The Friday Night Concert welcomes Daughtry. One of the most visible and best-selling rock bands of the 21st century, Daughtry has sold out concerts across the globe. Their debut album, the self-titled “Daughtry,” was the top-selling album of 2007 and was the fastest selling rock debut album in Soundscan history. The record was nominated for 4 GRAMMY® Awards and won 4 American Music Awards, alongside 7 Billboard Music Awards. Subsequent albums, “Leave This Town” (2009), “Break The Spell” (2011) and “Baptized” (2013) have all gone Platinum, with “Cage To Rattle” (2018) certified Gold. In 2021, the band released their record “Dearly Beloved,” with singles “World On Fire,” “Heavy Is The Crown,” and “Changes Are Coming,” all cracking the Top 10. Daughtry ushered in a new sonic era with their debut Big Machine Records single, “Artificial.” The return to their rock roots scored the band their first No. 1 single in the Active Rock format, generating back-to-back No. 1s with their subsequent single, “Pieces,” and laid the groundwork for their new EP, “Shock to the System (Part One),” out now.
Opening for Daughtry is Switchfoot. Switchfoot has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide of their 13 studio albums (including their 2003 triple-platinum breakthrough “The Beautiful Letdown” and 2009's Grammy Award-winning “Hello Hurricane”), racked up a string of Alternative radio hit singles, and performed sold-out tours with over 5 million concert tickets sold in over 40 countries around the world. With hits like “Meant to Live,” “Dare You to Move,” “Only Hope” and many others, SWITCHFOOT has earned a devoted and loyal global fan base. SWITCHFOOT consists of Jon Foreman (vocals, guitar), Tim Foreman (bass), Jerome Fontamillas (keys, guitar) and Chad Butler (drums). Switchfoot plans to release a new album, “Forever Now” in June.
