Daughtry will return to the Chippewa Valley on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2027, as part of the multi-award-winning band's “20 Years Unplugged” tour.

Announced today, Sept. 29, locals will have their second chance in about as many years to see the modern rock outfit perform closer to home – this time, at the Pablo Center at the Confluence (128 Graham Ave., Eau Claire).

A limited allotment of $20 tickets will also be available while supplies last, according to a recent media release. Those $20 promotional tickets, VIP packages, artist and member presale tickets will be on sale at 10am on Wednesday, Sept. 30.

Tickets for the general public will be on sale beginning 10am on Friday, Oct. 2.

All Pablo Center show tickets should be purchased through the local venue’s new ticket portal, pablo.tickets.pablocenter.org. 

20 Years Unplugged follows Daughtry’s release of “There and Back Again,” an 11-track collection of rerecorded versions of catalogue cornerstones including “It’s Not Over,” “Home,” “Over You” and more.

“The (20 Years Unplugged) format brings fans closer to the lyrics and stories threaded through two decades of Daughtry, connecting the catalogue that built the band with the heavier, more emotionally exposed music defining them today,” the release states.

Frontman Chris Daughtry rose to fame following his run on “American Idol” in 2006, finishing in fourth place. After the show, Daughtry was formed and released its self-titled debut album – making history as the fastest selling debut rock album in SoundScan history and becoming the top-selling album of 2007.

Since, Daughtry has gone on to earn four Grammy Award nominations, four American Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, among other accomplishments. 

Daughtry last played in the Chippewa Valley during Ashley for the Arts 2025, when the band headlined.
