Ella Langley Cary Set Time: When She Goes On at Koka Booth Amphitheatre (July 24)

The Dandelion Tour hits Friday, July 24, 2026 at Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, NC — and it's an outdoor one, which changes the game a little. Here's what time to walk in and what to expect.

Who plays when

Headlining Ella show, three acts:

• Laci Kaye Booth opens.
• Kaitlin Butts plays direct support — the last set before Ella.
• Ella Langley headlines.

Gates open before the listed start, and the first opener goes on at the time printed on your ticket — that's the number that matters. Headliners have been going on later in the evening after both openers, but we won't invent an exact "Ella takes the stage at X" minute for a show that hasn't happened. The listed start on your ticket is the honest answer.

Because it's a sold-out night, plan for a slower gate. Get there for doors and catch both openers — Kaitlin Butts especially is worth the early arrival.

What she's been playing

We won't fake a setlist. Recent Dandelion Tour nights have centered on the hits — "you look like you love me," "Choosin' Texas," "weren't for the wind," "Be Her" — plus the standout Dandelion cuts.

The moment the encore's done, the real Cary setlist goes up here on the setlist page, song by song, usually within a couple of hours.

Outdoor-show tips for Koka Booth

Koka Booth is a lawn-plus-reserved amphitheatre tucked in Regency Park, so it's a proper summer-evening show. A late-July night in the Triangle can hold heat and humidity well past sunset — light clothes, and check the venue's clear-bag and lawn-chair rules before you leave. For seating and where the sightlines are best (reserved vs. lawn), see the set-times and where-to-sit page.

This one's sold out at face — if you're hunting, the Cary show page points to verified resale; compare the all-in total at checkout, not the sticker price.

Rest of the week

Ella's in Pikeville, KY the night before (July 23) and North Charleston, SC the next night (July 25). See every date on the tour hub.
