Multi-GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum rock band Daughtry have announced the second leg of their 20 Years Unplugged tour, extending the intimate acoustic celebration into 2027 with 26 newly announced dates. The new run opens January 23 at Saracen Casino Resort in Pine Bluff, AR and closes March 7 at the Tabernacle Presented By iTHINK Financial in Atlanta, GA. 

To celebrate 20 Years Unplugged,a limited allotment of tickets will be available for $20 at each show, while supplies last. Artist presale, VIP packages, and the $20 ticket promotion begin Wednesday, September 30 at 10am local and run through Thursday, October 1 at 10pm local. 

Local promoter, venue, radio, and other presales run Thursday, October 1 from 10am to 10pm local. Tickets go on general sale Friday, October 2 at 10am local HERE.

Before the newly announced dates begin, Daughtry will take the first leg of 20 Years Unplugged across the U.S. this fall. The 22-date run opens October 12 at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, NY and continues through November 14 at Majestic Theatre in Dallas, TX, with support from Buffalo, NY singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Perdz across all shows. Tickets for the first leg are on sale now HERE.

20 Years Unplugged pulls arena-sized songs into a stripped-back setting where Chris’s unmistakable voice, the scrape of a guitar string, and the quiet before a chorus carry the weight. The format brings fans closer to the lyrics and stories threaded through two decades of Daughtry, connecting the catalogue that built the band with the heavier, more emotionally exposed music defining them today.

The second leg arrives during an active 20th-anniversary campaign for Daughtry. In July, the band released There and Back Again, an 11-track collection of newly rerecorded versions of catalogue cornerstones including “It’s Not Over,” “Home,” “Over You” and “What About Now.” At the same time, the SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM era has produced No. 1 singles “ARTIFICIAL,” “PIECES” and “THE BOTTOM,” keeping the anniversary rooted as firmly in the band’s creative present as in the songs that made them one of modern rock’s defining commercial forces.

ABOUT DAUGHTRY

Daughtry remain a force of nature in rock music and culture, standing as one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century. The history-making group have scored multiple platinum and gold certifications, notched two No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200, packed venues worldwide, and sold north of 11 million albums and 25 million singles. Their self-titled debut was the top-selling album of 2007 and became the fastest-selling rock debut album in SoundScan history, earning four GRAMMY® Award nominations and winning four American Music Awards alongside seven Billboard Music Awards, including Album of the Year.

Across subsequent albums Leave This Town, Break The Spell, Baptized, Cage To Rattle, and Dearly Beloved, Daughtry have continued to build a catalogue rooted in anthemic songwriting, emotional honesty, and Chris Daughtry’s unmistakable vocal power. Recent singles “World On Fire,” “Heavy Is The Crown,” and “Changes Are Coming” all cracked the Top 10 at Billboard Rock Airplay, while the band’s 2023 cover of Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” featuring Lzzy Hale of Halestorm became another major moment in their ongoing evolution.

In 2024, Daughtry launched a heavier new era with SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM, which earned the band 3 Number 1 singles “ARTIFICIAL,” “PIECES,” and “THE BOTTOM,” while There and Back Again and 20 Years Unplugged revisit the songs that built the band through fresh recordings and a closer, more exposed live setting.
