UNCASVILLE, CT (September 10, 2024) – Country music’s “emo cowgirl” Megan Moroney is set to make her Mohegan Sun Arena debut when Moroney’s “Am I Okay? Tour” hits the stage on Saturday, May 24, 2025, for an 8:00pm show.
Tickets to see the can’t-miss Country music superstar go on sale Friday, September 13th at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Tickets are also available via the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, September 14th, subject to availability.
A Country phenomenon with major star power and massive talent to match, Megan Moroney is the rare artist to earn icon status soon after breaking onto the scene. With over 1.6 BILLION total global streams to date, the Georgia-bred singer/songwriter kicked off the latest era of her formidable career with her critically acclaimed sophomore album Am I Okay?: a July 2024 release that debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, emerged as the year’s third-biggest debut from a female Country artist, and won rave reviews from many of the music world’s leading publications (including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Variety, Billboard, American Songwriter, and more).
Featuring Moroney’s post-breakup ballad “No Caller ID” — a track that shattered the record for the biggest Country female song debut in streams in the U.S. — Am I Okay? continues the meteoric rise first set in motion with “Tennessee Orange,” a 2X PLATINUM #1 hit included on her 2023 blockbuster debut Lucky. Soon after Lucky’s arrival, Moroney began amassing a steady stream of accolades, including winning Breakthrough Female Video of the Year at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, MusicRow’s Breakout Artist of the Year at the 2024 CountryBreakout Awards, and New Female Artist of the Year at the 59th ACM Awards (where she reigned as the most nominated female artist with SIX NODS), in addition to racking up nominations from the CMA, iHeart, CMT Music, and Billboard Music Awards. With her live experience including selling out three consecutive headline tours, playing stadiums across the country as support for Kenny Chesney, and taking the stage at high-profile festivals like Stagecoach and Lollapalooza, Moroney has kicked off the GEORGIA GIRL TOUR — a 15-date headlining run bringing her notoriously dazzling live show to audiences all over the UK and Europe.
