Iconic Band To Headline Mohegan Sun Arena Anniversary

MONTVILLE, CT — Mohegan Sun Arena is marking its 25th anniversary in a big way, with two performances from legendary rock band Metallica scheduled for November.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will take the stage Nov. 19 and 21 with both shows set for 8 p.m. The concerts will bring Metallica’s “No Repeat Weekend” format to Uncasville, meaning each night will feature completely different setlists and opening acts, according to a statement from the resort casino.

Special guests Suicidal Tendencies will perform Nov. 19, while Spiritbox is slated to open the Nov. 21 show.

According to Mohegan Sun officials, the concerts mark Metallica’s first-ever performances at the arena and their first shows in Connecticut since 1998. The dates will also be the band’s only Northeast appearances of the year.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster, with a two-day package option available. A fan club presale begins Wednesday, followed by a Live Nation and Mohegan Sun presale Thursday. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, subject to availability.

Metallica has sold nearly 125 million albums and racked up numerous awards and accolades since the band was formed in 1981.

Opened in 2001, Mohegan Sun Arena has hosted more than 3,000 events and welcomed over 15 million guests. Over the years, it has featured performances from global stars including Billy Joel, Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, and Lady Gaga, along with major sporting and entertainment events.
