Ella Langley Tour brings The Dandelion Tour to Oklahoma City’s historic Zoo Amphitheatre on Thursday, June 18, 2026, returning to the venue that celebrated her breakthrough just 18 months earlier. The Oklahoma City stop marks her second headlining performance in the city, following a sold-out January 2025 show at the Tower Theatre where she surprised fans by bringing out Oklahoma native Wyatt Flores for an impromptu duet.

The June 18 concert arrives as the Zoo Amphitheatre celebrates its 90th anniversary season. Built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps using native Oklahoma sandstone, the venue has hosted Willie Nelson, Joni Mitchell, the Grateful Dead, and ZZ Top throughout its nearly century-long history. For Langley, performing at this storied outdoor amphitheater represents a significant career milestone in a year that has already seen her make Billboard history.

Dylan Marlowe and Gabriella Rose join the bill, creating a triple lineup of rising country talent. Doors open at 5:30 PM, with showtime set for 7:00 PM.

The Dandelion Tour Context

The Oklahoma City performance sits squarely in the middle of Langley’s 16-date headlining arena trek, which launched May 7 in Toledo. Named after her sophomore album Dandelion — which dropped April 10 via SAWGOD/Columbia Records with executive production from Langley, Miranda Lambert, and Ben West — the tour represents her first sustained run commanding arenas on her own name.

Dandelion follows her 2024 debut hungover, which produced the Riley Green duet “You Look Like You Love Me” and reached the Country Albums top 5. The new 18-track project explores growth, resilience, and self-discovery through songs co-written with industry heavyweights including Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor.

“This record has so much growth in it,” Langley said upon the album’s announcement. “I’ve never poured more of myself into a project, into a song, into an idea, and it’s fallen out so beautifully.”

The Oklahoma City date arrives one day before Langley’s Independence, Missouri show at Cable Dahmer Arena and one day after her second consecutive stop in the Midwest, following her debut at Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis on May 8.

Ticket Information & Pricing

Tickets for Ella Langley’s Zoo Amphitheatre performance are available through Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats. Secondary market pricing currently starts around $193 per ticket, with approximately 125 listings available across major resale platforms as of early March 2026.

Presale access began February 5 at 10:00 AM local time for fans registered through Langley’s official website. General public sales opened February 6 at 10:00 AM local time. VIP packages remain available and typically include premium seating, early venue entry, exclusive merchandise, and access to the venue’s renovated VIP “Glampground” featuring a custom Airstream bar and private restrooms.

Given Langley’s recent chart dominance with “Choosin’ Texas” and the limited 16-date tour schedule, Oklahoma City tickets are moving steadily. The venue’s 5,000-seat capacity creates a more intimate environment than the stadium shows Langley supports for Morgan Wallen, making this a premium opportunity to experience her headlining production.

Zoo Amphitheatre operates as a cashless venue. All ticket, concession, and merchandise transactions require credit cards, debit cards, or mobile payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay. Touring merchandise may still accept cash.

Zoo Amphitheatre Venue Guide

Located at 2101 NE 50th Street in Oklahoma City’s Adventure District, the Zoo Amphitheatre opened in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project during the Great Depression. The venue’s recent multimillion-dollar renovation added over 4,000 new reserved seats, climate-controlled restrooms, upgraded concessions, and streamlined entry gates while preserving the original sandstone construction and terraced lawn seating.

The amphitheater features 5,000 total capacity split between reserved seating sections (A through L) and a general admission lawn. The venue’s natural acoustics, enhanced by the surrounding blackjack oak trees and stone walls, create exceptional sound quality for country music’s dynamic range.

Parking & Transportation
Free parking is available at the adjacent Oklahoma City Zoo and Science Museum Oklahoma lots. A complimentary “people mover” trolley runs continuously from the zoo parking area to the amphitheater entrance beginning two hours before showtime. Rideshare pickup and drop-off is designated in the OKC Zoo parking lot, accessible via NE Grand Boulevard.

Limited ADA-accessible parking is available near the venue entrance via Meyers Place for vehicles displaying valid handicap placards.

Entry & Security
All guests pass through bag checks and metal detector screening upon entry. The venue enforces a strict bag policy: no backpacks of any size are permitted. Small purses and clutches must not exceed 14 inches on the longest side. All bags are subject to search.

Prohibited Items
Outside lawn chairs and umbrellas are not permitted. Professional cameras with detachable lenses, laptops, tablets, drones, and laser pointers are banned. No knives, weapons, pepper spray, or tasers. Fans may bring one empty light plastic refillable water bottle; metal, glass, or hard plastic containers are prohibited.

