Tickets on sale March 22nd
UNCASVILLE, CT (March 18, 2024) – Get ready to party like it’s the 90’s as international Pop superstar Nick Carter takes his solo act to The Cabaret Theatre at Mohegan Sun for consecutive 7:30pm shows on November 9th and 10th.
Tickets to see the beloved boy band icon go on sale Friday, March 22nd at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Fans can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting on Saturday, March 23rd.
Sparking his career at the age of 12, Nick Carter quickly became an international pop superstar as the youngest member of the iconic boy band, Backstreet Boys. With his boyish good looks and heartthrob status, Carter’s 30-year entertainment journey has extended far beyond sold-out arenas, encompassing a diverse range of projects in television, film, philanthropy, and publishing.
The Backstreet Boys hold the distinction of being the best-selling boy band in history and rank among the world’s top-selling music artists of all time. The group solidified one of the largest record deals ever, signing a $60 million deal with Jive Records in 1999. Since taking the world by storm in 1995, the band has sold over 130 million records worldwide and has earned five Grammy nominations and countless Billboard Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, American Music Awards, RIAA Awards, People’s Choice Awards, and an honorary star on the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame. To date, the Backstreet Boys have toured around the globe several times over, released ten studio albums and have broken several records, including the U.S. record for most albums sold in one year, selling over 11 million copies of their third studio album, Millennium, in 1999.
In 2002, Carter ventured into a solo career with his debut album, Now or Never, released under Jive Records. It debuted impressively at #17 on the Billboard 200 chart and received Gold certification in the United States, Japan, and Canada. This marked the beginning of a successful solo journey, complementing his fame as a member of the Backstreet Boys. Since then, Carter has released two additional solo albums I’m Taking Off in 2012 followed by All American in 2016. Notably, his 2023 single “Hurts to Love You” became his most successful track, charting in seven different countries, topping the charts in the United States and charting number one in Canada.
In 2004, Carter made his foray into the world of film and television, starring in the remake of the classic horror film “Sleepy Hollow” called “The Hollow.” Carter further showcased his acting skills through various film appearances on TV shows such as the CW Network’s revived series “90210.” In 2014, Carter and his now wife, Lauren Kitt, made their reality TV debut as a couple on the VH1 series “I Heart Nick Carter.” Furthermore, he participated in season four of Fox’s hit show, “The Masked Singer,” as well as the 21st season of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” making it to the finals on both series.
In 2023, Carter wrapped another massive tour with the Backstreet Boys, “The DNA World Tour”, before embarking on his first solo tour in seven years, the international “Who I Am” tour, which kicked off in the U.S. in October and followed the release of three new solo singles, “Superman,” “Made For Us,” and “Never Break My Heart (Not Again).” The “Who I Am” tour will continue through 2024, reaching territories in South America, Asia, Canada, and the United States. Carter will join the Backstreet Boys for the band’s “Backstreet’s Back at the Beach Cancun” concert series in April 2024.

With special guest Walk Off the Earth
UNCASVILLE, CT (March 18, 2024) – Today, violinist, dancer, and entertainer extraordinaire Lindsey Stirling announces her North American Duality 2024 tour which includes a 7:30pm show at Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, August 15th.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 22nd at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Subject to availability, Stirling fans can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting on Saturday, March 23rd.
In support of her forthcoming album, Duality (out June 14th via Concord Records) Lindsey will embark across the United States hitting 40+ cities, performing at iconic venues including New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park, Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Philadelphia’s The Met, Washington D.C.’s The Anthem, and more. Plus, she’ll close out the tour with a special hometown performance at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre. Canadian Indie Pop band Walk off the Earth will perform as support at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Not only a multi-award-winning musician known for her genre-bending virtuosity on electronic violin, Lindsey has endlessly dazzled audiences with her extraordinary talents as a dancer—an element she brings to the stage as part of her spectacular live show.
Lindsey’s shows are eye-catching and inspiring. She seamlessly integrates intricate choreography, breathtaking aerial lyra acts, and stunning costumes, all of which she designs herself and seamlessly blends music, dance, and visual artistry into a singular, unforgettable experience, leaving audiences spellbound and inspired. Not to mention, she’s sold over 1 million tickets throughout her career.
Duality encompasses a dozen songs showcasing Stirling’s refined musicality and gift for sculpting deeply expressive melodies. But while the album’s first half centers on a grandiose and elaborate composed sound informed by Celtic music and other global influences, its latter half leans toward a boldly original form of left-of-center pop. A profoundly imaginative songwriter, Stirling makes brilliant use of each sonic setting by exploring intricate questions of intuition and truth.
