Ella Langley at Morgan Wallen Tuscaloosa 2026 | Bryant-Denny Tickets

Ella Langley is going home. On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Hope Hull, Alabama native takes the stage at Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium as the direct support act for Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour. It is the first headline concert at the 100,077-capacity venue in more than three decades — and it arrives just eight days after Langley’s sophomore album Dandelion drops on SAWGOD/Columbia Records.

For Langley, this is the most significant performance in her home state to date. She is the reigning Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 artist, riding the historic chart run of Choosin’ Texas — a song about losing a cowboy to a Texas woman — into a 100,000-seat Alabama football cathedral.

Ella is also the first audience test for the full Dandelion-era setlist in a stadium setting, making Tuscaloosa the soft launch before her Ella Langley 2026 tour moves to Stagecoach, Rock The Country, and her own sold-out arena run.

Tuscaloosa is one of three college football stadiums on the Still The Problem Tour, joining Florida’s Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and Michigan’s Michigan Stadium. It is the only single-night stop — most cities receive back-to-back shows with rotating support acts.

The University of Alabama moved its A-Day spring game to April 11 to accommodate concert staging preparation. According to The Crimson White, the last major headline concert at Bryant-Denny was the band Alabama in 1992, making this a 34-year gap.

Ella Langley, Vincent Mason & Zach John King

The evening follows a four-artist format, per Alabama Athletics and Ticketmaster:

• Zach John King (First-of-Four): A former behavioral therapist who pivoted to music and now opens stadium shows on Wallen’s tour. Kicks off the night.
• Vincent Mason (Second-of-Four): Rising country name known for his viral hit “Hell Is a Dance Floor.”
• Ella Langley (Direct Support): The primary opener and longest supporting set of the evening. Alabama native, Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 artist, five-time ACM Award winner.
• Morgan Wallen (Headliner): 20 country radio No. 1 singles, 19 Billboard Music Awards, and the highest-selling country tour in history.

After the show, Nashville DJ and producer John Price hosts a late-night set at Gallettes on University Boulevard starting at 11:00 PM — an unofficial after-party on The Strip, Tuscaloosa’s main entertainment district.

Ella Langley’s Expected Setlist for Tuscaloosa

As direct support, Langley typically performs a 10–12 song set over approximately 45–55 minutes. This is a stadium supporting act slot — shorter and tighter than her 16–18 song headlining Ella Langley setlist on The Dandelion Tour. Crucially, Tuscaloosa falls just eight days after Dandelion releases, making this the first live audience to hear the full album integration:

1. “Hell At Night” (BigXthaPlug) — Tape intro
2. “Country Boy’s Dream Girl”
3. “nicotine”
4. “paint the town blue”
5. “Here for the Party” (Gretchen Wilson cover)
6. “Dandelion” — Album title track, 8 days post-release
7. “Be Her” — Co-written with HARDY
8. “20-20”
9. “you look like you love me” — Solo version (expect a crowd singalong)
10. “Choosin’ Texas” — Hot 100 No. 1. The Alabama crowd hearing a song about losing a man to Texas should produce one of the loudest reactions on the entire tour.
11. “weren’t for the wind” — Always the closer. Second country radio No. 1.

Bryant-Denny Stadium Concert Venue

Important: This is a concert, not a football game. If you know how Bama Saturdays work, expect a different flow. The stage will likely sit in the North End Zone, reconfiguring the sightlines and traffic patterns that Crimson Tide regulars rely on.

• Clear Bag Policy: Clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bags only, max 12”x6”x12”. Small non-clear clutches permitted up to 4.5”x6.5”. No exceptions.
• Security: Walk-through metal detectors at six designated checkpoints around the stadium.
• Tickets: Mobile only. Download to your digital wallet before arriving — cellular congestion at a 100,000-capacity event will slow live loading.
• Parking: $15–$30 per vehicle in University of Alabama campus lots. Pre-booking through Alabama Athletics is recommended. Shuttle service runs from remote parking areas. Limited RV parking available.
• Re-entry: Not permitted. Once you scan in, you are inside for the duration.
• Arrive early: Doors open approximately 3:30 PM (2 hours before showtime). Plan for traffic — Tuscaloosa’s infrastructure is built for football Saturdays, not stadium concerts.

Where Tuscaloosa Fits in Ella Langley’s 2026 Schedule

Tuscaloosa occupies the single most important timing slot on Langley’s pre-headlining calendar:

• April 10: Dandelion album releases on SAWGOD/Columbia Records
• April 18: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL (this show — first performance after album release)
• April 24: Stagecoach Festival, Indio, CA (4th-billed Friday)
• May 1: Rock The Country, Bellville, TX (2nd-billed Friday)
• May 7: The Dandelion Tour opens, Huntington Center, Toledo, OH (first headlining arena show)
• May 9: Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour, Lucas Oil Stadium — the Indianapolis show on May 9

Eight days separate the album release from Tuscaloosa. Langley walks into a 100,000-seat stadium in her home state with a brand-new record, a new stage, and a setlist the audience has never heard in this configuration. Every supporting act date that follows — Indianapolis, Gainesville, Denver, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Clemson, Baltimore, and two nights in Philadelphia — builds on what starts here.
