Country music’s fastest-rising firecracker, Ella Langley, is wasting no time turning up the heat in 2026. Fresh off announcing her highly anticipated sophomore album Dandelion, set for release on April 10, the Alabama native revealed she’ll hit the road almost immediately with her inaugural headlining arena and amphitheater tour: The Dandelion Tour.
The 16-date run kicks off just weeks after the album drops, starting May 7, 2026, at Huntington Center in Toledo, Ohio. From there, Langley will crisscross the U.S., playing major markets and intimate venues alike before wrapping August 15 in Fort Worth, Texas. The trek promises to be a celebration of her growth as an artist—blending the gritty, unfiltered storytelling that made her debut hungover a breakout success with the deeper, more resilient sound teased on the new record.
Langley made the announcement via Instagram on February 2, 2026, posting a simple graphic with tour dates and the caption: “You know we had to take this record on the road… So excited to announce The Dandelion Tour! Also, bringing some of my favorite people along, you won’t wanna miss this 🌼.” She teased that special guests will join her on select dates, including Kameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose, and Laci Kaye Booth—artists who share her raw, rootsy edge.
The timing couldn’t be better. Dandelion—executive produced by Langley herself alongside Miranda Lambert and Ben West—arrives April 10 via SAWGOD/Columbia Records. The 18-track project follows the massive success of her debut hungover (and its deluxe extension Still hungover), which spawned the chart-topping single “Choosin’ Texas.” That song became a streaming phenomenon, hitting No. 1 on Spotify’s U.S. Songs chart and Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart—making Langley one of the few female country artists to achieve that feat in recent years.
The title track “Dandelion,” released January 31, 2026, serves as the album’s emotional centerpiece. Langley has described the record as deeply personal, saying she thought about it “every single day for the last year and a half.” In a handwritten note shared with fans, she explained the symbolism: dandelions represent resilience, hope, and healing—qualities that define her own journey from small-town Alabama to Nashville’s spotlight. The album promises more of the fearless songwriting and unmistakable voice that earned her four Academy of Country Music and CMA Award nominations, plus widespread praise for blending traditional country with modern grit.
Fans are already buzzing about the tour’s lineup. Stops include:
May 7: Huntington Center, Toledo, OH
May 8: Chaifetz Arena, St. Louis, MO
May 14: Hertz Arena, Estero, FL
June 25: Salem Civic Center, Salem, VA
July 31: Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center (CMAC), Canandaigua, NY
August 13: Moody Center, Austin, TX
August 14: Hilliard Center Arena (location TBD, likely Ohio)
August 15: Fort Worth, TX (finale)
Additional dates hit Oklahoma City, Savannah, Pikeville (KY), Wilmington (NC), and more. Presale for tickets and VIP packages began February 5, with general on-sale February 6. Many shows sold out presale blocks quickly, signaling strong demand for Langley’s live show.
What makes The Dandelion Tour especially exciting is its scale. This marks Langley’s first full headlining arena run—stepping up from club and theater dates to larger venues that reflect her growing fanbase. The tour arrives on the heels of her continued radio dominance with “Choosin’ Texas,” which impacted pop radio in early 2026 and kept her name at the top of streaming charts.
Langley has spoken openly about wanting to build a sustainable career that lets her support her family through music. The tour announcement feels like the next chapter in that mission—taking the deeply personal songs from Dandelion directly to fans across the country. With co-producer Miranda Lambert’s stamp on the album and a lineup of like-minded opening acts, the run promises nights of authentic, no-frills country music that cuts straight to the heart.
As one fan commented on her Instagram post: “From hungover to Dandelion—Ella’s not just growing, she’s blooming. Can’t wait to scream these songs back at her live.”
With the album dropping April 10 and the tour launching May 7, 2026 is shaping up to be Ella Langley’s year. She’s not just hitting the road—she’s planting roots, letting her music spread like the resilient wildflower she named her album after.
In a genre full of flash and polish, Langley remains refreshingly real. And starting this spring, fans will get to experience that authenticity night after night.
Tickets are moving fast. The dandelion has taken flight—catch it while it’s blooming.
