TUNICA, Miss. — Gold Strike Casino Resort, the Mid-South’s premier casino resort destination, will welcome ’90s alternative rock band Gin Blossoms at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 6, at Gold Strike Theatre inside the casino.
Hailing from Tempe, Arizona, Gin Blossoms became one of the defining bands of the alternative rock movement in the early 1990s, known for their jangly guitar sound, sharp melodic hooks and emotionally resonant songwriting. The group’s breakthrough major-label debut album, “New Miserable Experience,” sold more than 4 million copies and was fueled by the gold-certified “Hey Jealousy,” along with fan favorites “Found Out About You,” “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away.”
The band’s sophomore album, the platinum-selling “Congratulations I’m Sorry,” featured the Top 10 hit “Follow You Down” and the Grammy-nominated single “As Long as It Matters.” Its latest album, “Mixed Reality,” produced by Don Dixon and engineered by Mitch Easter, features 15 new tracks that blend the group’s trademark melodies and heartfelt lyricism with a fresh creative energy.
In 2017, Gin Blossoms was inducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame and remains a fan favorite on the touring circuit, sharing stages with artists such as Collective Soul, Barenaked Ladies and Hootie & The Blowfish. In 2022, the band’s hometown legacy was honored when the city of Tempe renamed a section of 8th Street “Allison Road Avenue” to celebrate the 30th anniversary of “New Miserable Experience.”
Today, Gin Blossoms, consisting of Robin Wilson, Jesse Valenzuela, Bill Leen and Scotty Johnson, continues to tour extensively while evolving their signature sound. In 2026, the band hit the road, bringing its iconic hit songs and signature sound to fans in an electric live experience.
Tickets start at $39.50 and are on sale now.
