If the past eight years had been truly amazing, the success was to be eclipsed upon the release of Bublé’s 4th CD, Crazy Love in 2009. The album debuted at #2 on Billboard and in the second week, hit #1 in addition to achieving #1 status in both Canada and Australia. It would become Michael’s fastest- selling album, until October of 2011 when Bublé’s studio album, Christmas rose to the top of the charts in over 20 countries, selling over 7 million and earning him a Juno for “Album of the Year.”
In 2013 with the release of To Be Loved, his 6th release, Michael Bublé has reached a new level of success. The disc has to date, achieved #1 status in 11 countries, was top 10 in 14 counties and received a Grammy Award for “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album”. His world tour began that summer with an unprecedented 10 sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena.
To date, Bublé has won 4 Grammy’s, 11 Juno’s, a Gemini for “Best Performance or Host in a Variety Program” and 7 Smooth Jazz Awards. He has three DVD’s to his credit and starred in his first NBC Network special. In 2010, he performed at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin before 100,000 fans – his biggest audience to date. In 2013, Michael hosted the Juno Awards. The show brought in an audience of 2 million, up by 34% over the previous year and garnered him a Canadian Screen Award for “Best Host in a Variety or Talk Program.” Michael is a strong supporter of the BC’s Children’s Hospital and the co- owner of the Vancouver Giants, a
minor league hockey team.
It has been a meteoric rise and remarkable journey for Michael Bublé – and the story just keeps getting better!

Show slated for Saturday, July 5th; Tickets on-sale Friday, March 28th
UNCASVILLE, CT (March 24, 2014) – Mohegan Sun Arena is set to welcome Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Mellencamp for a Saturday, July 5th performance, beginning at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $49.50 and go on sale Friday, March 28th through Ticketmaster at 10:00am. 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, March 29th subject to availability.
John Mellencamp’s career in music, spanning more than 35 years, has seen him transition from pop star to one of the most highly regarded songwriters of a generation. He went on to release 26 albums with domestic sales exceeding 40 million units and amassed 22 Top 40 hits. A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, he has been nominated for 13 Grammys, was recipient of Billboard’s Century Award, ASCAP Foundation’s Champion Award, The Woody Guthrie Award, Q’s Classic Songwriter Award, Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award and, most recently, the John Steinbeck Award. The social activism reflected in his songs helped catalyze Farm Aid, the concert series and organization that has addressed the struggle of American family farmers for more than 25 years. The unique instrumentation of his band and overall approach is widely credited with being the forbear of the Americana/No Depression genre of rural-inflected music.
Mellencamp’s show is powered by a catalog of thought-provoking material that includes the autobiographical “Small Town,” “Jack & Diane,” “Lonely Ol’ Night,” “Crumblin’ Down,” “The Authority Song,” “Rain On The Scarecrow,” plus “Paper in Fire,” “Check It Out,” to name just a few. All of those plus the inclusion of roots-oriented music from his recent T Bone Burnett-produced No Better Than This album makes a John Mellencamp concert a singularly authentic experience.
Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked 3rd in the U.S. and 5th in the world by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 and 2010 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” Venues Today also ranked Mohegan Sun Arena #3 in the Nation and #3 in the World for top stops in 2013 and also ranked the Arena in the top six of “Top Stops of The Decade” in 2012.

Tickets for the newly added date on sale beginning Saturday, March 29th through the Live Nation mobile app, livenation.com and mohegansun.com
Due to overwhelming demand, a second show in Uncasville, CT has been added to the Queen + Adam Lambert summer tour. Brian May, Roger Taylor + Adam Lambert will play Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, July 25th for an 8:00pm show. The 24-date tour, which is presented by Live Nation, now wraps on Monday, July 28th in Toronto.
Tickets are $99.50 and $79.50 and go on sale Saturday, March 29th through Ticketmaster at 10:00am. 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 Sunday, March 30th subject to availability. More details are available at mohegansun.com/entertainment as well.
