The show is the first in the group’s just-announced series of Gala Events that they will perform during the current tour, which comes in support of their latest album, The Mix-Up. On their official Web site, the Beasties posted the following disclaimer about the Gala Events:

These shows will be based around the instruments, some songs will have vocals, others will be instrumental. BUT if you’d like to come to one of these shows, then dress to impress, wear a suit, a tie, a dress, a gown or whatever you feel dressed up in… AND PLEASE leave your cargo shorts, Birkenstocks and t-shirts at home, this not that kind of party.

Also performing at Borgata’s Event Center are Velvet Revolver, who are hitting the road with Alice in Chains. The tour of North America will stop at Borgata August 25.

Tickets for both shows will go on sale Saturday (July 7), at 10:00 a.m. Tickets for all music and comedy performances at Borgata can be purchased through www.theborgata.com,or by calling 866-900-4TIX (4849).

MORRISSEY'S BORGATA SHOW POSTPONED

Morrissey’s scheduled show at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s Event Center Thursday night (July 5) has been postponed because the singer continues to battle a pesky throat infection that has already laid waste to his North American tour schedule.

The former Smiths singer recently cut short a show in Boston after only 40 minutes has forced him to reschedule not only the Borgata show, but also a show in Baltimore Tuesday night (July 3), and a performance at the P.N.C. Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, Friday (July 6).

Tickets for the postponed shows will be honored at the rescheduled dates. No additional information about the rescheduled dates was available at press time.
