UNCASVILLE, CT (February 10, 2025) –– Revered Rock legend Alice Cooper is making his way to Mohegan Sun Arena when the icon behind hits such as “School’s Out,” “Welcome to My Nightmare,” “Billion Dollar Babies,” “Feed My Frankenstein,” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy” take the stage on Friday, May 23rd. The extraordinary live performance kicks off at 8:00pm.
Tickets to see Cooper live in concert go on sale Friday, February 14th at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Rock fans can also purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Saturday, February 15th, subject to availability.
Alice Cooper pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he’s best known for.
Having finally gotten back out on the concert trail in 2021-2022, Alice insists he’s still motivated to continue touring and recording albums, as well as making time for other projects, including most recently, Alice’s widely praised 2018 performance as King Herod in NBC-TV’s live production of Jesus Chris Superstar on Easter Sunday.
Released in February 2021, his latest album Detroit Stories, (produced again by Bob Ezrin) is inspired by the Garage Rock music of Detroit in the late Sixties, including several classic covers of Detroit hits from that era, recorded in Detroit with all Detroit musicians. It entered Billboard’s album sales chart at #1 the week of release, and also charted high upon release on the album charts in the UK, Germany, Australiia, Sweden and other countries.
Alice’s solo career skyrocketed in the late 1970’s, with a succession of hit singles, including “You & Me,” and classic albums, including Lace And Whiskey and From The Inside, and bigger and even more elaborate concert tours.
Twenty-plus years into the new millennium, Cooper continues to be very productive and busy, writing, recording and releasing the albums Brutal Planet, Dragon Town, The Eyes of Alice Cooper, Dirty Diamonds, Along Came a Spider, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, 2017’s Paranormal, and 2018’s Live at L’Olympia Paris, plus Old School 1964-1974, a limited edition box set celebrating the original band.
With his influence on Rock & Roll and popular culture long since acknowledged, there is little that Alice Cooper hasn’t achieved in his remarkable career, including platinum albums, sold-out tours and any number of honors and career achievement awards.
His latest album, “Road,” (produced again by Bob Ezrin), released in 2023, was co-written with, and recorded with, his longtime touring band, which features bassist Chuck Garric, drummer Glen Sobel, and guitarists Ryan Roxie, Tommy Henriksen and Nita Strauss.
As if that wasn’t enough, “Alice’s Attic,” Alice’s nightly radio show, continues to air on radio stations in the USA, Australia, and Germany. The show features his favorite classic rock songs along with his insider anecdotes about many of the artists.

UNCASVILLE, CT (February 10, 2025) –– Singer-songwriter James Arthur will bring his impressive catalog of hits to Mohegan Sun Arena when The X Factor winner performs a live show on Sunday, June 29th. The British sensation behind “Say You Won’t Let Go”, “Can I Be Him”, and “Sleepwalking” kicks off the Uncasville leg of The Pisces World Tour at 7:00pm.
Tickets to Arthur go on sale Friday, February 14th 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Tickets can also be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Saturday, February 15th, subject to availability.
James Arthur is poised to share a completely new side of himself, having undergone a journey of personal growth and self-acceptance that has led to some of his best music to date. The British star’s remarkable sixth album, Pisces, comes hot on the heels of 2024’s chart-topping Bitter Sweet Love, which was supported by a sold-out arena tour in the UK and Ireland. It’s a work with human connection at its heart, influenced by the Brit Award-nominated artist’s experiences as a father, a partner and a friend, melding influences spanning Pop, Rock, Americana and Indie.
The album’s title, Pisces, speaks to his intuitive, empathetic and multifaceted nature, but also to the dichotomous sound that permeates these songs. Fans will hear tracks that represent the push-and-pull of his longing to be understood, pitted against his instinct to hide away from the world. Some are hushed and introspective, while others blaze with life: “I’ve always been a dreamer, quite sensitive,” he says. “That crossover between dreams and reality was something that really spoke to me for this record.”
In the past, some critics have rushed to dismiss Arthur as a one-trick pony, perhaps blinkered by the ballads that have racked up hundreds of millions of streams and countless radio plays that, in 2024, saw him become one of a rare group of artists to win the Brits Billion award. He throws down the gauntlet on “Yeah, No”, a thrilling, breathless Rock number, before diving into the depths of “Water”, another curveball that sees him switch from a sultry Rock croon into an emotionally wrought cry. On “Hallelujah”, he tussles with questions of faith that have grown louder since the birth of his daughter.

Raitt said, “I’m looking forward to having my longtime pal and one of my favorite artists, Blues legend Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band be our special guests for the late Summer tour.

It’s been a long time coming! Myself and The Tilt-A-Whirl Band are excited to be part of this great tour.”

In 2022, Raitt embarked on a 75-date headlining U.S. tour; released her critically acclaimed 21st album Just Like That…, (the third release on her independent label, Redwing Records) which was #1 on six Billboard charts the week of release and was perched at #1 on the Americana Radio Album Chart for ten consecutive weeks. The album’s first single, “Made Up Mind” remained in the top three spots on the Americana Radio Singles Chart for 17 weeks.

ABOUT JIMMIE VAUGHAN
When it comes to the Blues today, there are a handful of guiding lights to make sure the music stays true to its history. For Jimmie Vaughan, he’s dedicated his life to making sure the Blues not only stays alive, but remains full of life and an inspiration to all who listen. It’s a spirit he holds close to him, and for almost 60 years, Vaughan isn’t about to stop now.
As a bandleader, singer and guitarist, the four-time Grammy Award winner, Jimmie Vaughan is a master of how everything is captured for posterity. “Playing what you feel has always been my main goal,” Vaughan says. Considering the Texas guitarist and singer has had the kind of career that makes him a living legacy, those are no idle words. His first group when he was 13 years old played Dallas’ Hob Nob Lounge six nights a week, learning the kind of lessons that can’t be taught, they have to be lived.
After worldwide success with The Fabulous Thunderbirds during the 80’s, it came time to leave the band and build his own path in exploring different approaches to the Blues. He and his brother Stevie Ray Vaughan collaborated and released Family Style to great acclaim and recognition in the music industry.
