Rocking the Honda Center: An Epic Night with Daughtry, Staind, and Breaking Benjamin

October 13, 2024 – A night full of nostalgia and energy took place at the Honda Center, where Breaking Benjamin, Staind, and Daughtry played for a packed crowd eager for rock music.

Daughtry: Starting the Show


Daughtry kicked off the night with a strong set, and Chris Daughtry’s powerful voice filled the arena. They opened with “The Reckoning,” setting the mood for an exciting performance. Fans enjoyed a mix of popular hits and deeper tracks, including an emotional acoustic version of “Home” that showed Daughtry’s vocal talent.

They performed strong renditions of “It’s Not Over,” “Over You,” and the touching “Heavy Is the Crown.” A special highlight was their cover of Journey’s “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart),” which got the crowd singing along. Their combination of upbeat songs like “Pieces” and the thoughtful “Artificial” kept everyone engaged throughout their set.

Staind: Coming Back Strong


Next was Staind, who received a warm welcome from the crowd. Frontman Aaron Lewis captured attention with his raw and heartfelt singing. Their set included favorites like “Outside” and “So Far Away,” where Lewis’s vocal skills truly shone.

The band switched between heavy songs like “Mudshovel” and more personal tracks such as “Here and Now” and “Better Days.” At one point, Lewis shared his political views and expressed his support for Donald Trump, which split the audience’s response—some cheered while others were surprised. This unexpected moment added an extra layer to their performance, showing how music and personal beliefs can connect in live shows.

As they wrapped up with “It’s Been Awhile” and “Mudshovel,” Staind left fans impressed with their strong performance and emotional depth.

They continued with popular tracks like “Evil Angel,” “Blow Me Away,” and “Follow.” A touching moment occurred when Burnley’s son joined him on stage to sing “Dance With the Devil.” This personal addition created a strong emotional bond with the audience.

As they moved through their set, Breaking Benjamin delivered powerful performances of “Crawl,” “Breath,” and “Polyamorous,” with fans singing along enthusiastically. The band reached an emotional peak with “Dear Agony,” and their last songs, “I Will Not Bow” and “The Diary of Jane,” left the crowd feeling euphoric.
