Ella Langley at Stagecoach Music Festival | Lineup, Setlist & Tickets
Ella Langley at Stagecoach 2026
- Ella Langley performs Friday, April 24 at Stagecoach in Indio, California.
- Expected 8–10 song festival set with new Dandelion tracks released two weeks earlier.
- She’ll wear a bespoke American Eagle outfit as part of AE’s exclusive sponsorship.
- Riley Green is on the Saturday bill — a surprise duet is anticipated but not confirmed.
Ella Langley will take the Stagecoach stage on Friday, April 24, 2026 — exactly two weeks after her sophomore album Dandelion drops on April 10. This will be among the first major festival performances where Langley can draw from the full 18-track set, co-produced by Miranda Lambert and Ben West on SAWGOD/Columbia Records.
The timing is deliberate. Langley is fourth-billed on Friday’s lineup behind headliner Cody Johnson, Bailey Zimmerman, and Red Clay Strays at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. She’ll perform in a bespoke American Eagle outfit as part of AE’s exclusive apparel sponsorship of Stagecoach — the brand’s first-ever country music festival deal.
Riley Green is on the Saturday bill, one day away. BigXthaPlug, whose “Hell At Night” opens every Langley show via tape, is on the same Friday card. The potential for cross-artist moments is significant.

Goldenvoice EVP Stacy Vee framed this year’s booking strategy in an interview with Variety: “With Riley Green, Bailey Zimmerman, Ella Langley, and everyone from Teddy Swims to Brooks & Dunn, every part of country music is represented on the lineup this year.”
The 2026 edition follows a sold-out 2025 festival headlined by Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, and Luke Combs, which drew over 80,000 attendees. Stagecoach takes place one week after Coachella at the same Indio venue, positioning it as the desert weekend’s country counterpart.
Expected Setlist for Stagecoach
Festival sets at Stagecoach typically run 30–45 minutes for artists at Langley’s billing level — significantly shorter than her 90-minute Dandelion Tour headlining shows or her 49-minute opening sets for Riley Green and Morgan Wallen. Based on her 2026 average setlist data from Setlist.fm and recent arena performances, the predicted Stagecoach set is 8–10 songs:
Expected Stagecoach Setlist — Ella Langley (8–10 Songs, ~35–40 Min)
| # | Song | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | “Hell At Night” (BigXthaPlug) Wildcard | Played from tape as intro. BigXthaPlug is on the same Friday bill — live collab possible. |
| 2 | “Country Boy’s Dream Girl” | High-energy opener from hungover. |
| 3 | “nicotine” | Fan favorite. Emotional slow-down. |
| 4 | “paint the town blue” | Most-played song across all tours (56+ performances). |
| 5 | “Here for the Party” Cover | Gretchen Wilson cover. Every full-band show since career start. |
| 6 | “Dandelion” | Title track. Released Jan 30, 2026. |
| 7 | “Be Her” Likely Debut | Co-written with HARDY. Released Feb 13. Not yet performed live. |
| 8 | “you look like you love me” | Solo version. No. 1 Country Airplay. CMA Award winner. |
| 9 | “Choosin’ Texas” | Hot 100 No. 1. Co-written with Miranda Lambert. RIAA Platinum. |
| 10 | “weren’t for the wind” | Always the closer. Second country radio No. 1. |
Key variable: Dandelion drops April 10, two weeks before Stagecoach. Expect 2–3 new album tracks that weren’t in the pre-album rotation. “Be Her” is the most likely addition. With 18 tracks to choose from, the Stagecoach set could introduce songs fans haven’t heard live before.
American Eagle x Stagecoach: Langley’s Brand Activation
American Eagle’s Stagecoach sponsorship is the brand’s most aggressive country music play to date — and Langley is at the center of it.
Per an AEO-Inc investor release, Billboard, ADWEEK, and WWD, AE is the exclusive apparel and denim sponsor of Stagecoach 2026, the world’s largest country music festival. It is the first country music festival sponsorship in American Eagle’s history. The deal is multi-year, per Billboard.
Langley will take the stage in a bespoke American Eagle outfit designed in collaboration with the brand. Bailey Zimmerman, who also performs Friday, will wear a separate custom AE look. Both outfits are part of the “Jeans Country” campaign that launched in February 2026 with Langley as AE’s “Denim Darling.”
The AE x Stagecoach co-branded collection drops March 25 with pieces priced $17.95–$89.95. The women’s range includes suede fringe vests, tube tops, long skirts, maxi dresses, and denim. The men’s line features western-inspired graphics, denim-on-denim styling, graphic tees, and bandana-printed shorts. Accessories span belts, hats, scarves, totes, and cow print.
On the festival grounds, AE will operate two immersive brand environments — one on the main grounds and one in the camping area — featuring product customization, interactive games, and meet-and-greets. AE CMO Craig Brommers told ADWEEK that the play is driven by data: “Country has become Gen Z’s fastest growing music genre. Country is now the most listened-to genre for the American Eagle customer.”
Per Glossy, the Langley AE campaign jeans are already “flying off the shelves” at AE’s Soho flagship. Brommers told Billboard the strategy is simple: “This is really about denim domination.”
Will Riley Green Join Ella Langley at Stagecoach?
The most anticipated question heading into the festival weekend: will Riley Green cross over from his Saturday set to join Langley on Friday?
Green is the second-billed act on Saturday’s lineup, behind headliner Lainey Wilson. Their collaborative track “You Look Like You Love Me” topped Country Airplay, earned a CMA Award, and remains one of the most-requested live moments in both artists’ shows. Their follow-up duet, “Don’t Mind If I Do,” became their third combined country radio No. 1.
There is no official confirmation of a cross-day appearance. But Stagecoach has a well-documented history of surprise guests. In 2025, Luke Combs brought out Garth Brooks for “Friends in Low Places.” In 2019, Lil Nas X surprised the crowd alongside Billy Ray Cyrus for “Old Town Road.” With both Langley and Green on site for the full weekend, the logistics are simple. The anticipation among fans is substantial.

Where Stagecoach Fits in Ella Langley’s 2026 Tour Schedule
Stagecoach occupies a pivotal position in Langley’s 2026 calendar. It falls during the narrow window between her support act commitments and her first headlining arena run:
- April 18: Morgan Wallen’s Still the Problem Tour, Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL (support act)
- April 24: Stagecoach Festival, Empire Polo Club, Indio, CA (festival set)
- May 1: Rock The Country Festival, Bellville, TX (festival set)
- May 7: The Dandelion Tour opens, Huntington Center, Toledo, OH (first headlining arena show)
The arc is clear. Stagecoach is the transition point — the last major festival appearance before Langley steps into arena headliner territory. By the time she takes the stage in Indio, she’ll have a full album to draw from, a national American Eagle campaign behind her, and the momentum of a triple Billboard No. 1. It is the bridge between support act and headliner, and 80,000 people in the California desert will be watching.
