Dallas: Daughtry: 20 Years Unplugged at the Majestic Theatre

Chris Daughtry brings his “20 Years Unplugged” acoustic tour to the Majestic Theatre in downtown Dallas on Saturday, November 14, marking two decades since his breakout on “American Idol.”

Daughtry finished fourth on “American Idol” Season 5 in 2006, but his post-show career quickly outpaced most of the winners from that era — his self-titled debut album with his band Daughtry became one of the best-selling debut rock albums in Nielsen SoundScan history, powered by hits like “It’s Not Over” and “Home.” The band has continued to chart across five studio albums since, and this stripped-down acoustic tour reworks two decades of arena-rock hits into a more intimate, unplugged format built for a seated theater rather than the band’s usual amphitheater production.

The Majestic Theatre has anchored downtown Dallas since it opened in April 1921, a Renaissance Revival vaudeville palace designed by architect John Eberson for showman Karl Hoblitzelle, complete with an atmospheric ceiling meant to evoke a starlit sky. It closed as a movie house in 1973, was donated to the City of Dallas in 1976, and reopened after restoration in 1983 as a performing-arts venue that the city still owns and operates today. The 1,570-seat theater keeps its five-story marble lobby and ornate cage elevator intact. Read more on its Texas Music Map venue page. Being a fully seated theater, every ticket here comes with an actual seat rather than standing room.

An acoustic-format show gives longtime fans a rare chance to hear “It’s Not Over” and other arena staples reworked and stripped down, a different experience than Daughtry’s usual full-band amphitheater tours.

Doors typically open about an hour ahead of the show, with downtown Dallas parking garages nearby. Fans planning the night out should check current showtimes and any last-minute schedule updates directly with the venue before heading over.
