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.

Iconic Metal legends Slaughter, Quiet Riot, and Stephen Pearcy of Ratt are teaming up for an epic night of Hard Rock and Metal music. The trio will co-headline a performance at 7:30pm on Friday, February 18, 2022, at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Tickets are $25 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.
As the founder, lead singer and songwriter of the Metal Rock band Ratt, Stephen Pearcy is credited with having been a pioneer of the early 80’s Sunset Strip Rock scene. Having led his creation to mega Multi-Platinum success year after year from 1984 to 1991. Capturing critical acclaim for his performance, style and uniquely salacious vocals. Pearcy formed Ratt in Los Angeles in 1982 from his previous band Mickey Ratt.
Known for their overtly sexual appearance, rebellious attitude and take no prisoner approach to Metal, Atlantic Records recognized Ratt’s potential and star power and signed the band to a contract. The deal resulted in the 1984 album, Out of the Cellar, which became one of many Multi-Platinum successes. Ratt climbed up the charts with singles from Out of the Cellar, soaring past Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy,” Van Halen’s “Panama,” Madonna’s “Borderline,” and David Bowie’s “Blue Jean.” Throughout Ratt’s nearly four decades of success with Pearcy at its helm, they released eight albums, and played thousands of shows worldwide all while selling more than 20 million records.
Slaughter has enjoyed plenty of success in the last three decades, including Multi-Platinum-selling records and an American Music Award. To date, the band has sold more than 5 million records worldwide, and have had many hits on the Billboard Hot 100 charts including “Up All Night,” and “Fly To The Angels.”
Quiet Riot continues its historic journey in 2021 per the wishes of former drummer Frankie Banali, who passed away in 2020, and the Banali estate. The band continues to play live and the lineup is composed of Quiet Riot veterans: Bassist Chuck Wright and Quiet Riot guitarist Alex Grossi from their most stable lineup. In 2019, the band welcomed the return of vocalist Jizzy Pearl and is now joined by drummer Jonny Kelly.
Quiet Riot is a Rock and Roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the Pop chart at No. 1 on Billboard magazine, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album, Metal Health. The album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the No. 1 spot and going platinum five times over in the process at that time. The sales of Metal Health have now exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide to date.
