ATLANTIC CITY — Someday they'll be the answer to a trivia question.

Carrie Underwood and Pitbull will be the first two musical performers at the new Hard Rock Cafe, located on the site of the former Trump Taj Mahal at the end June.

They'll be part of a high-stakes doubleheader in which the Hard Rock and the Ocean Resort will both officially open the same weekend. The Hard Rock announced nearly a year's worth of 300 concerts.

Ocean Resort, which has hired more than 3,000 for its new resort is stressing the improvements at the 60-story former Revel, including a better layout, 16 restaurants, nightclubs and indoor golfing. Smoking will also be allowed, a change from the Revel which opened in 2012 and closed two years later.

Tickets for country star and "American Idol" winner Underwood on Friday, June 29, and Pitbull the next night go on sale Friday.

The Casino Control Commission granted a license to Hard Rock on Wednesday. "What we have in store is going to blow people away," said Jon Lucas, chief operating officer of Hard Rock International. "It'll be a boost for the reinvention of Atlantic City."
