Shakira
Mohegan Sun Arena
Shakira has toured the United States just twice in her career, first in 2002 for the "Tour of the Mongoose" and again in 2006 for the "Oral Fixation" tour, which grossed more than $100 million. The Washington Post raved about her 2006 tour saying, "Shakira doesn't need much to take it to the rafters. No pyrotechnics, no army of back-up dancers, no elaborate staging - not even a pair of shoes. Just her charisma, pipes and hips."
Shakira will perform songs from her collection of smash hits and her new album, She Wolf, released in the U.S. on November 23, 2009, by Epic Records. The album is the follow-up to 2005's platinum-certified album Oral Fixation Vol. 2, which spawned the hit single "Hips Don't Lie" reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 which was #1 in 55 countries and became the most played song in the history of U.S. Pop radio. The critically acclaimed She Wolf continues to grow in popularity with the recent release of the album's third single, "Gypsy," preceded by hit singles "She Wolf" and "Give It Up To Me," featuring Lil Wayne. Shakira made Billboard chart history again in 2010 with her 17th top five hit on the Latin Pop Airplay chart with "Gitana," giving her the most top five titles by a female artist in the chart's 16-year history.
Shakira is a Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter, an entertainer, record producer and advocate for universal education. She is the founder and President of the Barefoot Foundation (Pies Descalzos), a founding member of the ALAS Foundation and an ambassador for 1GOAL and UNICEF.

Alice in Chains BLACKDIAMONDSKYE Tour
Mohegan Sun Arena
Please note: The floor is standing General Admission; there will be no chairs.
This fall, Alice In Chains will be joined by special guests Deftones and Mastodon on BLACKDIAMONDSKYE, a monolithic triple bill that is guaranteed to be the hottest ticket of the fall touring season.
Multi-platinum-selling headliners Alice In Chains are touring in support of Black Gives Way To Blue (Virgin/EMI), which was named "Album of the Year" at the recent Revolver Golden Gods Award show. Fueled by the Grammy-nominated smash "Check My Brain," which rocketed to #1 on the Billboard Rock Songs chart, Black Gives Way To Blue entered Billboard's Top 200 at #5. They maintained momentum with follow-up hit "Your Decision," which also hit #1 on the Rock Songs chart, along with a string of sold- out headlining tours around the world. The album has also been drawing rave reviews from fans and critics alike: Playboy gave it four stars, calling it "Alice In Chains' Back In Black." The Boston Globe wrote "Alice In Chains is back in business and business is good," Metal Hammer said, "Alice In Chains are back and every bit as exciting and heavy" and a Guitar World magazine readers poll voted Black Gives Way To Blue "Rock Album of the Year."
Deftones, one of the most enduring and influential forces in modern Rock, released the long-awaited new album Diamond Eyes earlier this month. The sixth full-length studio effort by the Grammy-winning, platinum-certified group was produced and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz (Alice in Chains, Coheed & Cambria, Foo Fighters). The band recorded the album after their best friend and bassist Chi Cheng sustained a debilitating brain injury from a car accident in November of 2008. "After Chi's accident, it would have been easy for us to make a sad record," says singer and guitarist Chino Moreno. "But really, this is an optimistic record." MySpace.com recently premiered a brand-new video for lead single "Diamond Eyes," which was shot in Los Angeles and directed by Roboshobo (Metallica, Mastodon, B-52s). Prior to hitting the road on BlackDiamondSkye, Deftones will play a string of U.S. shows, followed by dates overseas.
Globally-celebrated and critically-revered Hard Rock masterminds Mastodon have created one of the most daring and praised albums in recent years with their current and fifth full-length effort Crack the Skye, which entered the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at #11. Following a spate of late night TV appearances and a pair of groundbreaking Roboshobo-directed videos, the band toured the world non-stop following the album's March 2009 release. Crack the Skye placed on numerous "Year End / Best of 2009" critics lists and readers polls, including an impressive #8 entry on the prestigious Village Voice Annual Pazz & Jop Critics Poll's "Top 25 Albums of 2009" list. Time magazine placed it third on its list of the top ten "Best Albums of 2009," writing, "Thunderous, disciplined and expansive...the ambition and tenacity of Mastodon's music makes Crack The Skye sonically unforgettable." In recent months Mastodon has performed on their own, co-headlined with Dethklok and toured Europe and Latin America with Metallica, further expanding their notoriety as a peerless live force of nature.
Commander Cody Band
The Wolf Den
The Commander Cody Band mixes Country, Rockabilly and Blues on a foundation of Boogie-Woogie piano. It was among the first Country-Rock bands to take its cues less from Folk-Rock and Bluegrass and more from barroom Country. The band's latest album Dopers, Drunks and Everyday Losers features revamped favorites like "Semi-Truck" as well as new material.
