We have measured the clustering of Luminous Red Galaxies in Stripe 82 using the angular correlation function. We have selected 130000 LRGs via colour cuts in R-I:I-K with the K band data coming from UKIDSS LAS. We have used the cross-correlation technique of Newman (2008) to establish the redshift distribution of the LRGs as a function of colour cut, cross-correlating the LRGs with SDSS QSOs, DEEP2 and VVDS galaxies. We also used the AUS LRG redshift survey to establish the n(z) at z<1. We then compare the w(theta) results to the results of Sawangwit et al (2010) from 3 samples of SDSS LRGs at lower redshift to measure the dependence of clustering on redshift and LRG luminosity. We have compared the results for luminosity-matched LRG samples with simple evolutionary models, such as those expected from long-lived, passive models for LRGs and for the HOD models of Wake et al (2009) and find that the long-lived model may be a poorer fit than at lower redshifts. We find some evidence for evolution in the LRG correlation function slope in that the 2-halo term appears to flatten in slope at z>1. We present arguments that this is not caused by systematics.
