The 16th annual Ashley for the Arts music festival, slated for Aug. 7-9 at Memorial Park in Arcadia, has officially revealed its full lineup with the recent announcement of its final headliner: Daughtry.

The festival began unveiling its 2025 headliner lineup back in December, first announcing rocker and country artist Darius Rucker. With the reveal of Daughtry, all headliners have been announced:

Friday, Aug. 7:

• 3pm: The Castellows
• 5pm: Daughtry
• 7pm: ZZ Top
• 9pm: Brad Paisley

Saturday, Aug. 8:

• 5pm: Chris Janson

Daughtry frontman Chris Daughtry’s original claim to fame as an American Idol finalist in the spring of 2006 was quickly superseded by the rock band’s self-titled debut album's fast rise to No. 1 on Billboard 200 that same year. In 2007, Daughtry took home a number of American Music Awards – including “New Artist of the Year” and “Artist of the Year” – followed by the band’s four Grammy Award nominations in 2008.
