Ella Langley readies “Dandelion” era with April 10 album date and new title track

Ella Langley is teeing up her next major release cycle with a newly announced album, a fresh title track already on streaming platforms, and a growing 2026 live calendar that signals bigger rooms and higher-profile stops. The near-term focus is “Dandelion,” slated for an April 10 release, while fans are tracking early tour breadcrumbs and festival bookings that stretch into late summer.

As of Saturday, Jan. 31, 2026, 3:00 p.m. ET, the “Dandelion” title track is available on major services, giving the first real audio preview of the album’s direction ahead of the spring drop.

Ella Langley sets April 10 album release

The album rollout is now formal: “Dandelion” is scheduled for April 10, as shown on Langley’s official site, where pre-order and pre-save prompts have gone live.  The timing places the release squarely in the heart of the spring touring and festival window, when new projects can convert quickly into setlist staples and radio momentum.

Key takeaways

• “Dandelion” is set for release on April 10 (ET).

• The title track has landed on streaming, paired with “Choosin’ Texas” on the single release.

• A notable 2026 fair date is on the books for Aug. 21, adding a major summer anchor.

Title track arrives with new tone

The title track serves as the immediate on-ramp to the new era. On streaming services, “Dandelion” appears as a 2026 single release packaged with an additional track, reinforcing that the album campaign is moving beyond teasers and into full distribution.

Early write-ups around the release frame the album as a more personal chapter, leaning into resilience and self-definition rather than simply extending a breakout run. That matters because second albums can be tricky: audiences want the familiar spark, while artists often try to widen the emotional range and sharpen the storytelling voice. The title track’s arrival—well ahead of the full record—sets expectations for what kind of songs will lead the setlists this spring.

Tour signals and early on-sale dates

Beyond the music, the next big question is routing: when the headlining tour details fully drop, and how aggressively Langley’s team builds the 2026 schedule around the new album. In the past few days, fan chatter has spiked around tour hints tied to online countdown-style promotions and a wider push of official messaging. Even without a single definitive, all-dates-at-once announcement publicly visible in one place yet, third-party ticketing calendars already show select 2026 appearances, including a Jan. 31 listing tied to a live event in Louisiana. 

Industry-facing coverage also points to a “major tour” approaching, consistent with the kind of step-up cycle that typically follows a breakout year: more headline dates, more arena-level support slots, and more regional festivals filling in the gaps between album-week promotions.

Festival bookings add scale

One of the clearest tells of momentum is the caliber of summer bookings, and Langley’s 2026 calendar already includes a prominent fair date: an Aug. 21 show at the Illinois State Fair grandstand in Springfield, a slot that often goes to acts with enough draw to anchor a night on a large outdoor stage. 

That kind of booking tends to be part of a broader strategy—pairing a new album with high-visibility, family-friendly events that can translate into new listeners, then converting that attention into ticket sales for fall headline runs. The fair date also offers a fixed point on the map for fans trying to plan travel early, even as other routing details come into focus.

What to watch next

With the album date locked, the next developments that will matter most are straightforward and observable: any official tracklist reveal, a lead radio single designation, and the first full tour announcement that bundles cities, venues, and on-sale times in one place. If “Dandelion” lands with strong early streaming numbers and prompts a fast add at country radio, the spring calendar could tighten quickly as demand concentrates around limited dates.

For now, the shape of the story is clear: a spring album release, a title track already out in the market, and a summer slate that’s beginning to look like a larger-stage year.