Weather Policy
All events are rain or shine. In cases of severe weather, instructions will be shared via venue social media and on-site staff announcements. The venue does not issue refunds for weather-related delays unless the show is officially canceled.

Accessibility
Zoo Amphitheatre provides wheelchair-accessible entrances, parking, restrooms, and seating throughout the venue. Accessible seating is available in multiple sections and can be reserved through Ticketmaster’s accessible ticket interface.

Expected Setlist & Performance Details

Based on Langley’s recent 2026 performances at venues including MVP Arena (Albany), KeyBank Center (Buffalo), and Scotiabank Arena (Toronto), the Oklahoma City setlist should feature 16-18 songs spanning both albums plus select covers.

Likely Opening
“Hell At Night” (BigXthaPlug cover) — Langley frequently opens with a tape playback of this high-energy hip-hop reinterpretation, signaling her genre-blending approach before the band enters.

Core Setlist Expectations

• “paint the town blue”
• “Country Boy’s Dream Girl”
• “nicotine”
• “Here for the Party” (Gretchen Wilson cover)
• “Never Met Anyone Like You”
• “Dandelion” (title track from the new album)
• “girl you’re taking home”
• “20-20”
• “you look like you love me” (likely performed solo with crowd sing-along)
• “Choosin’ Texas” (guaranteed set highlight and audience focal point)
• “weren’t for the wind” (frequent show closer)

Additional deep cuts from Dandelion rotate into the setlist as the tour progresses, with Langley emphasizing the new material’s live arrangements while maintaining fan-favorite moments from hungover.

The set typically runs 90 minutes, balancing uptempo anthems with emotional ballads that showcase Langley’s vocal range and storytelling precision. Fans should expect a high-production show featuring full band arrangements, dynamic lighting design optimized for outdoor amphitheater settings, and Langley’s natural stage presence honed through years opening for Morgan Wallen and Riley Green.

Special Guests: Dylan Marlowe & Gabriella Rose

Dylan Marlowe brings Nashville authenticity and guitar-forward country to The Dandelion Tour. The North Carolina-born singer-songwriter gained national attention through his appearance on The Voice and has since built a devoted following through singles like “Giving You Up” and “Steady Heart.” His second studio album Keepin’ the Lights On arrived in 2025.

Marlowe recently collaborated with Langley on “Strangers,” which appears on Keepin’ the Lights On. His baritone delivery and emotionally resonant songwriting create a natural pairing with Langley’s blend of country traditionalism and contemporary production. His set typically runs 30-35 minutes, focusing on his most recognizable material plus newer tracks from the 2025 release.

Gabriella Rose represents the newer wave of country artists blending Americana influences with pop accessibility. Her growing catalog and energetic stage presence make her an ideal tour opener, typically performing a 20-minute set that introduces audiences to her core sound before Marlowe takes the stage.

The rotating support acts across different Dandelion Tour dates include Kameron Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, and Laci Kaye Booth, but the Oklahoma City bill specifically features Dylan Marlowe and Gabriella Rose.

About Ella Langley

Born May 3, 1999, in Hope Hull, Alabama, Ella Langley grew up immersed in music through Baptist church singing and family jam sessions. After relocating to Nashville in 2019, she built her career through the city’s songwriter community, eventually landing cuts on Elle King’s Come Get Your Wife and a Runaway June single.

Her debut album hungover arrived August 2, 2024, debuting at No. 77 on the Billboard 200. The deluxe edition Still Hungover pushed the album to No. 49 upon its November 2024 re-entry. “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green became her first No. 1 on Country Airplay, while “Weren’t for the Wind” peaked at No. 18 on the Hot 100.

“Choosin’ Texas,” co-written with Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick, and Joybeth Taylor, became Langley’s career-defining moment. The song debuted at No. 39 on the Hot 100 in November 2025 and climbed to No. 1 by February 2026, making history as the first female-led country song to simultaneously command the Hot 100, Hot Country Songs, and Country Airplay charts. The track has accumulated over 240 million streams and remains in the Top 5 at country radio as of early March 2026.

At the 2025 CMA Awards, Langley earned six nominations including Female Vocalist of the Year, New Artist of the Year, and Single of the Year for “you look like you love me,” ultimately winning Best Single of the Year.

