Mohegan Sun Arena continues to build on a decade of excellence as one of the top venues across the globe
For the first time ever, Mohegan Sun Arena has earned the prestigious honor of No. 1 Indoor Arena in the world for its size (5,001 – 10,000-seat capacity) based on ticket sales. National industry trade publications, Pollstar and VenuesNow, announced the rankings in their 2021 Year End Special issues, which report the top-selling tours and top venues across the globe. Additionally, Mohegan Sun Arena finished the year ranked as the No. 10 venue overall in the U.S. and the No. 11 spot in the world regardless of size.
Pollstar also released its year-end Top 100 Tours chart by worldwide ticket sales. In 2021, Mohegan Sun Arena hosted two tours in the top five (No. 1 Harry Styles, No. 4 Dave Matthews Band) and three additional tours in the top 30 (No. 23 Dan + Shay, No. 27 Machine Gun Kelly, No. 30 Sebastian Maniscalco).

Mohegan Tribe Partners with State Department of Public Health and Local Health Community Centers to Host Vaccination Clinics
Mohegan Sun, Griffin Health, and Uncas Health District to begin vaccination clinics at the casino on Wednesday
UNCASVILLE, CT (December 14, 2021) — In their continued efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mohegan Tribe is partnering with the Connecticut Department of Public Health, Griffin Health, and the Uncas Health District to host free vaccination clinics for Connecticut residents. The clinics are beginning as Connecticut’s daily COVID positivity figures have once again topped eight percent, and the state has now reported multiple cases of the Omicron variant.
The walk-in clinics will take place every Wednesday starting December 15 through January 5, 2022, from 10:00am to 4:00pm at Mohegan Sun’s Seasons Buffet in Casino of the Earth. On Monday, December 20 from 9:30am to 12:30pm, Uncas Health District will host their clinic at the Seasons Buffet. Primary shots and boosters will be available to all eligible age groups.
Governor Lamont and state health officials have been consistent in urging residents to get the vaccine and to receive their booster shot if more than six months have passed since their first two doses. The Department of Health reported those who remain unvaccinated are five times more likely to test positive for COVID-19 and have a 16 times greater risk of dying of the disease.
“Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mohegan Tribe has worked to positively impact the health of not only our Tribal members, but our Connecticut neighbors as well,” said James Gessner Jr., Chairman of the Mohegan Tribe. “Those efforts have included extensive health and safety measures for our employees and guests, as well as key partnerships to help improve access to COVID testing and vaccines. These new clinics with the State of Connecticut, Griffin Health, and the Uncas Health District are another important step in that work.”
The following are dates and times for the vaccination clinics being hosted at Mohegan Sun:
CT Department of Public Health/Griffin Health Clinics

- Wednesday, December 22nd: 10:00am – 4:00pm

Shinedown will take the stage with special guests The Pretty Reckless and Diamante
Multi-platinum, record-breaking band Shinedown returns to Mohegan Sun Arena with special guests The Pretty Reckless and Diamante at 7:30pm on Saturday, April 16, 2022.
Tickets are $69, $59 and $49 and go on sale Friday, December 17th at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, December 18th, subject to availability.
Shinedown – Brent Smith (vocals), Zach Myers (guitar), Eric Bass, (bass, production), and Barry Kerch (drums) – has sold more than 10 million albums and 10 million singles worldwide, earned 14 Platinum and Gold singles, six Platinum and Gold albums, 17 No. 1 Active Rock hits, and amassed more than 4.5 billion total streams. They were recently named No. 1 on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Mainstream Rock Artists Chart after totaling 16 No. 1 singles on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart – the most in the history of the Billboard chart. Each of Shinedown’s 27 charting singles on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs Chart has reached the Top 5 – an unparalleled achievement – and they hold the record for most Top 5 singles ever on this chart.
Shinedown’s 2018 record-breaking studio album Attention Attention (Atlantic Records), recently certified Gold by the RIAA, has been turned into an enthralling sonic and visual experience. The feature film, released in September by Gravtias Venures, is available for viewing on digital and cable viewing on-demand, Blu-ray and DVD.
Hailed for their high-octane live shows, explosive rock ‘n’ roll spirit, thought-provoking lyrics, and melodic sensibility, Shinedown continues to engender diehard love from millions of global fans and has racked up countless sold-out arena tours and festival headlining sets backed by their biggest, most eye-popping production yet, and propelled by the undeniable power of front man Brent Smith’s voice.
The Pretty Reckless—Taylor Momsen (Vocals), Ben Phillips (Guitar), Jamie Perkins (drums), and Mark Damon (bass)—are truly a rock and roll band, as evidenced by their 2021-released fourth album Death By Rock And Roll (Fearless Records). The critically-acclaimed record landed at No. 1 on multiple sales charts, including Billboard’s Top Albums, Rock, Hard Music, and Digital Charts, upon release.
With iridescent sapphire hair, a show-stopping voice, runway-ready fashion swagger, and an empowering message, Diamante brings a new (and blue) fire to Rock and Alternative music. Her full-length album debut, Coming in Hot, undeniably stormed the scene in 2018 with a No. 1 song at Rock radio (her collaboration of “Hear Me Now” with Bad Wolves), along with a top 15 song with her own single “Haunted.” Her sophomore album, American Dream, shows exponential growth from Coming in Hot sonically and in its raw authenticity, proving now more than ever that Diamante’s fearlessness to bear her soul in her music is what truly sets her apart.
Mohegan Sun Arena is now ranked consistently among the top venues in the world according to Billboard Magazine, Pollstar and VenuesNow. Mohegan Sun Arena is consistently ranked among the top three “Arenas in the World for its Size” and top 15 in the “World for All Size Venues.” The award – winning venue is the “#1 Casino Venue in the World,” “#1 Social Media Venue in the World” and a seven – time national award – winner for “Arena of the Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events, visit Mohegan Sun.

“We’re really excited to be back on the road, joining up again with Hollywood Undead and Bad Wolves,” the chart-topping band shares. “Both bands bring deep catalogues and killer live shows. It’ll be a non-stop Rock N Roll thrill ride start to finish.”
Papa Roach has capped another fruitful year in 2021, after celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark album INFEST last year. Throughout the year, the iconic band has teased three new tracks from their forthcoming new album, which is expected for release early next year. The first track released to radio, “Kill The Noise,” just completed a four-week run at No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Charts. This follows “The Ending,” which peaked at No. 1 earlier this year (giving Papa Roach their ninth No. 1 single and mind-blowing, 20th Top 5 single to date).
This year also marks the band’s third Grammy nomination for the remix of “Born For Greatness (CYMEX Remix)” by Spencer Bastian, and the relaunch of the band’s own label, New Noize Records, in partnership with ADA Worldwide (WMG’s independent label and artist services arm). Capping the year off, the partnership has already achieved 100 million streams to date.
