The alt-rock band Daughtry has laid plans out for their US arena tour’s first leg. The trek will back “Leave This Town,” which was released last month.

The quintet based out of North Carolina will be hitting the road starting in Topeka, KS on October 19. They will be stopping in 36 city arenas across the country. The tour includes the supporting acts of Cavo and Theory of a Deadman. The tour will wind down in Evansville, IN on December 20.

Currently the band is in the midst of a theater and club run of 14 dates. It continues in Los Angeles on August 19 and will wrap up in Las Vegas on August 22. The August 18 show in Tempe, AZ was postponed due to namesake and frontman Chris Daughtry having viral laryngitis. The show in Phoenix was moved to October 13. According to the Twitter feed from Daughtry the Los Angeles show was still on as scheduled.

In a recently press release for the forthcoming arena dates Chris Daughtry said, we dreamed how it was going to feel to play our songs in front of packed arenas. We are so excited about getting our chance. We’ve planned a great show. I can’t wait for us to get on the road so we can share with our fans out there.

The second set from Daughtry, “Leave This Town,” is a follow up to the band’s self titled 2006 album. It debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s 200 chart. Currently it is in the No. 6 spot on Billboard’s top albums chart.

The first single of the new album, “No Surprise” was debuted in May on “American Idol.” The song peaked on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart at No. 15 and is streaming currently on the MySpace page for the band.
