Aldean is wrapping up his 2015 BURN IT DOWN TOUR, which has been praised by critics all year long as he “ushers in the era of the new Country star; he’s equal parts Rock star, sensitive balladeer and wild-eyed backroads guide” (Billboard). Capacity crowds and triumphant stadium shows have been a common denominator as fans “loved it from start to finish” (Toronto Sun) and were “burned by fiery guitar licks and Aldean’s brand of smoking hot Country” (Arizona Republic). Aldean has sold more than 10 million albums, with each release being certified platinum or better. His “most ambitious album to date” (Associated Press) OLD BOOTS NEW DIRT was the first Country album released and certified platinum in 2014 and has yielded three consecutive #1s marking Aldean’s 16th career chart-topper. It is currently nominated for “Album of the Year” at the approaching CMA Awards as well as “Favorite Country Album” at the upcoming AMA’s where he also nabbed a “Favorite Country Male Artist“ nod.
Mohegan Sun Arena is now ranked consistently among the top venues in the world according to Billboard Magazine, Pollstar and Venues Today. It has won “Casino of The Year” at the Country Music Awards in 2008 & 2010 and in 2013, was voted “Arena Of The Year” at the G2E Global Gaming Conference in Las Vegas.
