Ella Langley brings The Dandelion Tour to the Moody Center in Austin, TX on Thursday, August 13, 2026. The show marks her debut performance at this 15,000-capacity arena on the University of Texas campus and her first headline show in the Austin market. It opens the three-date Texas run that closes out The Dandelion Tour, with Corpus Christi and Fort Worth to follow on August 14 and 15.
The Austin date carries a particular cultural weight. Langley’s Billboard Hot 100 number one “Choosin’ Texas” has made her one of the most talked-about artists in the state entering 2026. Playing the Moody Center the same venue that has hosted Lady Gaga, Journey, and Cardi B in the same spring and summer season, signals where she now sits in the touring hierarchy.

Her previous Austin appearances were at Stubb’s for an SXSW showcase and at the Rock The Country festival at the Austin County Fairgrounds. The Moody Center is a step change in scale from both.
