Hitting the road. This morning, Ella Langley announced The Dandelion Tour, which was of course named for her forthcoming sophomore album Dandelion, which is slated for release on April 10th. Ella produced the album alongside Miranda Lambert and Ben West, and it’s easily one of the most highly-anticipated albums announced this year.
Ella says she wanted it to feel like “the best kind of Sunday afternoon,” and the record really serves as a love letter to her childhood memories and that feeling of nostalgia and freedom:
“This record has so much growth in it. I’ve never poured more of myself into a project, into a song, into an idea, and it’s fallen out so beautifully. It’s about learning yourself, making mistakes, and realizing that it’s all just part of life.
I want this record to be something that fans can relate to, but also something they want to get up and dance to at the same time. To me, this record feels like fireflies in the summertime. It feels like windows down on a red dirt road. It feels like the best kind of Sunday afternoon.
It feels like those days I remember as a kid where it felt like there weren’t enough hours in the day. This record is really a love letter to that.”
Ella of course put out her debut album Hungover in the summer of 2024, which featured her smash hit, award-winning song with Riley Green “You Look Like You Love Me.”
She has already released two songs from the 18-song tracklist, including the title track as well as the hit song “Choosin’ Texas,” and so she’ll have a ton of new material to play on the tour which kicks off in May.
Ella will bring along some very talented artists in Kameron Marlowe, Dylan Marlowe, Kaitlin Butts, Gabriella Rose, and Laci Kaye Booth as she headlines arenas across the country. The tour kicks off on May 7th in Toledo, Ohio, and she has 16 dates right now which will conclude in Fort Worth, Texas on August 15th.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday, February 6th:
“You know we had to take this record on the road… So excited to announce ‘The Dandelion Tour!’ Also, bringing some of my favorite people along, you won’t wanna miss this. Presale for tickets & VIP packages begins Thursday, Feb. 5 at 10am local (sign up on my website)! General on sale is Friday, Feb. 6 at 10am local.”
