Grammy Nominated Band Brings Their Signature Blend of Soul, Pop, and Rock to Mohegan Sun Arena This Spring
UNCASVILLE, CT (December 2, 2025) –Mohegan Sun Arena is set to welcome the acclaimed band Lake Street Dive for an unforgettable performance on Friday, April 10th, 2026. The show will begin at 8:00pm. Known for their dynamic live shows and chart-topping hits, Lake Street Dive continues to captivate audiences nationwide, and this appearance promises to deliver a captivating experience.
Tickets go on sale Friday, December 5th, 2025, through Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, December 6th, 2025.
Lake Street Dive have pushed the possibilities of Pop music as a unifying force, not only through their eclectic sound—a boldly original cross-pollination of Soul, Folk, Jazz, Classic Pop, and more—the five-piece’s all-embracing ethos has also made them a beloved live band known for building a potent connection among every crowd. In the making of their GRAMMY-nominated album Good Together, vocalist Rachael Price, bassist/background vocalist Bridget Kearney, drummer/background vocalist Mike Calabrese, keyboardist/vocalist Akie Bermiss, and guitarist/background vocalist James Cornelison reinforced the deep sense of purpose behind their output, often turning their attention to the many factors driving us apart today (e.g., unchecked technological growth, culturally imposed isolation, the cult of relentless self-optimization). Born from a mindset they refer to as “joyful rebellion,” Good Together arrives as a body of work both gloriously defiant and primed to inspire unbridled dancing and ecstatic singing-along.
The follow-up to 2021’s Obviously, Good Together finds Lake Street Dive working again with Grammy-winning producer Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, Gary Clark Jr.). With its sonic landscape encompassing everything from R&B to Funk to Brazilian Pop, the album opens on its title track: a left-of-center love song celebrating the thrill of defying expectation and following your heart’s desire. Next, on “Dance with a Stranger,” Lake Street Dive once again prove their undeniable gift for crafting feel-good songs with an illuminating message, simultaneously inducing a carefree euphoria and gently fostering empathy. The wildly cathartic “Walking Uphill” presents gripping meditation on the work of self-repair, while “Seats at the Bar” puts a sweetly playful twist on the classic love song. And on “Twenty-Five,” Price shares a stark and lovely ballad steeped in tender reminiscence of a long-ago romance. All throughout Good Together, Lake Street Dive tap into the palpable camaraderie that’s fueled the band since their formation, ultimately delivering their most collaborative, expansive, and powerfully exuberant work to date.

On the new music, Meghan shares, “‘Still Don’t Care’ really sets the tone for this whole Toy With Me era — it’s bold, fun, a little cheeky, and full of confidence. This song came from a place of growth for me; I’m learning to care less about perfection and more about what actually makes me happy. I’m learning to shake off negativity, choosing joy, and living life my way — because at this point in my life and career, I’m ready to be done worrying about pleasing everyone. ‘Still Don’t Care’ is my reminder to myself — and to anyone who’s ever felt judged. Toy With Me feels like the most honest and fearless I’ve ever been — it’s all about self-confidence, freedom, and learning how to meet people where they are at. I wanted to kick off this new chapter with a song that makes people feel unstoppable, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy to everyone on The Get In Girl Tour next summer.”
The new album follows 2024’s Timeless, which was Meghan’s most confident and ambitious record yet. Timeless was accompanied by Meghan’s first headline tour in eight years and the biggest of her career — a 26-show run that included sold out stops at Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum. Shortly after the tour wrapped Meghan was also honored with the “Hitmaker Award” at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, celebrating 10 years of hits since the release of her debut album Title and chart-topping smash “All About That Bass.”
Next summer, Meghan heads back on the road for The Get In Girl Tour, which sees her return to over 30 arenas and amphitheatres across North America, featuring support from Icona Pop. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Trevor Project.

Tickets go on sale Friday, November 14th
UNCASVILLE, CT (November 7, 2025) – Legendary performer Rod Stewart will bring his iconic voice, timeless hits, and unmatched stage presence back to Mohegan Sun Arena for a can’t-miss show on Friday, March 13th at 7:30pm.
Tickets for the general on sale will be available via Ticketmaster beginning at 10:00am on Friday, November 14th, and will be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, November 15th.
Sir Rod Stewart CBE is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with more than 250 million albums and singles sold worldwide. His signature voice, style, and songwriting have transcended all genres of popular music—from Rock, Soul and R&B to the standards and Big Band Swing—making him one of the few stars to enjoy chart-topping albums in every decade of his five+ decade career.
Born in North London with Scottish roots, Stewart first made his mark in the 1960s with Long John Baldry, Steampacket, Shotgun Express, and later through seminal work with Jeff Beck and the Faces. He then launched a solo career that produced some of the biggest hits in music history, including “Maggie May,” “Forever Young,” “Rhythm of My Heart,” “Tonight’s the Night,” “I Don’t Want to Talk About It,” “You Wear It Well,” and “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy.”
The 2000s saw Sir Rod record five acclaimed volumes of his Great American Songbook series, pushing his career into uncharted territory and creating the biggest-selling ongoing series of new music recordings in history. His rekindled love of songwriting continued with the release of four studio albums of original songs beginning with 2013’s Time—a chart-topping record that reached the Top 10 in the U.S. and ten countries worldwide, including number one in the U.K., where it was certified double-platinum. In addition, Stewart revisited some of his greatest hits with You’re in My Heart: Rod Stewart with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. A timeless record which spent three weeks at number one, making it Stewart’s 10th chart-topping album—a milestone in an already remarkable career.
In 2024, Stewart released Swing Fever, his 33rd studio album and a collaboration with Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. The sparkling salute to the timeless Big Band era debuted at number one in the U.K., giving Stewart his 11th career chart-topper and placing him alongside David Bowie, Taylor Swift, and U2 on the all-time list of acts with the most number one albums in the U.K.
Stewart’s One Last Time world tour, launched in 2024, is a global box office smash—ranked among the Top 20 Global Concert Tours of 2024—and continues with sold-out shows across North America, Europe, South America, and beyond. In Las Vegas, his record-setting 13-year residency Rod Stewart: The Hits became one of the most successful runs in Caesars Palace history, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans. Due to overwhelming demand, he has returned with The Encore Shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
Stewart’s extraordinary catalog includes ten U.K. number one albums, 31 U.K. Top 10 singles, 17 U.S. Top 10 albums, and 16 U.S. Top 10 singles. He has earned countless of the industry’s highest honors and awards including, two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the ASCAP Founders Award for songwriting, Grammy™ Living Legend, Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, UK Music Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, New York Times bestselling author, Lifetime Achievement Award, American Music Awards. And in 2016 he was bestowed his most treasured honor when he was knighted at Buckingham Palace for his services to music and charity.
