Staind Returns To Mohegan Sun Arena

Live in Mohegan Sun Arena on November 25th at 8:00pm

In support of their latest album, that was released last month, Staind will bring their hits to Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, November 25th at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $30.00 and go on sale Friday, October 14th 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, October 15th, subject to availability.
Staind dove into bleaker recesses than ever before and surfaced with their heaviest and most hypnotic album to date, Staind, their self-titled, seventh studio album. The multi-platinum Massachusetts Hard Rock outfit—Aaron Lewis, Mike Mushok and Johnny “Old School” April—pushed itself to the very brink. There was struggle and strife, but, as a result, Staind constructed a collection of chaotically melodic songs that hearken back to their 1999 major label debut, Dysfunction, while wielding an instrumental and lyrical prowess that could only be cultivated by 16 years of writing, recording and touring together.  
Along the way, the band forged a melodic musical maelstrom that served as solace for fans of all ages. They sold 15 million albums worldwide, had eight top ten singles across multiple formats with three songs hitting number one and wrote the most-played Rock song of the past decade, “It’s Been Awhile.” 
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 and 2010 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.  For information on this week’s schedule, call the Entertainment and Special Events hotline at 1.888.226.7711, ext. 27163.

ABOUT BUDDY:  For Buddy Valastro, 34, mixing eggs, sugar, butter and flour means a lot more than “making a cake.” As a fourth generation baker, it’s a constant source of pleasure, pride and creativity. Creating amazing cakes connects Buddy with the memory of his father Buddy Sr. and his extended Italian family history. His talent and passion for the family business, Carlo’s Bakery, has earned the straight-talking cake expert the moniker and TV show, Cake Boss. In December 2010, the spin-off series, Cake Boss: Next Great Baker premiered where Buddy challenged bakers from around the country to compete for a chance to work alongside the Valastro family at Carlo’s. Proven he’s a master when it comes to sweets, in Buddy’s third show, Kitchen Boss, he welcomes viewers into his kitchen to demonstrate he’s just as skilled at savory items, preparing his family favorite Italian recipes. Following the launch of his best-selling first book, Cake Boss, Stories and Recipes from Mia Famiglia (Free Press, Nov. 2010), Buddy continues to bring the pages of stories and tips to life on stage via his highly successful Bakin’ with The Boss Tour, and will be releasing a how-to book, Baking with the Cake Boss: 100 of Buddy’s Best Recipes and Decorating Secrets (Free Press, Nov 1, 2011). To give Cake Boss fans a real taste for what Carlo’s can offer, Buddy is building a 50,000 square-foot baking facility in Jersey City that will allow him to fulfill one of his (and his father’s) life long dreams – to ship his product across the country.
