The Red Clay Strays are gearing up for what promises to be their most emotional and far-reaching journey yet with The Long Way Home Tour, a sweeping 2026 trek that celebrates the band’s rise from Southern barrooms to international stages. Known for their raw blend of soul, country, and outlaw rock, the band has built a devoted following by turning heartbreak, redemption, and restless energy into unforgettable live performances. This tour is being described by the group as a love letter to the roads that shaped them and the fans who followed them from the very beginning.
The newly revealed tour dates show just how massive this chapter is going to be, kicking off in Nashville before rolling through cities like Atlanta, Dallas, Austin, New Orleans, and Memphis. From there, the tour heads north to Chicago, Detroit, and Minneapolis, before lighting up major arenas in New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia. The Red Clay Strays will also make their way to the West Coast with powerful stops in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, turning every show into a roaring, sing-along revival.
International fans are not left out of the journey, as The Long Way Home Tour expands across the Atlantic and beyond. London, Manchester, and Glasgow will host some of the band’s biggest European shows to date, followed by dates in Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam. The tour will then travel to Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, before closing out in Tokyo and Seoul, marking a truly global moment for a band that once played to only a handful of listeners in smoky Southern bars.
What makes this tour especially powerful is how closely it mirrors the band’s story. Every song in their catalog feels like a mile marker on a long, winding road, and fans can expect a setlist that moves from stripped-down, emotional ballads to thunderous, guitar-driven anthems. The Red Clay Strays have promised new arrangements, extended jams, and moments where the crowd becomes part of the music, creating nights that feel less like concerts and more like shared memories.
With anticipation building fast, the band confirmed that The Long Way Home Tour will officially launch on March 14, 2026, beginning in Nashville and running through late November with its final show in Tokyo, bringing a full-circle close to this deeply personal musical journey.
