Ella Langley Canandaigua Setlist & Recap: Sold-Out Friday Night at CMAC

You know a show is big when the sheriff's office gets involved. The Ontario County Sheriff put out a traffic alert ahead of Friday night, warning everyone near Canandaigua to expect delays around CMAC — because Ella Langley sold the place out. Lots opened at 3:30, gates at 5:30, and by the 7:00 start the lawn at the Finger Lakes' biggest amphitheater was full.

That's the shape of this summer in one night. A year ago she was playing these markets as an opener. Friday she had her name alone on the marquee at a venue that holds 15,000, and it wasn't enough seats.

How the night ran

CMAC had the bill posted straight from the source: Laci Kaye Booth and Kameron Marlowe as special guests, doors at 5:30, music at 7:00, with Ella closing the night. It's the same undercard that ran the Gilford show on Thursday, and it's a strong one — Marlowe's been pulling his own headline crowds all year, and Booth's set has been quietly winning over early arrivals the whole tour.

Back-to-back sold-out amphitheater nights in New Hampshire and upstate New York, with Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field the very next day. That's the stretch she's in right now.

The setlist

A fan logged the Canandaigua set to setlist.fm the same night. One caveat before you read it: setlist.fm flags this one as possibly incomplete and out of order, so treat the sequence as approximate until more reports firm it up. Here's what got logged:

1. Dandelion
2. I Gotta Quit
3. Bottom of Your Boots
4. Here for the Party (Gretchen Wilson cover)
5. Country Boy's Dream Girl
6. 20-20
7. You & Me Time
8. Broken
9. Last Call for Us
10. Strangers (Kameron Marlowe cover)
11. Butterfly Season
12. Somethin' Simple
13. Dreams (Fleetwood Mac cover)
14. Be Her
15. you look like you love me
16. Loving Life Again
17. Choosin' Texas
18. weren't for the wind

Two covers stand out beyond the usual Gretchen Wilson moment: Kameron Marlowe's "Strangers" and Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" — the same pair she pulled out in Gilford the night before, where Marlowe and Laci Kaye Booth each joined her on stage for them. And the closing run held: per setlist.fm's 2026 stats, "weren't for the wind" has now ended 23 of her last 26 logged sets.
