Ella Langley Austin Set Time: When She Goes On at Moody Center (August 13)

The Texas run opens Thursday, August 13, 2026 at Moody Center in Austin — indoors, air-conditioned, and roughly fifteen thousand people deep. After a summer of amphitheatre lawns and stadium support slots, this is Ella headlining a real arena in the state she wrote a song about. Here's the timing and the plan.

Who plays when

Moody Center has posted one number for this night, and it's the one that matters most:

• 7:00 PM CT — show starts (the venue's own posted time)
• Doors generally open about an hour ahead of the posted start

The bill, per the venue's event page, is Gabriella Rose first, then Kaitlin Butts in the direct-support slot, then Ella Langley.

What we're not going to do is invent a minute for when Ella walks out. Moody Center has published the show time and not a per-act running order, so 7:00 PM is the honest, sourced answer — the first opener goes on at the time printed on your ticket. On recent three-act Dandelion nights Ella has closed after both openers, which puts her comfortably into the back half of the evening, but a guessed stage-time minute is worth nothing to you and we'd rather say so. If the venue posts a full schedule closer to the date, this page and the set-times page get the real times.

Worth showing up early regardless. Kaitlin Butts is not a warm-up act you skip — she's got her own following and a set that earns the room, and Gabriella Rose is exactly the kind of opener you'll be glad you caught before everyone else does.

What she's been playing

No predicted setlist here. Her recent Dandelion Tour nights have leaned hard on the songs everybody came for — "Choosin' Texas," which is going to hit differently in Austin, plus "you look like you love me," "weren't for the wind," "Be Her," and "Nicotine" — alongside the deeper Dandelion cuts.

The actual Austin setlist goes up on the setlist page within a couple of hours of the encore.

Moody Center notes

This is the easy one on the schedule: indoor arena, climate controlled, no weather to plan around. It sits on the UT campus at 2001 Robert Dedman Dr, which means campus-area traffic and parking that's worth sorting out before you leave the house — Moody runs its own parking pre-sale, and the surrounding garages fill up. There's a clear-bag policy, so check it rather than discovering it in line.

For where to sit — lower bowl versus the club levels versus the pit, and which sections actually get the sound — see the Austin set-times and where-to-sit page.

Still need tickets?

This one is sold out at face value. Ticketmaster is showing no standard tickets for August 13 — only verified resale, currently starting around $585 all-in. So resale is the way in, and the Austin show page carries the current listings and sources. Check that page for live availability rather than trusting a number in an article; sold-out arena pricing moves in both directions, sometimes sharply, in the final week.

Can't make it that night?

The Texas run continues right after: Corpus Christi on August 14, which still had face-value tickets last we checked, and Fort Worth at Dickies Arena on August 15, which is also resale-only now. Three nights, three rooms, same headliner — if Austin's out of reach, Corpus Christi is the one to look at. Every date is on the tour hub.
