Mohegan Sun is one of our favorite places to visit in New England- sure the gaming is fun (but that gets expensive) and the dining is out of this world but one of the best things about Mohegan Sun are the concerts. With two popular venues inside the resort, it’s a popular place for concert fans to come to. There’s the Wolf Den which is in the middle of the casino floor which offers free shows for fans 21+ with all different levels of talent and of course the 10,000 seat arena where you can see superstars like Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean and more.
Many artists who come up this way in the early years of their career play the Wolf Den. If you’ve ever gotten the chance to walk downstairs to the artist dressing rooms, the walls are littered with signatures of everyone who has played there- and we can attest that there are some big names on those walls.
And with these two venues, comes the opportunity for a full circle moment. Something that country star Brett Eldredge got to experience this past weekend when he stopped at Mohegan to headline the arena.
He posted the below photo to his social media platforms, writing, “5 years ago we played a 300 person venue outside of this arena called the The Wolf Den…after the show on the little stage, I snuck in the arena to check it out…it was huge…I thought to myself how crazy it would be to get to play here one day! Last night, you all SOLD OUT the entire arena! As you can see, the excitement had me LEVITATING! God I love ya! Thank you”

What a cool moment for country music fans in New England to be part of! And Brett isn’t the first country artist to recently experience this either! Cole Swindell played to a capacity crowd in the Wolf Den in November of 2015 and returned earlier this year to headline the arena as well!
Were you there this weekend to see Brett in the arena? Were you at his Wolf Den show 5 years ago? Were you there for both!? Let us know on our Facebook or Twitter posts!
