“Over the past three decades, Mohegan Sun has grown into one of the most successful and highest-grossing tribal gaming destinations in the country, continually evolving to deliver exceptional entertainment and guest experiences that have earned its place among the world’s leading integrated resorts,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & GM of Mohegan Sun.
The opening weekend begins with Morissette, whose breakthrough 1995 album Jagged Little Pill became one of the defining releases of the decade. The seven-time Grammy Award winner remains one of contemporary music’s most influential singer-songwriters, with hits including “You Oughta Know,” “Ironic,” “Hand in My Pocket” and “Thank U.”
Rock fans will then welcome Foo Fighters, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band led by Dave Grohl. Over the past three decades, the group has become one of modern rock’s most successful acts, earning 15 Grammy Awards and producing anthems such as “Everlong,” “Learn to Fly,” “Best of You,” “The Pretender” and “Times Like These.”
