Mohegan Sun’s Hunting Moon ale will be served at: RaceBook Bar, The Hall of the Lost Tribes Bar, Cove Bar, Lodge Bar, The Racebook, Harvest Moon Bar, the inside bar of Todd English’s Tuscany, Leffingwells Martini Bar and the East Wind Bar. Mohegan Sun’s Sachem Ale and Mohegan Lager are on-tap 365 days a year at the same locations.

Rob Zombie’s “Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour” Rocks Mohegan Sun

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Show is Thursday, December 3rd, tickets on sale September 18th

The hellbilly returns! The master of monster mayhem Rob Zombie will be live at Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, December 3rd at 7:00pm with his “Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour.” Not since 1998’s super smash triple- platinum Hellbilly Deluxe has Zombie hit the road under that moniker. So get ready to scream!

Tickets for the event are $35.00 and go on sale Friday, September 18th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.  Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge by Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet.  Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, September 19th, subject to availability.

This will be Zombie’s first headline tour since 2007 and will have other ghoulish delights in tow including openers Nekromantix and Captain Clegg & the Night Creatures last seen rocking Haddonfield and Michael Myers in Zombie’s new film Halloween II. The tour will usher in Zombie’s forthcoming album Hellbilly Deluxe 2 – Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls and the Systematic Dehumanization of Cool (Geffen), a companion to the 1998 original.

The tour is hosted by Uncle Seymour Coffins, seen recently in Halloween II. Zombie will be accompanied by his longtime band mates — guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D. and drummer Tommy Clufetos.

The “Hellbilly Deluxe 2 World Tour” will mark Zombie’s return to the road after much box office success as the writer and director of Halloween II (Dimension). His R-rated, animated feature, The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto, will also be available everywhere on DVD and Blu-ray September 22nd.

“I am bouncing off the walls like a mental patient,” says Zombie. “That tells me it’s time to take it to the stage and let the demons loose.”

Selling over fifteen million albums worldwide, Zombie is one of Geffen Records’ top selling and longest running artists on the label. He has written and directed five feature length films, directed dozens of high profile music videos, contributed recordings to multiple soundtracks and authored several comic books. Halloween II (2009) took hold of the box office recently, following-up his record breaking blockbuster re-imagining of Halloween in 2007. In 2005, Zombie assaulted the film world with the critically-acclaimed The Devil’s Rejects (Lionsgate), the follow-up to his already cult classic House Of 1,000 Corpses (Lionsgate 2004).