A Facebook pre-sale will begin on Wednesday, March 26th at 10:00am local time. Tickets for the previously announced dates are on sale now.
Queen + Adam Lambert received glowing reviews for their performance together at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas last September, triggering a conversation between Adam, Roger and Brian to take the show on the road. Rolling Stone said, “Lambert astounded the audience on songs like ‘We Will Rock You’ and the closing ‘We Are The
Champions’ and ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’. It was the most anticipated act of the night.” Billboard claimed, “…Queen effectively stole the show, with timeless songs that music fans of all genres can sing along to” and the Hollywood Reporter exclaimed, “Adam Lambert, Queen bring down the iHeart house. With the perfect mix of rock attitude mixed with style, theatricality, sex appeal and impressive vocal gymnastics, [Lambert] took the band’s music to new heights.”
The threesome first shared the stage during American Idol in May 2009 for a performance of “We Are The Champions”. They teamed up again in 2011 at the MTV European Music Awards in Belfast, Ireland for an electrifying eight-minute finale of “The Show Must Go On”, “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions” and in the summer of 2012, Lambert performed a series of shows with Queen across Europe as well as dates in Russia, Ukraine and Poland. They also performed three sold-out gigs at London’s Hammersmith Apollo.
“Let’s ROCK those beautiful arenas JUST ONE MORE TIME!” said Brian May. “I’m completely in awe of the Queen phenomenon,” added Lambert. “The thought of sharing the stage for a full set in North America is so beautifully surreal. I’m honored to be able to pay my respects to Freddie’s memory; he’s a personal hero of mine, and I am deeply grateful for the chance to sing such powerful music for fans of this legendary band. I know this tour will be a huge milestone for me, and with the support of Brian, Roger and the rest of the band, I feel like magic will be on display.”
In a career spanning over 40 years Queen has amassed a staggering list of sales, awards, and hall of fame inductions that is second to none. Record sales in the hundreds of millions of units, including an unprecedented string of number one albums and top-charting singles that continue to put Queen in the top ten of all-time iTunes sales, seven Ivor Novello Awards, an MTV Global Icon Award, two songs enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame – “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” – which also remain the most played songs at sports events and arenas around the world, and, as if to qualify all of hyperbole, just last month Queen received the accolade of becoming the first artist ever to sell over six million copies of an album in the UK – beating out even the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper by close to a million copies – with their Greatest Hits album, which also achieved the record of over 1,422 weeks on the British album chart. The statistics show a staggering one in three British households
now own a copy of the iconic act’s original Greatest Hits collection. Even with the tragic loss of their uniquely talented singer Freddie Mercury, Queen remain one of the most revered bands in Rock and Pop history, able to claim one of the most enduring song catalogues of all time. Just think: “Bohemian Rhapsody”, “Another One Bites the Dust”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “Radio Ga Ga”, “Killer Queen”, “Fat Bottomed Girls”, “Bicycle Race”, songs that form the backdrop to the lives of generations of fans across all ages. With their sterling song craft, virtuoso musicality, and colossal spectacle of their live performances, Queen – Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon – captured hearts and conquered charts like no other band in history, a legacy that continues to live through the ongoing work and concert performances by May and Taylor. Their musical We Will Rock You, co-created with writer Ben Elton, is approaching its 12th year on stage in London’s West End and is currently touring North America.
Adam Lambert’s stunning performances on the eighth season of American Idol are still widely regarded as some of the most riveting moments in the show’s history. His debut album For Your Entertainment earned him a Grammy Award nomination for “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.” His second album, Trespassing, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. The subsequent tour took Lambert from Australia to South Africa, throughout Asia and Eastern Europe and culminated in a sold-out arena show in Helsinki, Finland. In 2013, Lambert appeared as a guest star on the hit TV series, GLEE. He is currently writing and recording for his third album, which will be released this year.
