The Red Clay Strays' Two-Night Run Hits Fort Worth
Formed in Mobile, Alabama, The Red Clay Strays have spent years building a devoted following with a sound that fuses Southern rock, Americana, soul, and country into something all their own. Their breakout single "Wondering Why" pushed them from regional favorite to national touring act — and the Fort Worth stop at Dickies Arena lands as a rare two-night stand, Wednesday and Thursday, October 7 and 8, 2026.
The run comes on the heels of their 2024 album Made by These Moments, produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb, which built on the momentum of their 2022 debut Moment of Truth. This is not a small club show — this is a full Dickies Arena production: roughly 14,000 seats, one of the largest continuous 360-degree video screens in North America, and a band whose live show has become the heart of their reputation.
Two nights in Fort Worth — October 7 and 8. The Red Clay Strays bring their Mobile-bred Southern rock and Americana sound to Dickies Arena for a two-night stand, touring behind Made by These Moments. Each night is its own show — Dickies Arena's production setup is purpose-built for exactly this kind of run.
What to Expect at Dickies Arena on October 7–8
What songs will The Red Clay Strays play in Fort Worth?
There is no official setlist yet, but a Red Clay Strays show is built to move through the songs that carried them from Mobile bars to the arena stage.

With two nights on the bill, the sets may differ. Treat the songs below as likely rather than guaranteed.

Why a Weeknight Show at Dickies Arena Needs a Plan
Is parking available at Dickies Arena on a weeknight?
Dickies Arena's general lot and Montgomery Lot are available for these Wednesday and Thursday evening shows. Weeknight events at Dickies typically see less gridlock than weekend nights — but a 14,000-capacity arena on a weeknight still means significant Montgomery Street congestion at showtime and a packed parking exit around 9:30 PM when thousands of people leave simultaneously. The $25–$40 parking cost remains regardless of the day of the week.
What's the unique challenge of a weeknight concert for DFW fans?
A 6:30 PM weeknight start presents a specific logistics challenge that weekends don't: getting off work, grabbing dinner, and reaching an early arena show in Fort Worth — with parking, security, and seats covered — all before The Red Clay Strays take the stage. For fans coming from Dallas, Frisco, Arlington, Southlake, or Rockwall, that drive during weeknight rush hour requires leaving early enough to make it work.

| Parking Cost | $25–$40+ at Dickies lots | Included — zero extra cost |
