Ella Langley Auburn Set Time: When She Goes On at Neville Arena (August 28, Night One)

Ella Langley brings The Dandelion Tour to Neville Arena in Auburn on Friday, August 28, 2026 — the first of two nights on The Plains, and about as close to a hometown show as this tour gets. Ella spent two years at Auburn studying forestry before she left for Nashville, so this one lands a little differently for her and for everyone in the building. Here's the timing and the plan.

Who plays when

Auburn Athletics and AXS list the show start, and that's the number to build your night around:

• 7:00 PM CT — show starts (the ticketed start time)
• Doors open roughly an hour before, so plan to be inside around 6:00 PM

The bill, per the venue's announcement, is Gabriella Rose first, then ERNEST in the direct-support slot, then Ella Langley.

We're not going to invent a minute for when Ella walks out — Neville Arena hasn't posted a per-act running order, only the 7:00 PM start. That's the honest, sourced answer: the opener goes on at the printed start time, and on recent three-act Dandelion nights Ella has closed the evening after both openers. If the venue posts a full schedule closer to the date, this page and the set-times page will get the real times.

Come early for the openers. ERNEST is one of Nashville's most-cut songwriters with a hit catalog of his own, and putting him in the direct-support slot means the room will already be loud by the time Ella takes over. Gabriella Rose opens the night and is worth catching from the first song.

What she's been playing

No predicted setlist here. Her recent Dandelion Tour nights have leaned on the songs everyone came for — "Choosin' Texas," "you look like you love me," "weren't for the wind," "Be Her," and "Nicotine" — woven in with the deeper Dandelion cuts. On an Alabama stage, in front of a near-hometown crowd, the singalongs tend to hit harder than anywhere else on the run.

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

Neville Arena notes

Easy one to plan for: indoor arena, climate controlled, no weather to worry about. Neville Arena sits at 250 Beard-Eaves Court on Auburn's campus — expect the usual college-town traffic around a big event, so give yourself extra time to park and walk in. Travel light on bags; arena clear-bag policies move you through security faster.

For where to sit — lower bowl versus the upper level, and which sections get the best sound — see the Auburn set-times and where-to-sit page.

Still need tickets?

This one has sold out at face value — AXS is showing resale tickets only. Resale prices for a two-night hometown stand swing hard in the final 48 hours, so expect movement in both directions. The Auburn Night One show page carries current listings and the resale link; check it for live availability rather than trusting a number in an article.

Can't make it that night?

There's a second Auburn night right behind it: Saturday, August 29 at Neville Arena, same bill, also sold out at face and resale-only now. Every date, with current status, is on the tour hub.
