Do NOT miss them.
There’s no doubt that The Red Clay Strays have been red-hot the last year. Riding the highs of their sophomore album, Made by These Moments, in 2024, the Alabama group broke out into the mainstream last November. Not only did they deliver a killer performance of “People Hatin’” at the 59th annual CMA Awards, more importantly, they dethroned Old Dominion as Vocal Group of the Year en route to their first-ever CMA win.
They’ve kept the momentum lately as well, dethroning Old Dominion once again, this time taking home their first-ever ACM Award for Group of the Year in May, dropping their stellar junior album, Grateful, in June and headlining Nissan Stadium on the third night of CMA Fest the same month.
Couple that with a massively successful Grateful tour throughout the year, which saw them sell out Madison Square Garden in New York and record a live album in the process, Red Clay has cemented themselves as one of the premiere acts not only in the alternative country scene, but also in the mainstream as well.
Though they have yet to wrap up their current slate of tour dates, the Strays are already setting their plans for 2027 with the announcement of a massive, 32-show extension of Grateful that spans a majority of the year.
The 2027 Grateful Tour will kick off on January 22 in Raleigh, North Carolina at Lenovo Center before wrapping up all the way on September 19 in Austin, Texas at the Moody Center. Along the way, the Alabama natives will hit major cities and venues such as Los Angeles, Denver, St. Louis, Tucson, Cleveland, Oklahoma City, Edmonton and many more across the U.S. and Canada.
As for openers, the Strays are enlisting three red-hot acts for three separate portions of 2027. To begin the year, reigning ACM New Female Artist of the Year, Avery Anna, will be featured in January and February. From there, The Bends, an alternative rock group who were recently featured on Zach Bryan’s “The Belting Bronco,” will open up multiple dates in March. Finally, fellow Alabamians, Saint Paul & the Broken Bones, will set the stage for the majority of the tour from April to September.
As for presale, registration is live right now, with local presale beginning on Thursday, October 8th at 10 a.m. local. Public on sale, on the other hand, will begin Friday, October 9th at 10 a.m. local. Even more excitingly, you can use our very own presale code, WRREDCLAY, to get early access to this incredibly in-demand tour.
