The Aug. 21 show will be headlined by Daughtry, which in 2007 released the best-selling debut rock album in Soundscan history. Since then, the band – led by “American Idol” star Chris Daughtry – has released two more studio albums and currently is working on a fourth.
Alt-rock’s Lifehouse has sold more than 15 million albums since 2000, with its most recent single, “Between the Raindrops” (recorded with Natasha Bedingfield) reaching No. 79 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park, by calling 616-784-4131 or online at fifththirdballpark.com; get details by visiting Rock the Rapids’ official website at rocktherapids.org.
Festival organizers previously had announced that veteran rockers ZZ Top, along with blues-rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd, would play the third day of the festival, which is moving back to Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park after two years in downtown Grand Rapids. (ZZ Top also is playing eight straight dates with Kid Rock at DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston in August.)
The first day’s lineup has not yet been announced.
Last year’s six-day event on parking lots behind Van Andel Arena drew about 40,000 people for concerts by Miranda Lambert, Toby Keith, Shinedown, Evanescence, Boyz II Men and B.o.B.
The 2013 edition of Rock The Rapids is presented by Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort and sponsored in part by Auto Value, Pepsi, Rockstar, Riverfront Inn, Xtreme Demolition, AdMark, Elite Disposal and Great Lake Wine & Spirits.
