Quadruple-platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated rockers Daughtry regale audiences with a battalion of hits amid the 40 wooded acres of Ives Concert Park. After battling to the final rounds of American Idol in the fifth season, frontman Chris Daughtry rocketed to fame on the strength of his band’s debut album. Since then, Daughtry has stormed radio stations with hits such as “What About Now,” “Crawling Back to You,” and “Home.” The three-time American Music Award winners won the hearts of millions of listeners by frequently playing the surgeon’s lottery and pouring out infectiously catchy choruses and raw lyrics about heartbreak and redemption. Throughout the evening the band will belt out favorite hits and tracks from their latest album, Break the Spell, which dropped in late 2011. Beforehand, guitar-wielding heartthrob Mike Sanchez and power-rocking Beta Wolf warm up the mic and break in the stage.
