Last summer as well as fall the band spent over three months out on the road for the tour’s first leg. Daughtry returns for part two, kicking things off in Baltimore, MD on March 18. The trek will cover over 50 cities and will conclude in Rochester, NY on June 19.

According to Daughtry’s camp, tickets for the remaining dates are set to go on sale on January 30 or February 6.

Chris Daughtry, namesake and leader of the band referring to the upcoming dates said, when you are growing up what you always dream about is singing a song of yours in front of a full house. When we are playing I still do get chills when the crowd is singing our songs louder than us.

“Leave This Town,” is the sophomore set from Daughtry and follows their self-titled album of 2006. According to data from Nielsen SoundScan, the new album debuted at the top of Billboard’s 200 and during the first week that the album was released sold 269,000 copies.
