Multi-GRAMMY Award-nominated, multi-platinum rock band Daughtry has announced their 20 Years Unplugged tour, a special fall run that will bring two decades of songs into intimate theatres and performance spaces across the U.S. Tickets go on general sale Friday, June 19 at 10am local here.
The tour opens October 12 at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, NY and continues through November 14 at Majestic Theatre in Dallas, TX, with stops in Beverly, Uncasville, Atlantic City, Huntington, Las Vegas, Anaheim, San Antonio and more. Support across all shows comes from Buffalo, NY singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Perdz.
Artist presale and VIP packages begin Wednesday, June 17 at 10am local. Local presales, including promoter, venue, and radio presales, run on Thursday, June 18, from 10 am local. Tickets go on general sale Friday, June 19 at 10 am local.
20 Years Unplugged gives fans the chance to experience Daughtry’s catalogue in a stripped-back acoustic setting, reframing the songs that have soundtracked arenas, rock radio milestones, and some of the most defining moments of the band’s career. 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.
The announcement follows the release of Shock To The System (Deluxe), the complete edition of Daughtry’s two-part project via Big Machine Rock. The collection brings together Shock To The System (Part One) and Shock To The System (Part Two), along with additional live recordings that capture the force and connection of the band’s latest era. Across tracks including “Artificial,” “Pieces,” “The Bottom,” and “Antidote”, Daughtry continues to channel grief, change, confrontation, and self-reclamation into some of their heaviest and most emotionally direct work to date.
Support for the tour will come from up-and-coming alt-rock star, Ryan Perdz. The Buffalo, NY singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist recently announced his debut album Can’t Cry, out August 14 via Big Machine Rock, and has been building momentum with the release of “Sour,” “Heavy Eyes,” and his fresh reimagining of MGMT’s “Time to Pretend.” Raised on his grandparents’ family farm and citing rock icons such as Chris Cornell, John Frusciant, and Kurt Cobain as some of his biggest influences, Perdz’s unique brand of guitar-driven songwriting brings a raw, melodic voice to a new generation of modern rock.

Daughtry remains 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 has 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 has 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.
Ryan Perdz is a 25-year-old singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Buffalo, NY. Raised on his grandparents’ family farm, he began teaching himself guitar at age ten and later expanded into bass, violin, and mandolin, developing a hands-on approach to songwriting and arrangement. Influenced by Nirvana, Chris Cornell, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Led Zeppelin, Perdz channels the emotional weight of 90s rock through a modern lens, balancing grit with melody. After independently releasing multiple singles and his First Sight EP, he signed with Big Machine Rock in 2025 and began recording his debut full-length album, Can’t Cry, out August 14.
