American rock band Daughtry will perform one show only at
the GrandWest Grand Arena on Wednesday, 27 October.
The band is fronted by singer-songwriter Chris Daughtry who
first gained fame after being placed fourth in the 2006 American Idols
competition. To date Chris is the only contestant from the American show
to have two consecutive albums reach number one on the charts.
Although the band has only released two albums so far they
have notched up an impressive number of accolades. The first single to be
released from their first album, It’s not over was the eighth most played
song across all genres on US music radio stations and their second single
Home became the tenth most played song in the US.
