Earlier this month, in celebration of the one-year anniversary of the release of her album Demi, Lovato launched a social media storm with her #DEMIVERSARY campaign. After a temporary black out of all her social networking sites, Demi’s fans (the self-titled
“Lovatics”) quickly decoded the message of the #DEMIVERSARY and caused numerous worldwide social media trends. The Demi album has yielded the hit singles “Heart Attack” and “Neon Lights” and sold over 5 million tracks globally.
The #DEMIVERSARY celebration has featured a host of new content. VEVO debuted video footage from Demi’s Neon Lights Tour. Spotify offered a worldwide stream of five songs recorded in London last year and a video previously available only on Demi’s iBook for her poignant ballad “In Case,” which went live on VEVO. VEVO also debuted the lyric video for Demi’s sassy, up-tempo new single, “Really Don’t Care,” that has already amassed nearly 4 million views.
In support of the #DEMIVERSARY and her new single, “Really Don’t Care,” Demi will be performing on Good Morning America on June 6th and appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers on June 4th.

Legend’s current tour, “An Evening with John Legend: The All of Me Tour,” wraps June 28th in Woodinville, WA and features John in an intimate and acoustic setting, highlighted by guitar/vocal accompaniment as well as a string quartet. In a recent review, Billboard hailed the show as “one of the best concerts ever.”
Ohio-born John Legend is a critically acclaimed, multi-award winning, platinum-selling singer-songwriter. He’s sold an impressive seven million albums worldwide. His work has garnered him nine Grammy Awards, three Soul Train Awards, the BET Award for “Best New Artist” and the special “Starlight Award” from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. A graduate of University of Pennsylvania where he studied English and African-American literature, Legend participated in a wide range of musical activities while in college. During the same period, Legend was introduced to Lauryn Hill, who hired him to play piano on her track “Everything Is Everything,” and shortly thereafter he began to play shows around the Philadelphia area, eventually expanding his audience base to New York, Boston, Atlanta and Washington D.C. After college, Legend was introduced to then up-and-coming Hip-Hop artist Kanye West, who quickly signed Legend to his G.O.O.D. Music imprint and hired him to sing vocal hooks on some of his music. Legend started gaining momentum through a series of similar collaborations with established artists, adding vocals to an impressive list of chart-topping hits including West’s “All of the Lights,” Jay Z’s “Encore” and back-up vocals on Alicia Keys’ 2003 song, “You Don’t Know My Name.” Legend’s debut album, Get Lifted, was released in December of 2004 through Columbia Records. The critically acclaimed album spawned the artist’s first hit single, “Ordinary People” and scored Legend multiple Grammy Awards in 2006, including Best R&B Album, “Best New Artist” and “Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.” The follow up was 2006’s platinum-selling Once Again, which brought Legend another Grammy, “Best Male R&B Performance”, for his single “Heaven” and included collaborations with Kanye West, will.i.am and Raphael Saadiq. Legend’s next release was 2008’s Evolver, led by the hit single “Green Light” featuring Andre 3000. Legend followed Evolver with 2010s collaboration with the Roots, Wake Up, which won the Grammy for “Best R&B Album” a year later.
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 #4 in 2011 and ranked in the top six of “Top Stops of The Decade” in 2012.

Tickets are $35.00 and go on sale Friday, June 6th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.

Five Finger Death Punch, undoubtedly one of the most relevant and successful Rock bands globally, dominated 2013 with the releases The Wong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell – Volume 1 and Volume 2. Both volumes debuted on the U.S. Billboard album chart at #2 (more notably, within a four-month period) and in the top ten mainstream charts all across the globe. The two albums feature two #1 radio hit singles (“Lift Me Up” featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest and “Battle Born”) and have combined sales of over 600,000 units to date. The multi-million selling Rock titans’ current single, “The House Of The Rising Sun” is their 13th consecutive top ten hit at Active Rock Radio. Watch the video here: http://vevo.ly/pNJ7Cr. USA TODAY proclaimed Volume 2 elevates the group “…to the top of its game. Offering more than blind rage, though there’s certainly plenty, the songs live in the tension implied by the album’s title—aware of the implications of lashing out, ready to accept the consequences” (11/19/13). Following Australia’s Soundwave Festival and shows across Japan and South East Asia, the band just concluded a sold out European headlining tour. Five Finger Death Punch is Ivan Moody (vocals), Zoltan Bathory (guitar), Jeremy Spencer (drums), Jason Hook (guitar) and Chris Kael (bass).
Volbeat’s Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies has sold more than 300,000 copies in the U.S. according to Soundscan, alongside hundreds of thousands of digital singles. The Danish quartet received their first Grammy Nomination in the “Best Metal Performance” category for “Room 24” (Volbeat Featuring King Diamond) and won Germany’s Echo Award for “Best International Alternative Act.” The band’s repertoire has become a staple at Active Rock radio, cementing their relevance with five consecutive #1 singles at the format. Their latest “Dead But Rising” is entrenched in the Top 5, on its way to the peak of the chart. Overseas, Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies has been certified platinum in their home country of Denmark, alongside Germany and Austria, with gold sales in Finland.
