2000s Rock Band Announces Acoustic Tour for 20th Anniversary With Special Guest
Daughtry is celebrating two decades in the music industry with a special fall tour.
The 2000s rock band, with lead singer and guitarist Chris Daughtry, announced the 20th anniversary tour-with a twist.
Instead of a full-scale production, the tour will take place in smaller, more intimate venues, featuring an unplugged, acoustic set that will put the focus solely on the music and lyrics that fans have come to love over the years.
"The tour will pull the band's music into a more raw and immediate space, where the weight of a lyric, the scrape of a guitar string, and the quiet before a chorus can hit as hard as the full-band impact," a press release reiterated, per ABC Audio.
The tour will begin on Oct. 12 in Troy, N.Y., and span several cities, states and venues, before wrapping up in Dallas, TX, roughly a month later, on Nov. 14.
Fans will be able to score tickets starting this Friday, June 19, at 10 AM local time on the Daughtry website. There will be a chance to get tickets via the presale on Wednesday, June 17, which is also when VIP packages will be available.
The announcement on social media teased, "Get ready for an unforgettable acoustic experience filled with classics, current hits, and a few surprises. This show is going to be different, you don't want to miss it! 🤘"
The tour is being supported by special guest Ryan Perdz.
"Yayyyyyyy!! I'm so here for this tour!! I have been seriously saying y'all need to do an acoustic tour of all these amazing songs. ❤️dreams come true," one fan celebrated, as many others begged the band to bring an acoustic tour to Europe.
Daughtry formed in 2006 after the frontman's run on American Idol on Season 5. Despite coming in fourth place, it fueled a post-Idol success story.
The band's debut album was among the fastest-selling rock debuts in Nielsen SoundScan history, producing multiple radio hits, according to BMI.
While they never scored a Hot 100 No. 1 hit, they achieved multiple major mainstream hits, along with several No. 1's on Billboard's Mainstream Rock / Adult Pop Rock-style charts, including "Home," "It's Not Over," and "Over You."
The band's most recent album release was SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM, which featured two EPs spanning 2024 and 2025.
