Ella Langley Bryce Jordan Center Set Time: When She Goes On in State College (September 11)

Ella Langley brings The Dandelion Tour to the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park on Friday, September 11, 2026 — a homecoming of sorts for a Penn State crowd, in the 15,000-seat arena on campus. If you're heading to State College for the night, here's the timing and the plan.

Who plays when

The Bryce Jordan Center has posted doors and start times, so those are the numbers to build your evening around:

• 6:00 PM — doors open
• 7:00 PM — show starts (the ticketed start time)

The bill is Gabriella Rose first, then Muscadine Bloodline in the direct-support slot, then Ella Langley.

We're not going to invent a minute for when Ella walks out — the arena lists the 7:00 PM start and doors at 6:00, but no per-act running order. That's the honest, sourced answer: the opener goes on around the printed start time, and on recent three-act Dandelion nights Ella has closed the show 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.

Get there for the openers. Muscadine Bloodline — the Alabama duo of Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster — steps into the direct-support slot after ERNEST came off this leg of the run, and their rowdy, road-tested catalog means the room will already be loud by the time Ella takes over. Gabriella Rose opens the night and is well 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" — stitched together with the deeper Dandelion cuts. A student-heavy Friday-night crowd tends to send the singalongs through the roof.

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

Bryce Jordan Center notes

Easy one to plan for: indoor arena, climate controlled, so no weather to worry about. The building sits at 127 Bryce Jordan Center on the Penn State campus, so give yourself extra time on a busy campus night and know your parking lot before you leave — lots fill early for a sold-out show. Travel light on bags; the arena's bag policy moves you through security faster.

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

Still need tickets?

Face value is gone on this one — student tickets sold out, and every listing on the primary site is now resale, with the lowest listings recently around $197 and climbing for the better seats. Prices on a single arena date like this tend to swing hard as the show gets close, in both directions, so it's worth watching. The University Park 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?

The fall leg runs back-to-back through this stretch — Ella plays Newark's Prudential Center the night before (September 10) and Charleston, WV the night after (September 12), so if State College doesn't work, a nearby night might. Every date, with current status, is on the tour hub — check each show page for live availability, since the sold-out dates move to resale fast.
