What started out in the early 60s as a garage band in southern California has now evolved into a solid piece of Rock and Roll history. In 1988, The Beach Boys were among the names inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the group claimed a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. This special show will feature The Beach Boys performing everyone’s favorite Christmas classics.
Kenny Rogers is a prolific performer who has produced over seventy hit singles spanning multiple genres and charts. His awards and accolades form a lengthy list and cover over five decades. He has recorded over sixty-five albums, sold over 120 million albums and is considered the 8th best-selling artist of all time. Rogers’ Christmas & Hits Tour will encompass a variety of his Country hits as well as classic Christmas favorites.
There are many traditions throughout the holiday season, but none as magical as the Holiday Pops. This year, Keith Lockhart and the orchestra welcome the vocal virtuosity of the extraordinary Swingle Singers, a group whose name has become synonymous with flawless excellence and high-level entertainment since their ground breaking debut album Jazz Sebastian Bach in 1963. The current line up of young, gorgeous and talented singers is, of course, several incarnations from the original team – Ward Swingle affectionately refers to them as his “grandchildren” – however the sound remains unmistakably Swingle. The concert also features a special visit from Jolly Ole’ St. Nick and a time-honored audience sing along.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.

SUMMERZCOOL TOUR 2009
Saturday, November 21, 2009
To the delight of Parrotheads Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band return to Mohegan Sun Arena on 
Saturday, November 21st. The show begins at 8:00pm.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, October 3rd 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 Sunday, October 4th, subject to availability. There is a six-ticket limit per customer.
Jimmy’s upcoming album, Buffet Hotel (one t), is scheduled for release in December. The title cut has a strong West African influence and was conceived during a trip to the “Festival In The Desert,” a music festival that takes place annually near Timbuktu, Mali. “It was one of the best musical experiences of my life,” said Jimmy. It was there that Jimmy ran across the Buffet Hotel, an old colonial era train station/hotel which was the venue for the music scene that exploded in Mali after its independence in 1960.
After Jimmy started writing for Buffet Hotel, he decided to introduce three of the new songs into his 2009 set list. The three were “Summerzcool,” the quintessential beach song, which also became the tour name, “A Lot To Drink About,” a commentary on current events, and “Surfin’ In A Hurricane,” the first surf song Jimmy has ever written.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” For more information on Jimmy Buffett and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.

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).
