The band behind the iconic songs “I Want To Know What Love Is”, “Cold As Ice”, “Hot Blooded”, “Juke Box Hero”, and more Top 10 hits, recently announced their historic farewell tour. Foreigner with special guest Loverboy will perform at 7:00pm on Friday, September 1, 2023, at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Tickets are $129.50, $99.50, $79.50, and $59.50 and are on sale now via ticketmaster.com and the Mohegan Sun Box Office, subject to availability.
Foreigner and Loverboy, one of the 80’s biggest hit-makers, will thrill audiences with stellar performances of more than 20 combined chart-topping songs.
Foreigner will continue its long-term initiative with the Grammy Museum Foundation to invite choirs to open the show with a live A Capella Pitch Perfect performance of Classic Rock songs. Foreigner will join radio partners across the country to create a contest for local choirs to win donations to their music programs. One winning choir will be selected at each show and that choir will receive a grand prize of new musical equipment.
“Many years ago, I wrote a song called ‘Feels Like The First Time’ and today we are launching one last worldwide tour. We will be presenting a show that I know will have the same enthusiasm as our very first appearances,” Mick Jones, leader and founder of Foreigner, said. “While I’m sure our fans will have mixed feelings about the end of the road for the band, I know our shows are going to delight audiences everywhere.”
Mick Jones continues to elevate Foreigner’s influence and guide the band to new horizons with his stylistic songwriting, indelible guitar hooks, and multi-layered talents while lead singer Kelly Hansen, one of Rock’s greatest showmen, has led Foreigner into the digital age inspiring a whole new generation of fans. Bassist Jeff Pilson; Michael Bluestein on keyboards; guitarist Bruce Watson; Chris Frazier on drums and guitarist Luis Maldonado provide an unprecedented level of energy that has resulted in the reemergence of the astounding music that speaks to Foreigner’s enduring popularity.
With their trademark red leather pants, bandanas, big Rock sound and high-energy live shows, Loverboy has sold more than 10 million albums, earning four multi-platinum plaques, including Get Lucky, and a trio of double-platinum releases in their self-titled 1980 debut, 1983’s Keep It Up and 1985’s Lovin’ Every Minute of It. Their string of hits includes “Working for the Weekend”, “Lovin’ Every Minute of It”, This Could Be the Night”, “Hot Girls in Love”, “The Kid is Hot Tonite”, “Notorious”, “Turn Me Loose”, “When It’s Over”, “Heaven In Your Eyes”, and “Queen of the Broken Hearts.” The group still features the original lineup of vocalist Mike Reno, guitarist Paul Dean, drummer Matt Frenette, and keyboardist Doug Johnson with bassist Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve replacing the late Scott Smith.

Tickets on sale Friday, December 2nd
When Kenny Chesney wrapped his 2022 Here and Now Tour – playing to more than 1.3 million people and breaking personal records in many of the 21 NFL stadiums he played – the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar knew he wanted to create a touring experience to make 2023 every bit as special. Chesney returns to the cities that were a major part of establishing what has become the soundtrack of coming of age in the 21st century with his I Go Back Tour. Chesney returns to Mohegan Sun Arena with special guest Kelsea Ballerini at 7:30pm on Thursday, April 6, 2023.
Tickets are $179.50, $159.50, $149.50, and $129.50 and go on sale Friday, December 2nd at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, December 3rd, subject to availability.
“I can still hear No Shoes Nation singing those songs after being apart for four whole summers,” Chesney, who just received 28 RIAA gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications, said. “It’s a sound that reminds me how much music really means to people. It’s not about the numbers, but the joy you see on people’s faces – and the more I thought about it, the more I thought about taking the music to people who were there when this thing was taking off.”
Joining the only Country artist who’s made Billboard’s Top 10 Touring Acts of the Past 25 years for the last 14 years for this highly anticipated tour is three-time Grammy nominee Kelsea Ballerini. A songwriting force, she launched her singular career with three consecutive No. 1s and a Best New Artist Grammy nomination and has not looked back. Having enlisted Kenny for their No. 1 “half of my hometown,” which won the 2021 Country Music Association “Vocal Event” and “Video of the Year” Award and was nominated for the 2022 CMA “Single of the Year,” she, too, embodies that feeling of loving where you’re from, but knowing your heart has bigger dreams.
“Music has taken me so many incredible places,” Ballerini said. “Around the world, singing with some of my heroes in Pop, Alternative and Contemporary music, but singing with Kenny is going home. He was the only voice I heard on “half of my hometown,” and when he comes in, it’s just like hitting the Knoxville city limits. So to be able to go out to those cities like the place he and I grew up with an artist who’s accomplished what he has, it’s a lot like going home.”
Hailed as “The King of the Road,” by the Wall Street Journal and “The People’s Superstar” by the Los Angeles Times, Chesney’s music distills living beyond the media centers – recognizing the dignity, richness and fun of an authentic American life. As Variety offered of his immediacy and appeal: “Classic-Rock-infused-Country with his in-the-moment philosophy.”
