Red Clay Strays Las Vegas 2026: Grateful Tour Setlist

The last night of the Grateful Tour belongs to Las Vegas. The Red Clay Strays finish their 40-plus-date run at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, December 5, 2026, with Brent Cobb and Muscadine Bloodline opening. It lands in National Finals Rodeo week, and exactly one year after the band played The Theater at Virgin Hotels, a room a fraction of the size.

Grateful, the album at the center of the night

The Red Clay Strays released Grateful, their third album, on June 5, 2026, through HBYCO Records and RCA. Dave Cobb produced it again, splitting the sessions between his studio in Savannah and Nashville's RCA Studio A, and it leans further toward gospel than anything they had made, without turning into a gospel record. It follows Moment of Truth from 2022 and Made by These Moments from 2024, the album that took the six-piece from bars to arenas.

Brandon Coleman's voice is the reason to be in the room. Wondering Why came out in 2022 and went nowhere much until September 2023, when clips of the band playing it spread on TikTok. Early in 2024 it became their first Billboard Hot 100 entry, and it is now certified triple platinum in the United States.

Where: MGM Grand Garden Arena, MGM Grand, south Strip. When: Saturday, December 5, 2026, the final night of the tour. Run time: about two hours for the band's own set, after two opening acts. Best for: fans of Southern rock and soul-heavy country, and anyone in town for the rodeo.

What the setlist looks like

The Grateful Tour setlist has a steady core. Across seven shows reported this summer, from Boston and New York to Bozeman and Seattle, ten songs turned up every night: Demons in Your Choir, Stone's Throw, Don't Wanna Know, Down South, If I Didn't Know You, Devil in My Ear, Sunshine, People Hatin', Wondering Why and I'm Still Fine. Demons in Your Choir, the album's first single, opened the Madison Square Garden show.

Around that spine the band rotates, pulling in Drowning, Fool's Gold, Ghosts or On My Knees, and on some nights the traditional Will the Lord Remember Me. Wanna Be Loved is the dependable late-show song, and No One Else Like Me has closed several nights, stretched to nearly ten minutes at Madison Square Garden in August. That New York show ran 25 songs in the main set, with all 11 tracks from Grateful in it.

How the night runs

Two support sets come first, so the evening runs close to four hours from the first opener to the last chord. Brent Cobb plays the kind of easygoing Georgia country that suits the slot, and Muscadine Bloodline are a duo from Mobile, the same Alabama city as the headliners. MGM Grand Garden Arena holds about 16,800, and the seating map for this show puts a general admission floor in front of the stage, with reserved seats around the bowl. The arena sits at the back of MGM Grand, and the Las Vegas Monorail stops at the resort.

One more show the same weekend

The rodeo crowd fills the Strip that weekend, and most of them stay through Sunday. If yours does too, Jeff Dunham brings Walter, Peanut and Achmed to PH Live the next night, and our Jeff Dunham guide covers that show. For a second country concert instead, our NFR concerts guide lists every one of the week, night by night.
