Ella Langley Knoxville Set Time: When She Goes On at Food City Center (September 24)

Ella Langley brings The Dandelion Tour to Food City Center in Knoxville, TN on Thursday, September 24, 2026 — the arena on the University of Tennessee campus, and one of the biggest rooms of this fall run. Here's the timing and the plan for the night.

Who plays when

The ticketed start time is 7:00 PM, with doors about an hour before — that's the reliable number to build your evening around.

The bill is Laci Kaye Booth first, then Kameron Marlowe in the direct-support slot, then Ella Langley.

We won't invent a minute for when Ella walks out. The listed 7:00 PM start is the confirmed number; the first opener goes on around then, and on recent three-act Dandelion nights Ella has closed the show after both openers. If the venue posts a full per-act running order closer to the date, this page and the set-times page will carry the real times.

Get in early for the openers. Kameron Marlowe is a headliner in his own right — "Giving You Up," "Tennessee Orange" — so his direct-support slot is a full set, not a warm-up, and in Tennessee it'll land hard. Laci Kaye Booth 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 big campus-town crowd on a Thursday tends to send the singalongs through the roof.

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

Food City Center notes

It's a large indoor arena on the UT campus, climate controlled, so there's no weather to worry about. Parking around campus fills up fast for a full house — give yourself 45 minutes to an hour before the 7:00 start, follow the event-parking signage, and screenshot your mobile ticket before you're in a dead-signal lot. The room runs cool once it's full and air-conditioned; a light layer helps.

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

Still need tickets?

Face value is gone on this one — every listing on the primary site is now resale. Prices on a big arena date like this tend to swing hard in the final days, in both directions, so it's worth watching rather than grabbing the first number you see. The Knoxville show page carries current listings and the resale link; check it for live availability, and always compare the all-in checkout total before you buy.

Can't make it?

Knoxville sits at the front of the tour's late-September push — Ella heads to Columbus, OH the next night on September 25 and Moline, IL on September 26, both still on sale at face as of this writing. Every date, with current status, is on the tour hub. If you're set on Knoxville, resale is the route, and earlier usually beats waiting it out.
