Hmm.  My daily agenda (the default one) starts like this:

Day-agenda (W20):
Tuesday    14 May 2019

and tasks, etc. are listed below that.  I don't think I've ever
customized this.  Are you seeing something different?  Or maybe you mean
something else by "agenda"?

If you're talking about Org's built-in agenda, you might want to take a
look at the `org-agenda-format-date' variable.  Mine is set to the
org-agenda-format-date-aligned function, which I assume is what outputs
the example above.

If you're just talking about timestamps in Org files, you might want to
look at the `org-time-stamp-custom-formats' and
`org-display-custom-times' variables.

Hope that helps!
