One of the top acts in Country will play in the Arena on August 17th
In support of his latest album CHIEF, Eric Church with special guest Robert Earl Keen will bring the Eric Church: The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour to Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, August 17th at 7:30pm.

Revolution has cast a spark in mainstream Country music and outlaw rebel Eric Church is to blame. Since the release of his first album Sinners Like Me, Church has led his pack one-by-one through retrospective songwriting, invigorating live shows and a hard-boiled attitude soaked in blood and sweat, and ice cold beers. Perhaps that’s why his recent #1 single “Drink In My Hand,” has accomplished RIAA Gold certification and his first headlining arena tour, aptly titled Eric Church: The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour, is experiencing record-breaking sales and prompting rave critical reviews. Moreover, there’s no doubt since the release of his ground-breaking third album CHIEF, his tenacious tribe of disciples is demanding the world’s help in catapulting their ‘chief’ of Country music from smoky barroom songster to headlining arena superstar.

Everclear, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Lit and Marcy Playground perform live in the Arena on July 29th
As music fans across New England shake off the last vestiges of winter, the first-ever Summerland Tour will make its way to Mohegan Sun. The tour, which is anchored by founding bands Everclear, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Lit and Marcy Playground will make its way to Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, July 29th at 7:00pm.

With hits like the modern rock radio staples “Santa Monica,” “Everything to Everyone,” “I Will Buy You a New Life,” “Father of Mine” and “Wonderful,” Everclear has sold more than 9 Million albums globally. Fronted by Art Alexakis, Everclear remains a potent force on the touring circuit. The band is currently in the studio in Los Angeles working on their first original album in 6 years, which will be released in time for the Summerland tour.
Perhaps best known for their 1997 breakthrough Number One song “Fly,” Sugar Ray dominated the pop charts throughout the 90s with such hits as “Every Morning,” “Someday,” and the 2001 hit “When It’s Over.” These hugely successful tracks propelled Sugar Ray and their charismatic lead singer Mark McGrath, to selling 10 Million records worldwide.
Fans around the world are very familiar with Gin Blossoms’ five-time Platinum breakthrough album New Miserable Experience, containing gems like “Until I Fall Away,” “Found Out About You,” “Hey Jealousy” and “Alison Road.” Those hit tracks were followed up by Empire Records Platinum Soundtrack hit, “Til I Hear It From you,” and in 1996, by the singles “Follow you Down” and “As Long As It Matters,” which hit the radio in a big way, making their Congratulations I’m Sorry record another platinum success. Gin Blossoms hits have crossed over in 5 different formats, taking the airwaves by siege, and holding MTV hostage for a good portion of the 90s. The band continues to burn up the road performing over 120 tour dates per year.
Lit’s first new album in 8 years, The View From The Bottom, is scheduled for release on June 19th and is the band’s first album since the passing of founding member and drummer Allen Shellenberger. Lit first broke through in 1999 with their album A Place In The Sun, which spawned the Number One modern rock song of the year, “My Own Worst Enemy,” and the Top Ten single “Miserable.” Since then the band has been a fixture on the radio and on the road all over the world.
Marcy Playground’s 1997 hit, “Sex and Candy,” is one of the most iconic hit songs of the era. Since then they have toured consistently and released several additional albums including 2010’s remix album Indaba Remixes from Wonderland.

This special Pawn Stars edition of Reality Check will take place in The Shops at Mohegan Sun and will start with a question & answer session at 2:00pm followed by a signing event at 2:30pm. The whole event comes at a bargain as it’s completely free and open to the public!
*Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to time restrictions, only specified merchandise will be signed. Because of the popularity of this event, the signing will be bracelet-only. Bracelets will be distributed starting at 1:00pm on Saturday, April 21st on a first-come, first-served basis at the signing stage in The Shops concourse and must be worn in order to gain entrance into this autograph-only event. Please note that the Pawn Stars will not be purchasing pawn items or evaluating guests’ merchandise.

The Shops at Mohegan Sun
IN DETAIL: Presented by The Shops at Mohegan Sun, Reality Check is an exciting and interactive event that brings the best and brightest stars from the reality TV world to Mohegan Sun. Reality Check events provide fans with the ultimate exposure to their favorite reality stars with engaging, live exhibitions in The Shops at Mohegan Sun followed by intimate signing events. Events are free and open to all ages.
ABOUT COREY: Corey Harrison began working at the pawn shop when he was 9. Expertly trained in the art of appraisal, Corey not only has the brains to spot a cheat, he has the brawn to back it up. He is not afraid to throw his muscle around, especially when it comes to protecting his family. He also handles everything when it comes to hiring and firing employees and managing eBay clients. His father, Rick believes that Corey, who is oftentimes treated like a slave, needs to earn his keep. Without a real stake in the business, Corey is hoping that all his hard work pays off.
ABOUT CHUMLEE: As Corey’s devoted childhood friend, Chumlee is just like a son to Corey’s father Rick and he’s been around the shop since he was a kid. Everybody loves Chum, but he is often the butt of the boys’ jokes. Part of the reason he isn’t taken seriously is that he constantly begs Corey to buy items that entertain him, like video games and circus paraphernalia, that usually don’t make good business sense. And, although his heart of gold makes him a pro at customer service, it’s continually proven to be bad business for the shop. Chumlee always wants to give his patrons the best deal and often takes their side, a triat that never fails to push Rick’s button. Where did Chumlee get his nickname? Friends in elementary school took the name from cartoon character Tennessee Tuxedo’s sidekick, a walrus named Chumley.
