LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Daughtry announces it will launch a 36-date U.S. arena tour this fall to support the group's new studio album, LEAVE THIS TOWN.

The tour announcement happens while LEAVE THIS TOWN continues its impressive streak of success. The album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, has sold more than a half million copies in five weeks. The album's first single, "No Surprise," tops No. 1 on the Hot A/C chart this week.

After finishing a sold out club tour this month, Chris Daughtry says the band is busy preparing for its upcoming arena tour.

"We have a great show planned and can't wait to hit the road to share it with our fans."

LEAVE THIS TOWN is Daughtry's first album to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 and its second consecutive No. 1 album, selling 269,299 copies sold in its first week of release.
