Ella Langley Red Rocks Set Time: When She Goes On in Morrison (October 7)

Ella Langley plays Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO on Wednesday, October 7, 2026 — one of the most storied rooms in live music, and one of the marquee stops of the whole Dandelion Tour. If you're driving up from Denver or flying in for it, here's the timing and the plan for the night.

Who plays when

This is the rare stop where the venue posts real numbers, so we can skip the guesswork on the two that matter: doors at 5:30 PM and the show starting at 7:00 PM (Red Rocks lists both on its own event page). It's an all-ages night.

The bill is Gabriella Rose and Kameron Marlowe on the way to Ella Langley. Red Rocks hasn't published a minute-by-minute per-act running order, so we won't invent a stage-time minute for when Ella walks out — the confirmed anchors are the 5:30 doors and the 7:00 first-act start, and on recent three-act Dandelion nights Ella has closed the show after both openers. If Red Rocks posts a full schedule closer to the date (it sometimes does), the real per-act times will go straight onto the set-times page and here.

Get up the hill early. Kameron Marlowe is a headliner in his own right — "Giving You Up," "Tennessee Orange" — so his opening set is a full show, not a warm-up, and Gabriella Rose is well worth catching from the first song. At Red Rocks the climb from the lower lots plus the security line eats more time than people expect, so treat 7:00 as the real start and build in a cushion.

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 together with the deeper Dandelion cuts. A Red Rocks crowd under the stars tends to turn the singalongs into something else entirely.

We don't guess the order. The actual Red Rocks setlist goes up on the setlist page within a couple of hours of the encore.

Red Rocks notes: altitude, weather, and the climb

Red Rocks is an open-air amphitheatre carved into the rocks at about 6,450 feet, and early October evenings there can turn cold and windy fast once the sun drops behind the monoliths — think comfortable in the 60s at doors and possibly 40s by the encore. Bring layers, and check the forecast the day of; a rain shell is smart, but note that umbrellas are not permitted, so pack a poncho instead of one. The seating is stone bench rows, so a stadium cushion earns its keep, and the altitude is real if you're coming from sea level — hydrate and take the stairs at your own pace.

For where to sit — how far up is too far, which rows have the easiest walk, and where the sound sits best — see the Red Rocks set-times and where-to-sit page.

Still need tickets?

Good news for anyone still deciding: unlike the late-September arena run, Red Rocks is still on sale at face value — the primary allocation hasn't sold out, and you can pick up seats through the official channels rather than paying up on resale. That can change quickly for a date this special, so if you want in, it's worth not waiting until the week of. The Red Rocks show page carries current listings; check it for live availability, and always compare the all-in checkout total before you buy.

Can't make it?

If October 7 doesn't work, the tour rolls on right after Colorado — Ella heads to Tulsa, OK on October 9 and Lubbock, TX on October 10, then out to the two-night Greek Theatre stand in Los Angeles on October 13 and 14. Every date, with current status, is on the tour hub.
