Mammoth books Little Creek Casino for April 2 — Wolfgang Van Halen's band heads to Shelton

The hard-rock project Wolfgang Van Halen writes and plays almost single-handedly brings its End tour to Little Creek Casino on Friday, April 2, 2027.

Wolfgang Van Halen made Mammoth's latest record essentially by himself — every instrument, every vocal — in his father's old studio. On tour it becomes a full band, and next spring that band is coming to Mason County.

Mammoth plays Little Creek Casino in Shelton on Friday, April 2, 2027, at 7 p.m. The show was announced Oct. 26, and tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, where it's billed as part of The End tour.

Mammoth is the hard-rock project Wolfgang started under the name Mammoth WVH. With its third album, *The End*, he dropped the initials and went simply by Mammoth, according to Blabbermouth. As on the earlier records, he wrote the songs and played every instrument and sang every part himself, recording at the 5150 studio with producer and longtime collaborator Michael "Elvis" Baskette.

*The End* came out Oct. 24, 2025, on BMG, and its title track gave the band a radio hit: it reached No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart on Aug. 2, 2025, per Wikipedia). Singles "The Spell," "I Really Wanna" and "Same Old Song" followed it into the world.

The touring behind the album has been relentless. The End tour opened its first 2026 leg with 19 dates beginning March 5 in Buffalo, New York, per Live Metal. A summer run from July into August mixed headline shows with support slots for Creed, Loudwire reported, and the band has since been out on a fall headline tour with Myles Kennedy in support. The Shelton date pushes the cycle into a second spring.

One man in the studio, a full band on stage.

Why Little Creek? Mammoth usually headlines rooms of about 1,500 people, and the casino gives South Sound and Olympia-area rock fans a chance to see the band without driving to Seattle or Tacoma. For a lot of local fans, that's the difference between going and not going on a Friday night.

Expect a set leaning on *The End* alongside songs from the first two records, with Wolfgang out front on guitar and vocals. The name on the marquee carries a lot of history, but the reason people keep turning up is the songs he has written himself.

Tickets are on sale now. Casino shows at this scale can move quickly once a radio-hit act is on the bill, so don't wait for spring to decide.
