Louie TheSinger — September 26, 2026 | Battle Of Smoke & Sound, Dumas, TX
Louie TheSinger appears on the bill with Eli Young Band for the September 26, 2026 Battle of Smoke & Sound festival in Dumas, Texas. Festival lineups often follow flexible billing structures, so set order and exact timing can shift based on the event schedule.
Graham St. Clair Band — September 5, 2026 | Longhorn City Limits, Austin, TX
Graham St. Clair Band is confirmed as the earlier act at Longhorn City Limits on September 5, 2026, performing at 11:00 a.m. on the LBJ Lawn. Eli Young Band is scheduled for approximately 12:30 p.m. This is a free, non-ticketed campus event that sits outside the formal Keep on Dreaming Tour routing.
Festival And Fair Dates On The 2026 Schedule
Several Keep on Dreaming Tour stops take place within larger festival or fair settings where a standard opener and headliner format may not apply. Eli Young Band is scheduled to perform at the Iowa State Fair’s Susan Knapp Amphitheater on August 21, 2026 at 8:00 PM, and no separate opening act appears on that listing. The tour also includes appearances at the Alpenglow Festival in Bozeman, MT on August 29 and the Monterey County Fair on September 3. For these festival-format dates, event organizers typically control any additional artist announcements.
What The Data Shows About Eli Young Band Openers
Across the Keep on Dreaming Tour’s 28 dates, only a handful of support acts had been publicly named at the time of the tour announcement. This pattern aligns with common country touring practice, where headliners confirm openers on a date-by-date basis, often weeks or months after the initial announcement. Festival and fair dates frequently run without a traditional support slot, since the event itself supplies a broader lineup.
Because of this structure, the September 11 Shakopee date stands out as the most fully documented show on the tour, with LANCO confirmed, ticket tiers published, and set times already in place. OnesToWatch regularly highlights artists like LANCO early in their touring arc through an editorial pipeline that has previously spotlighted Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Chappell Roan before they reached mainstream visibility.

How To Find Opener Info And Plan Your Night
Fans looking for confirmed opener details for a specific Eli Young Band date often need to check more than one source, since announcements roll out gradually. The most reliable approaches are:
-
Check the official venue website for your show date, as venues such as Canterbury Park publish full billing details and set times.
-
Monitor Eli Young Band’s official social media channels, where opener announcements usually appear a few weeks before each show.
-
Review Setlist.fm after early tour dates, since fan-documented setlists from recent shows provide a realistic preview of the night.
-
Use the Shakopee pricing as a reference point, with general admission around $46 and other dates varying by venue size and remaining inventory.
Eli Young Band headline sets typically run 90 minutes to two hours, not counting the opening act. Support artists usually play for 20 to 45 minutes before the headliner, so total show time often lands between two and two and a half hours. For the September 11 Shakopee show, music begins at 7:30 PM with LANCO opening, so attendees can plan their arrival and departure around that start time mentioned earlier.
