening night and have stuck around: "You & Me Time" and the Miranda Lambert collaboration "Butterfly Season," with whichever female opener is on the bill stepping in for Lambert's part.

The covers she works in

Three covers are baked into the set, and they tell you exactly where she comes from. The Gretchen Wilson barn-burner "Here for the Party" lands early, Toby Keith's "Wish I Didn't Know Now" sits in the back half, and the one that gets the knowing applause is Kitty Wells' "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" — a 1952 answer record that a lot of younger fans are hearing for the first time through Ella.

Songs that rotate, and what might change

The 18-song list above is the backbone, not a guarantee. Across the run she's been willing to move two or three songs in and out, lean a little harder on album cuts some nights, and tailor the duet moment to whoever's opening. Setlist.fm logs each individual show if you want to see exactly what your date got, but the spine — open on "Dandelion," close on "weren't for the wind," "Choosin' Texas" near the end — has held steady.

The openers change by city

Who you see before Ella depends entirely on your date. Dylan Marlowe, Kameron Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose, and Laci Kaye Booth all appear across different legs. It's worth showing up early — these aren't filler slots, and the duet on "you look like you love me" usually pulls in whichever opener is on the bill. If you're new to the format and not sure how much the opener matters, we broke that down in opening acts, explained.

Check the full tour schedule to see who's opening your show and grab seats — most 2026 dates are at or near sold-out at face value, so the tour pages are where to start.

Before you go

Knowing the setlist is half the prep. The other half is getting in and getting through the night without a hassle. Our Dandelion Tour survival guide covers tickets, parking, bag policies, and where to go after the show, broken down by city and date. If you want to rep the album while you're there, the Dandelion vinyl is the cleanest piece in the merch lineup. And the full guide library has the rest — what to wear, what to bring, and where to sit.

You'll have a better night when you walk in already knowing the songs. Learn the new record, save the closer for the lump in your throat, and let the rest surprise you.
