Event Overview

Ella Langley returns to the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, NH on Thursday, July 30, 2026 — this time as the headliner. Exactly one year earlier, on July 26, 2025, she stood on this same stage as the opening act for Riley Green’s Ain’t My Last Rodeo Tour, performing 30-minute sets to a sold-out crowd. The July 30 date inverts that billing entirely, and it marks one of the clearest illustrations on The Dandelion Tour of how fast Langley’s live draw has moved since “Choosin’ Texas” topped the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2026.

The Gilford show is the only confirmed New England date on The Dandelion Tour. For fans across New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and the broader Northeast, this is the closest headline show Langley will play in 2026. The 9,000-capacity outdoor amphitheatre sits on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, making the July 30 date as much a summer destination event as a concert.

Langley’s most recent appearances ahead of The Dandelion Tour included a Grand Ole Opry performance on February 24, 2026, a co-headlining slot at Spotify House during SXSW in Austin in March 2026, and a run of arena dates supporting Eric Church in February. The Gilford date falls five days after her North Charleston Coliseum show on July 25, giving her and the touring crew a brief reset before the New England run.

Ticket Information

Ella Langley Gilford tickets are available through Ticketmaster and the Bank of NH Pavilion box office. The venue’s 9,000-seat capacity spans reserved seating in the covered pavilion and a large open lawn area behind it. As the only New England headline date on The Dandelion Tour, demand from across the region is expected to be significant — the venue sold out for the Riley Green show Langley opened in July 2025.

The BankNH Pavilion box office opens late on event days — call ahead at (603) 293-4700 to confirm hours. Digital tickets should be downloaded and ready on your mobile device before arrival. The venue is fully cashless; all points of sale accept credit and debit cards and mobile payments only. All sales are final with no refunds or exchanges.

Lawn ticket holders: Personal lawn chairs are prohibited at the Bank of NH Pavilion regardless of chair height. This is one of the few venues on The Dandelion Tour that enforces a full lawn chair ban. Rental chairs are available inside the venue. Blankets are permitted and are the recommended alternative — bring one that is large enough for your group.

Opening Acts

Kameron Marlowe and Laci Kaye Booth are confirmed as opening acts for the July 30 Gilford date. Both artists connect naturally to Langley’s fanbase, and both are worth arriving early for — the Hazy Little Stage at BankNH Pavilion hosts local and regional acts before the main stage lineup begins, meaning the entertainment starts well before 7:00 PM.

Kameron Marlowe

North Carolina-born Kameron Marlowe signed with Columbia Nashville and built a following through raw, blue-collar country writing before his independent breakout. His single “Giving You Up” demonstrated the kind of emotionally direct storytelling that overlaps heavily with Langley’s audience. His opening slots on The Dandelion Tour’s early dates drew strong responses from sold-out rooms.

Laci Kaye Booth

Texas native Laci Kaye Booth rose to broader national attention through American Idol Season 17 before establishing credible country credentials with material that sits between traditional Nashville and contemporary production. Her vocal range and stage presence have been a consistent highlight across The Dandelion Tour’s July run, which she also joins in Pikeville and Cary.

Venue Guide: Bank of NH Pavilion

The Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at 72 Meadowbrook Lane, Gilford, NH 03249 is a 9,000-capacity outdoor amphitheatre set against the Lake Winnipesaukee shoreline in central New Hampshire. It is the premier outdoor concert destination in the Northeast outside of major metropolitan markets, drawing fans from across New England and upstate New York for its summer season. The venue features a covered pavilion for reserved seating and a large open lawn behind it, with the Midway — a concourse of food, beverage, and merchandise vendors — running between the two areas.

The Bank of NH Pavilion enforces a strict bag policy. All bags not meeting these criteria must be returned to your vehicle before entry.

Lawn Rules — What to Bring and What to Leave Behind

The lawn at BankNH Pavilion operates differently from most other outdoor venues on The Dandelion Tour. Personal lawn chairs of any height are prohibited — this is a venue-wide policy, not a show-specific rule. Rental chairs are available inside for the lawn area. Blankets are fully permitted and are the standard setup for lawn ticket holders. There is no size restriction listed for blankets, but keep it practical — you are sharing a sloped lawn with thousands of other attendees.

