Breaking Benjamin are no strangers to the upper echelons of the Rock charts. Since bursting onto the scene with 2002’s Saturate, the band has amassed an impressive string of mainstream Rock radio hits, with 10 songs hitting No. 1, numerous Platinum and multi-Platinum songs and albums, 8.5 billion combined streams worldwide and a social imprint of more than 6.5 million – a testament to the band’s global influence and loyal fan base.
Their most recent release, Aurora, gave Breaking Benjamin their 10th No. 1 song at Rock radio with “Far Away” featuring Scooter Ward. Breaking Benjamin’s last studio album, Ember, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and marked the multiplatinum band’s fourth Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200, following 2015’s No. 1 debut for Dark Before Dawn, 2009’s Dear Agony at No. 4 and 2006’s Phobia at No. 2. Ember spun off two No. 1 hits at Active Rock Radio with “Red Cold River” and “Torn in Two.”
Since forming in Pretoria, South Africa in 1999, Seether (Shaun Morgan, Dale Stewart, John Humphrey and Corey Lowery) has amassed a global fan base that has grown organically with purpose and commitment, offering their fans around the world camaraderie, comfort and a sense of personal power. Their impressive sales and chart history include three Platinum and two Gold albums, 22 No. 1 singles, 21 Top 5 multi-format hits, single sales topping 17 million, and more than 2 billion streams worldwide across all platforms. Seether is Billboard’s No. 8 All-Time Mainstream Rock artist, which covers the 40-year history of the chart’s existence. Their latest LP, Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum, was released last summer via Fantasy Records. A primal mix of euphoria and misery, the new album ranks among the strongest material of Seether’s illustrious career and includes the recent No. 1 singles “Dangerous,” “Bruised and Bloodied,” and “Wasteland.”
Starset returns with their fourth studio album, Horizons. A continued voyage through a captivating science fiction narrative, Horizons delivers a cinematic soundscape that accompanies the listener through pain, love, descent, and triumph. The world has been consumed by synthetic methods of escaping reality, and it is with this technology that we are able to explore life through other users’ experiences – finally, the ability to be someone else. Starset’s epic Hard Rock styling does not disappoint, as the listener travels through a newfound digital frontier along with them.

Tickets on sale Friday, February 18th
For the first time ever, award-winning Rock band Third Eye Blind will make their debut at Mohegan Sun Arena for one night as part of their “Summer Gods: 25 Years in the Blind” tour. Special guests Taking Back Sunday and Hockey Dad will join Third Eye Blind at 7:00pm on Thursday, July 21st at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Tickets are $35 and go on sale Friday, February 18th at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, February 19th, subject to availability.
“Twenty-five years of Third Eye Blind finds us feeling glorious as if everything is coming into deeper focus,” says lead singer Stephan Jenkins. “It’s not lost on us that this is a miracle, and that we are in it because of the new fans that keep discovering us and the people who, over the years, have made our music part of their culture.”
The upcoming Summer Gods tour will be supporting the restoration of a portion of the Palos Verdes Kelp Forest called the Blind Reef. Proceeds of each ticket will help our friends in the surf community at SeaTrees to restore the kelp ecosystem that sequesters carbon off the California Coast.
In some parts of the state, more than 90 percent of kelp forests have disappeared in the last 10 years, caused by the proliferation of invasive purple sea urchins that humans are unable to consume. Clearing “urchin barrens” allows rapidly growing kelp to regrow and re-establish into a healthy kelp forest, creating habitat for marine life and sequestering carbon emissions. The latest science shows that globally, kelp forests can sequester more carbon than mangrove forests – restoring these sequoias of the sea is critical to solving climate change as 93 percent of all carbon in the carbon cycle is stored in our oceans (meaning just 7 percent across our atmosphere and land biosphere).
The initiative is part of Third Eye Blind’s commitment to making the music touring climate more sustainable, a longstanding passion of the band’s frontman, Stephan Jenkins. Jenkins is an avid surfer and studied marine biology in college, working to restore kelp reefs at the age of 18. In addition to a portion of ticket sales supporting this cause, fans will also have the option to “buy” their own square foot of the Blind Reef amongst other offerings such as beach clean ups, limited edition merchandise, and meet and greets for donations that will bring us toward the completion of the Blind Reef.
“The Summer Gods tour always means to us outdoors in warm nights, music and collective joy. In that spirit, it is a treat to make it a whole day of music. We have been wanting to tour with Taking Back Sunday for several years now and Hockey Dad is essential listening on all of our playlists. It’s serendipitous that they will be able to join on the Third Eye Blind’s 25th anniversary. Twenty-five years prompts us to take stock of ourselves, so everyone should expect a comprehensive set list with all of the songs that meant the most to our fans from the last 25 years, as well as songs that are inspiring us now,” says Jenkins.
To celebrate, the band has collaborated with Smith & Cult to create a line of nail polishes in honor of their 25th Anniversary and named after songs on their six-time Platinum debut. The colors are named: Jumper, London, God Of Wine, Semi-Charmed, and The Background. They are donating 100 percent of the proceeds from the Shade Jumper to True Colors United, the non-profit founded by Cyndi Lauper that implements innovative solutions to youth homelessness that focus on the unique experiences of the LGBTQ youth.
Third Eye Blind’s latest album, Our Bande Apart, is out now.
