Happy Birthday Sean Kinney! The drummer and co-founder of Alice In Chains turns 54 today.
To celebrate, we look back at when Alice In Chains came to Mohegan Sun in 2010 on their Blackdiamondskye Tour.
Alice In Chains
Blackdiamondskye Tour
Special Guests: Deftones and Mastodon
Monday September 20, 2010
Mohegan Sun Arena – Uncasville, CT
About The Tour:
On April 29, 2010 the Blackdiamondskye Tour was announced after a series of videos were posted on YouTube followed by a countdown to the announcement. The bands involved – Alice In Chains with special guests Deftones and Mastodon – called the tour Blackdiamondskye after each of the band’s most then-most recent albums: Alice In Chains “Black Gives Way to Blue,” Deftones’ “Diamond Eyes,” and Mostodon’s “Crack the Skye.” The Alice In Chains album “Black Gives Way To Blue” was the band’s first studio album to feature new vocalist William Duvall.
The 19-city North American tour kicked off in Chicago on September 16, 2010 and wrapped up in Nevada exactly a month later. The fourth show into the tour was at Mohegan Sun Arena. Below is the setlist from that show.