Prohibited and Permitted Items

One factory-sealed water bottle (up to 1L) or an empty reusable non-metal bottle — water refill stations are available inside
Non-professional cameras without detachable lenses are generally permitted
No outside food, alcohol, coolers, or glass containers of any kind
Umbrellas are allowed but must remain closed during performances — bring a clear poncho instead for rain
No selfie sticks, GoPros, iPads, tablets, or professional recording equipment
No weapons of any kind, including pocket knives
No pets anywhere on the property — service animals with documentation are the exception

The Tailgating Reality

The Bank of NH Pavilion actively promotes responsible tailgating, and parking lots open 3–4 hours before showtime. However, Gilford town ordinances prohibit the consumption of alcohol in the venue’s parking areas. This distinction is one that most national sites miss entirely. Pre-show drinking is not permitted in the lots regardless of what “tailgating culture” at the venue might suggest — plan accordingly and save the drinks for inside the gates.

Lake Winnipesaukee note: The Bank of NH Pavilion sits near the shore, and July evenings in Gilford can shift from warm to noticeably cool after sunset. The show runs from approximately 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. A light layer for the latter half of the night is worth packing, particularly for lawn ticket holders with no covered seating overhead.

Smoking Policy

Smoking and vaping are only permitted in the designated smoking area located on the far right of the lawn. Smoking is strictly prohibited in all reserved seating sections, the pavilion, and the plaza areas. This is enforced by venue staff throughout the night.

Re-Entry and Security

Once you enter the venue and have your ticket scanned, re-entry is not permitted. Plan all outside-the-venue activity before passing through the gates. All patrons pass through walk-through metal detectors upon entry, and security staff conduct bag inspections and wanding as needed. Digital tickets should be open and ready on your screen before you reach the front of the line.

Accessibility

The venue is ADA-accessible with designated accessible parking, entrances, restrooms, and seating. Guests requiring accessible accommodations should contact the box office at (603) 293-4700 in advance of the event. Medical bags are permitted with inspection at designated entry lanes.

Night-of Timeline Gilford, July 30

The Bank of NH Pavilion experience starts well before the 7:00 PM main stage. The Hazy Little Stage — a secondary stage in the Midway concourse area — hosts regional acts shortly after gates open, making early arrival genuinely worthwhile rather than just a parking strategy. Here is the expected flow of the evening.

3–4 PM Parking lots open. This is the earliest legitimate arrival window. Use this time to secure a prime lot position lots fill in priority order, closest first.
5–5:30 PM Venue gates open. The Midway concourse becomes active. The Hazy Little Stage (sponsored by Sierra Nevada) begins hosting local and regional acts shortly after gates open.
~5:30 PM Laci Kaye Booth expected to take the main stage. Exact opener set times are not confirmed in advance being inside before 5:30 PM ensures you catch the full supporting lineup.
~6:15 PM Kameron Marlowe expected on stage. Both openers are worth seeing their sets are typically 25–35 minutes each.
7:00 PM Ella Langley takes the stage for her full headlining set. Runtime expected at 80–90 minutes.
~9:00 PM Show concludes. Parking lot exits will queue rideshare and carpool drop-off areas are designated near the venue entrance.

Expected Setlist Gilford, NH

Langley’s setlist for The Dandelion Tour draws on her documented February 2026 performances — most recently at MVP Arena in Albany, NY on February 14 and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on February 24. As a full headline set, the Gilford show is expected to run 80–90 minutes with 13–15 songs, a significant expansion from the 30-minute support sets she played at this same venue in July 2025. The set balances material from Hungover (2024) and Dandelion (April 10, 2026), with “Choosin’ Texas” as the commercial anchor and “you look like you love me” consistently appearing as the encore across the July run.

Encore: you look like you love me

At the July 2025 BankNH Pavilion show, Langley performed “Country Boy’s Dream Girl,” “Never Met Anyone Like You,” and a cover of Gretchen Wilson’s “Here for the Party” — all three are expected to return for the 2026 headlining set. Setlists vary night to night and are subject to change at the artist’s discretion.