Langley’s influences span Stevie Nicks, Willie Nelson, and 1970s-80s rock bands, creating a sound that balances country authenticity with rock energy and pop melody. Her live performances emphasize this fusion, moving seamlessly between tender ballads and arena-ready anthems.

Oklahoma City Concert History

Langley’s January 23, 2025 performance at the Tower Theatre marked her first headlining show in Oklahoma City as part of the Still Hungover Tour. That intimate venue performance featured a surprise appearance by Oklahoma native Wyatt Flores, who joined Langley onstage for an impromptu performance of “You Look Like You Love Me.”

The June 18, 2026 return represents a significant venue upgrade. Where the Tower Theatre accommodates roughly 1,500 fans in a restored historic movie palace setting, Zoo Amphitheatre’s 5,000-seat outdoor configuration positions Langley as an arena-level headliner. For Oklahoma City fans who attended the 2025 show, the 2026 concert offers a rare opportunity to witness an artist’s evolution in real time across two distinct performance environments.

Zoo Amphitheatre’s outdoor setting creates a different concert experience than indoor arenas. The venue’s terraced lawn and reserved seating sections offer clear sightlines to the stage, while the surrounding oak trees and native stone walls create natural acoustics that favor country music’s dynamic range. Summer evenings in Oklahoma City allow for comfortable outdoor concert conditions, with temperatures typically in the high 70s to mid-80s by showtime.

Pre-Show & Post-Show Oklahoma City

Visitors traveling to Oklahoma City for the concert have access to the Adventure District’s attractions and restaurants within a short distance of Zoo Amphitheatre. The venue sits adjacent to the Oklahoma City Zoo and Science Museum Oklahoma, creating a cluster of entertainment options.

Dining Options Near the Venue
The Adventure District offers limited immediate dining, but nearby Bricktown (10 minutes south) features extensive restaurant options including Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill, Chelino’s Mexican Restaurant, and Iron Star Urban BBQ. For pre-show casual dining closer to the venue, guests typically visit chains along NE 50th Street or pack picnic-style meals for tailgating in the zoo parking lots.

Parking Strategy
Free parking at the zoo lots typically fills by 6:00 PM for popular concerts. Early arrival (by 5:30 PM) secures the best spots closest to the trolley pickup. The trolley runs continuously, eliminating lengthy walks from distant parking areas. Street parking in surrounding residential areas is limited and subject to permit requirements.

Post-Show Considerations
Traffic exits efficiently from the zoo parking area onto NE 50th Street, though minor congestion occurs at the intersection with Martin Luther King Avenue. Allowing 15-20 minutes for parking lot clearance typically reduces wait times. Nearby hotels along I-35 and Meridian Avenue provide convenient options for out-of-town guests.

Why This Show Matters

The Oklahoma City date captures Langley at a pivotal moment — actively promoting a new album while her biggest single still dominates country radio and streaming platforms. “Choosin’ Texas” remains in the Top 5 at country radio as of early March 2026, ensuring maximum audience familiarity with her recent work.

The Dandelion album, released just weeks before the tour launch, positions Langley as an artist in active creative mode rather than touring on legacy material. For attendees, the June 18 concert offers access to an artist whose career trajectory suggests festival headline slots and stadium dates within the next 12-24 months.

Langley’s collaboration with Miranda Lambert on Dandelion adds industry credibility that translates to live performance polish. Lambert’s influence appears in the album’s production values and songwriting depth, elements that elevate Langley’s live show beyond typical rising-artist performances.

The Zoo Amphitheatre’s 90th anniversary season adds historical context to the performance. Langley joins a lineage of iconic artists who have performed at this venue, from Willie Nelson’s outlaw country to the Grateful Dead’s psychedelic rock to ZZ Top’s blues-infused boogie.

Related Shows & Tour Continuation

Following Oklahoma City, Langley continues to Independence, Missouri for a Cable Dahmer Arena show on June 19, then pauses headlining dates to support Morgan Wallen at Soldier Field in Chicago on June 20. She returns to The Dandelion Tour schedule with shows in Salem, Virginia (June 25) and Wilmington, North Carolina (June 26).

The tour concludes with a Texas three-show run in mid-August: Austin’s Moody Center (August 13), Corpus Christi’s Hilliard Center (August 14), and Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena (August 15). The Texas finale holds symbolic weight given “Choosin’ Texas” becoming her signature hit.

Fans unable to attend the Oklahoma City show can catch Langley at nearby dates in Independence, Missouri (one day after OKC) or at her supporting slot with Morgan Wallen at Soldier Field in Chicago (two days after OKC).
