The Red Clay Strays are having a year, and the full scope of it is now on the table. The Mobile, AL-based band has announced a new series of headline dates that includes Madison Square Garden in New York City, a 2-night stand at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and a closing run at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, alongside festival appearances at Stagecoach, Bourbon & Beyond, and more. Special guests across select dates include The Revivalists, Haley Reinhart, Travis Tritt, Brent Cobb, and Sierra Ferrell.
The headline run sits inside a calendar that already establishes 2026 as their biggest year to date. Top-billed festival slots at Two Step Inn, Stagecoach, and Bourbon & Beyond frame a summer and fall that moves from 10,000-seat rooms to full arenas, a trajectory that reflects how fast this band has grown.
The most distinctive addition to the schedule is The Red Clay Strays Fan Fest 2026, the first-ever RCS fan festival, running June 24-28 at Abayance Bay Marina in Rexford, MT. The 5-night event features a headline set from The Red Clay Strays, the Strays with Stories intimate performance series, shows from Lukas Nelson and St. Paul & the Broken Bones, and more. It’s the kind of destination event that signals a band with a fanbase deep enough to build something that personal around.
The band also has new music out. “If I Didn’t Know You” is available now via HBYCO Records/RCA Records, written by Drew Nix and accompanied by an official music video directed by Matthew Coleman. The romantic Valentine’s Day release co-stars comedian Matt Rife and fitness influencer Mariah Morse, and it’s a tender ballad that shows a different dimension of the band’s range alongside their road-tested country rock.
Tickets for the new headline dates are on sale now.
