Multi-platinum titans Godsmack have officially announced the upcoming release of a monumental new concert film and live album, Live At Mohegan Sun, scheduled to arrive on May 1. The career-spanning release will be made available in Blu-ray/CD formats as well as a collectible 2LP vinyl set.
Captured live on October 26, 2024, at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, the performance served as a highly emotional homecoming for the New England-based group. Most significantly, the sold-out show marked the absolute end of an era, serving as the final curtain call for longtime guitarist Tony Rombola and drummer Shannon Larkin.
After a staggering career that includes over 20 million records sold, 25 Top 10 hits, and six platinum certifications, the band delivered a hard-hitting send-off that featured a career-spanning setlist of their greatest hits, alongside the legendary live staple, the “Battle Of The Drums.”
Directed by Daniel E. Catullo III and produced by Godsmack frontman Sully Erna, the film is designed to be the definitive historical document of the band’s classic lineup. Reflecting on the profound weight of the performance, Sully issued a lengthy, heartfelt statement regarding the release:
“In February of 1995 something incredible happened to me that changed my life forever…. it was the birth of Godsmack. Thirty years later, on October 26, 2024, another major pivotal moment in my life happened and will once again, change my life forever.”
“Fans, friends and family around the world, I could not be more proud or excited to share with all of you the most incredible, piece of work this band has ever been able to capture on film.”
“This new live concert that we are releasing on Blu-ray, CD and vinyl is everything you could ever ask for as a fan of our music, our journey through our career, and our individual personalities.”
“Words are simply not enough to translate to you how epic and important this show is. It’s exciting, it’s powerful, and it’s incredibly emotional being the last time you will ever see all four original members doing what we do best onstage together, in a sold-out venue at Mohegan Sun Arena. So soak it all in, even the bonus features. I even encourage you to watch the bonus features first. It’s hard for me to not tear up every time I have watched this.”
“Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of rock n roll history. Because since the honorable departure of Shannon and Tony, this really is the final curtain call for the Godsmack you have known and loved, for over 30 years.”
“Thank you ALL for your loyalty, love and support. Without you, this incredibly special concert could not have been captured. And all though this may end a very important chapter in our lives, fret not, as a new one opens, because the best is still yet to come!”
Fans can currently get their first preview of the film through the newly released live performance video for the track “When Legends Rise“.
