Bill O’Reilly & Glenn Beck’s Bold & Fresh Tour To Stop At Mohegan Sun

August 24th, 2010

Don’t miss out on the rare opportunity to see Fox News Channel’s popular hosts live on stage

Television personalities Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck are coming out from behind their desks and going on tour this fall, stopping at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, October 30th at 8:00pm.  You’ll hear from Bill, you’ll hear from Glenn, and then… they’ll take the stage together. What happens then? No one really knows, but one thing is for sure—you’ll want to see it with your very own eyes.

Tickets are $130.00, $95.00, $65.00 and $50.00 and go on sale Friday, September 3rd at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.  Ticketmaster customers may log onto ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge by Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet.  Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, September 4th, subject to availability.

Bill O’Reilly is the godfather of “no spin” and in-your-face television. For years he’s been the centerpiece of the Fox News lineup with his unmistakable style and unflinching commitment to truth as he sees it. In Bill’s world, brutal honesty beats hypocrisy every time. And you know how they say that some men’s “bark” is worse than their “bite?” With Bill… yeah, not so much. As Bill puts it, “My teeth are in good shape.”

Glenn Beck is the new kid on the block, the fastest rising star in cable news. Through humor, raw emotion and the tenacity of a pit bull, Glenn has become the new voice of conservative America. Steeped in the teaching of our forefathers, Glenn wears his heart on his sleeve, and no matter what he says—whether it’s about politics or pop culture—you can bet he’s got the facts to back it up. He’s less a TV host and more like, say… a force of nature. “There is really no better way to end the year than by joining Bill on stage,” says Glenn. “Wait…should I be worried?”

Mohegan Sun Arena is ranked the 4th best venue by Billboard Magazine and was the 2008 recipient of a Country Music Award for “Casino of The Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events at Mohegan Sun, visit mohegansun.com.  For information on this week’s schedule, call the Entertainment and Special Events hotline at 1.888.226.7711, ext. 27163.
