Ella Langley Redwest Festival Set Time: Her Friday Headline Slot in Salt Lake City (October 16)

Ella Langley caps her October run with a festival headline slot: she tops the Friday bill at the Redwest Festival at the Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City on Friday, October 16. This one is a different animal from the arena and amphitheatre nights on The Dandelion Tour, it's an all-day, multi-act festival, so planning your day looks a little different. Here's what's confirmed, what isn't yet, and how to make sure you're down front when Ella goes on.

Who plays when

Here's the honest version, because festival scheduling is exactly the kind of thing we won't fake: Redwest has not published individual set times yet. Ella is the Friday headliner, which on a single-stage festival day almost always means the last, top-of-night slot, but the festival hasn't posted the clock, and we're not going to invent a minute for her. From what's been announced, the Friday, October 16 lineup is stacked, with names like Koe Wetzel, Shaboozey, Max McNown, Michael Marcagi and more filling out the day beneath Ella at the top. Reporting around the festival points to gates and music starting around late morning, but treat that as a planning estimate, not a locked time, until Redwest posts the official schedule. The moment they release set times, the real numbers go right here.

If you only came for Ella, the safe move at a festival is to assume the headliner goes on after dark and build in buffer, get in early, scout the stage, and don't wander far once the sun drops.

What she's been playing

If recent Dandelion Tour nights are any guide, expect the big ones in heavy rotation, "You Look Like You Love Me," "Choosin' Texas" and "Be Her" among them, along with cuts from the Dandelion album. Festival sets usually run tighter than a full headlining show, so she may lean on the hits. One fun wrinkle: Koe Wetzel is on the same Friday bill, and the two have the duet "Jaded" together, so keep your fingers crossed, though we're not promising a crossover. We don't guess the order either, so for what actually got played, check the Redwest setlist page once her set wraps.

Getting in and getting a good spot

The Utah State Fairpark is an outdoor festival site, so dress for October in Salt Lake, warm daytime sun and a real chill after sunset is the usual pattern, and layers beat regret. Check the festival's bag and re-entry rules before you leave the car. For where to stand, when to stake out a rail spot, and how the grounds lay out, our Redwest day guide walks through it. General-admission festival crowds mean the front is first-come, so if the rail matters to you, get there early and hold your ground.

Still need tickets?

Redwest sells single-day Friday passes as well as weekend passes, so you've got options depending on whether you're there just for Ella's night or the whole thing. Festival inventory moves differently from a single arena show, availability and pricing shift right up to the gates, so check the show page for current listings and compare the all-in total before you buy. If the festival doesn't work out, Ella's nearest Dandelion Tour dates on either side are worth a look, the two Greek Theatre nights in Los Angeles (Oct 13 and Oct 14) come just before.
