Daughtry goes unplugged at the Astro on Halloween night

The 20 Years Unplugged tour strips the band's arena-rock catalog down to acoustic arrangements, Saturday, Oct 31 in La Vista.

Most Halloween shows lean into the noise. Daughtry is going the other way. Tomorrow night, Saturday, Oct 31, the band plays The Astro Theater in La Vista on its 20 Years Unplugged tour, with the show at 8pm, tickets $66 to $166, and Buffalo singer-songwriter Ryan Perdz opening.

The idea behind the tour is right there in the name. When the band announced the run in June, the pitch was a stripped-back acoustic setting that reframes songs that have soundtracked arenas, rock radio milestones and some of the most defining moments of the band's career. The announcement tied the tour to the band's recent *Shock To The System (Deluxe)* release, so expect the newer material to sit alongside the older hits, all of it without the wall of guitars.

Hearing those choruses with the volume pulled back is the draw: it's the kind of setting where you find out how much of a song was the arrangement and how much was the song.

The fall leg opened Oct 12 at Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in upstate New York and runs through Nov 14 at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas. Omaha falls in the back half, coming off dates in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and heading to Des Moines on Sunday, Nov 1, then Kansas City on Nov 3. Perdz, a multi-instrumentalist, is on every show of the run.

If you can't make it tomorrow, there's a second chance coming, though not here yet. In September the band added a winter leg of 26 more dates, running Jan 23 to Mar 7, 2027, starting in Pine Bluff, Arkansas and ending at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Some of those shows are priced at $20 a ticket while supplies last. None of the announced winter dates are in Nebraska.

The Astro holds about 5,000, which is a lot of people for an acoustic set, and that's what makes this one interesting. Plenty of those choruses will be sung back at the stage louder than they're being played.

Tickets are on Ticketmaster. It's Halloween in La Vista, so traffic on the way in may be its own costume party.

You find out how much of a song was the arrangement and how much was the song.

Dress up if you want. Just leave room in the costume to sing along.
