Ella Langley and Morgan Wallen Soldier Field, Chicago Concert

Ella Langley dethroned Morgan Wallen from No. 1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs with ‘Choosin’ Texas’ in late 2025 — and on June 20, 2026, she takes the stage at Soldier Field as his primary support act on the Still The Problem Tour, performing for 61,500 fans on Juneteenth weekend in Chicago.

Saturday June 20 is the only night Ella Langley performs at Soldier Field. Friday June 19 features Brooks & Dunn as the support act — no Ella. Fans who want to see her must buy Saturday tickets, which start around $196 for upper-level sections versus Friday’s ~$137 entry point. The roughly $54 premium exists entirely because of Ella.

Two viral moments from 2025 built the anticipation that fills every Saturday Ella plays on this tour. The Camp Randall rain-soaked ‘What I Want’ performance and the Ryman ‘Cover Me Up’ duet cemented her chemistry with Wallen as the most talked-about pairing in country music. Chicago fans on June 20 arrive hoping both moments return.

Everything Chicago fans need — set time, expected setlist, ticket tiers, the full survival guide, and the stories behind the duets — is below. See the complete  schedule for every upcoming date.

Morgan Wallen June 20 vs June 19 Concert

Morgan Wallen plays Soldier Field on back-to-back nights, but the two lineups are completely different. Friday June 19 pairs Wallen with Brooks & Dunn alongside Gavin Adcock and Zach John King. Saturday June 20 replaces Brooks & Dunn with Ella Langley. The two nights do not share a main support act.

Ticket platforms like SeatGeek data confirms Saturday tickets start from approximately $196 for upper-level sections, while Friday starts from approximately $137 — a $54 gap driven by Ella’s presence. Fans searching for the Ella Langley night must buy the Saturday show. Every other SERP listing treats both nights as identical, and that confusion costs fans the show they actually want.

Show Schedule: When Ella Takes the Stage

Ella Langley takes the stage at approximately 7:10 PM CDT, third in the June 20 running order. Her solo set runs 45 to 55 minutes across 10 to 12 songs from the Dandelion era. Based on 2025 Still The Problem Tour precedent, she also rejoins Wallen mid-set for at least one duet, expected around 10:30 PM CDT.

Ella Langley’s Solo Set: What Chicago Can Expect

Based on Setlist.fm verified 2026 Dandelion Tour averages, Ella Langley opens with ‘Hell At Night’ played from tape — a BigXthaPlug track she uses as an atmospheric intro — before launching into ‘Country Boy’s Dream Girl,’ ‘nicotine,’ and ‘paint the town blue.’ Setlists shift from night to night; this is the expected order, not the confirmed programme.

The set builds through a Gretchen Wilson cover — ‘Here for the Party’ — into the Dandelion album title track, before ‘You Look Like You Love Me’ (the Riley Green collab that logged No. 1 on Country Airplay in December 2024 and has since cleared 267 million Spotify streams) draws the loudest crowd response. Ella typically closes with ‘Weren’t for the Wind’ after bringing ‘Choosin’ Texas’ — the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 that briefly dethroned Wallen — near the finale.

The Chicago Moment: Ella and Morgan Wallen Live

Two performances from 2025 tell the story that makes June 20 the most anticipated Ella–Wallen night since last summer.

Night one was June 28, 2025, at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin — the largest concert in Wisconsin history. Morgan Wallen brought Ella onstage to perform ‘What I Want,’ the duet from his I’m The Problem album originally recorded with Tate McRae, marking the first time Wallen featured a live female duet partner in concert.

The next night, June 29, Ella was filmed backstage writing McRae’s lyrics on the palm of her hand before the show, asking the camera: ‘Do you think it’s embarrassing?’ Then Ella and Wallen performed the song in pouring rain. The TikTok response was immediate. The defining fan comment — ‘I still feel like we got robbed’ — captured what much of country music already knew: Ella should have been the original duet partner.

Four months later, on November 7, 2025, Ella brought Wallen onstage for the final night of her own sold-out Still Hungover Tour at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Before he walked out, she told the crowd: ‘I’ve been trying to convince this man to sing this song with me for so long — it has honestly taken two whole tours to do this.’

The song was ‘Cover Me Up’ — Jason Isbell’s ballad from Southeastern that Wallen covered on Dangerous: The Double Album. Multiple outlets, including Taste of Country and American Songwriter, described the performance as bone-chilling. Wallen quipped from the stage: ‘It takes a lot more than an awards show to get me out to Broadway these days’ — a line that went separately viral in the days before the 59th CMA Awards.

On June 20 at Soldier Field, based on 2025 Still The Problem Tour precedent, Ella is expected to rejoin Wallen mid-set for ‘What I Want,’ with ‘Cover Me Up’ as a possible second moment. Both duets are expected — not officially confirmed.

The new stage design amplifies the stakes: the Still The Problem Tour features an airplane-shaped catwalk with four pit areas (up from two in 2025), confirmed by Taste of Country (November 4, 2025). Floor and lower pit sections place fans within feet of the extended catwalk wings during the duet appearances. Those sections command a premium — and earn it.
