‘Idol’ Season 4 also-ran to perform at Tulalip Amphitheatre
Published 1:30 am Friday, August 5, 2016
One of the most successful losers of all time is heading to Snohomish County.
Chris Daughtry, who failed to clinch a victory on season four of “American Idol,” will play the Tulalip Amphitheatre at 7 tonight.
Daughtry joins a short list of contestants on the once-popular TV singing contest who became popular despite not clinching a win. Alongside Jennifer Hudson, the bald-headed rock star turned a loss into millions of dollars. His albums have gone platinum and even topped the Billboard 200.
Fans can expect to hear past hits like “Over You” and “Waiting for Superman” during his stop at Tulalip, alongside, potentially, some new material. The singer has been teasing fans with the possibility of a fifth album soon.
Tickets are $45 to $85 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745- 3000.
Marymoor Park also will continue its summer concert series as it welcomes Rebelution. The reggae rockers are headed to the outdoor amphitheater for a show starting at 5:20 tonight.
The good-natured act, known for its beach-friendly vibe, formed in 2004 in Santa Barbara, California. Now more than a decade into its career, the group is touring behind “Falling into Place,” another collection of warm, Jamaican-tinged pop.

The Watershed Festival will continue at the Gorge this coming weekend as well, with the superstar country event drawing crowds from today through Aug. 7.
The second weekend of the festival features a slightly diminished line-up, with the most notable absence being Keith Urban, who isn’t playing a set.
Nonetheless, many of the festival’s tent pole acts are returning, including Jason Aldean, Eric Church and Kacey Musgraves. Additionally, this weekend will feature country great Travis Tritt.
Tickets are $199 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745- 3000.
Slipknot and Marilyn Manson will finally make it to the White River Amphitheatre for a show at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 11.
The pair had originally planned to visit the Northwest in June, but postponed after Slipknot front man Corey Taylor was forced to have spinal surgery.
The two hard rock acts have plenty in common. Both are known for their over-the-top horror-show theatricality. Both gained famed in the 1990s. Both came out of the Midwest — Slipknot’s from Iowa and Marilyn Manson grew up in Ohio. And both remain popular draws to this day.
Tickets are $30 to $72 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745- 3000.
The Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, meanwhile, will welcome a pair of famed names to its outdoor amphitheater in the coming week.

Tickets, if any remain, are $125 at ticketmaster.com or 800-745- 3000.

Wolf Parade is back on the prowl, as the acclaimed indie rock act continues its successful reunion after a lengthy hiatus.
