Live at Mohegan Sun Arena October 18th
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 30, 2024) – Stephen Sanchez is hitting the road again! This summer, the multi-platinum singer-songwriter begins a major touring run with special guest The Paper Kites, including an 8:00pm Mohegan Sun Arena show on Friday, October 18th.
Tickets go on sale Friday, May 3rd at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Subject to availability, Sanchez fans can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting on Saturday, May 4th.
The tour announcement comes on the heels of Angel Face (Club Deluxe), the highly anticipated follow up to his critically acclaimed debut album, Angel Face, which was released last Friday. The deluxe album features five new tracks, including spellbinding hit “The Other Side,” plus the fan favorite duet version of his 4x-platinum smash “Until I Found You” [with Em Beihold].
Stephen’s live shows are truly exceptional – he sold out his fall 2023 tour and was met with praise from fans and critics alike. The Washington Post remarked, “[It] was Sanchez’s voice that was most captivating: velvety, with a controlled, era-appropriate vibrato that echoes back to the likes of Roy Orbison. His vocals were topped with a stage presence that crossed Elvis Presley with Michael Jackson.” On the crowd’s energy, The Minneapolis Star Tribune wrote, “They screamed, they swooned, they sang along with the suaver than suave 20-year-old retro pop heartthrob who showed an Orbisonian voice and an extravagance of early Elvis energy and moves.”
Singer-songwriter Stephen Sanchez has materialized at the forefront of popular culture with a sound that’s as timeless as it is necessary for the times. It’s easy to sway into the embrace of his breezy baritone stylings, warm guitar sounds, and untouchable charisma. His music is also an eternal bright spot illuminated by a belief that the kind of romance and love we used to see on the silver screen is still possible. At just 21-years-old, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist has already enchanted audiences everywhere. His breakout single “Until I Found You” went Triple Platinum, vaulted into the Top 25 of the Billboard Hot 100, and generated over 2 billion streams powered by the original, piano version, and duet with Gold-Certified Pop singer and songwriter Em Beihold. He delivered much talked-about performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Meanwhile, he also sold out his first-ever headline tour and earned acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Vogue, Consequence, Grammy.com, and more.
He even duetted “Until I Found You” with Sir Elton John during his last show ever headlining Glastonbury. Last year, he spun a story unlike anything you’ve ever heard on his 2023 full-length debut, Angel Face [Mercury Records/Republic Records]. The record tells the tale of “The Troubadour Sanchez,” a fictional musician who blew up in 1958 with “Until I Found You,” lit up popular culture, and fell in love with Evangeline in 1964. However, his long-lost debut has been unearthed 59 years later in the form of Angel Face. Now, Stephen has released Angel Face’s highly anticipated follow-up, Angel Face (Club Deluxe), out now.

Tickets on sale April 19th
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 15, 2024) – Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer Jon Pardi with special guests Dylan Marlowe & Wyatt McCubbin will be preforming at Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, June 20th at 7:30pm.
Tickets go on sale Friday, April 19th at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Subject to availability, fans of Pardi can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting on Saturday, April 20th.
Since first hitting the Country landscape, Pardi has separated himself from the pack, carving a lane that was all his own by producing, writing, and singing songs he created from the melodies up, and earning praise for it. Having “cut a path through modern Country’s embrace of Pop, Hip-Hop and EDM” (The New York Times), ACM and CMA award-winning artist Jon Pardi is a “hero in the making” (Variety) with “an emboldened work…that draws both vitality and assurance from his anything-but-sterile relationship to his tradition’s modern era” (NPR). With his “state-of-the-art blend of traditional instrumentation and progressive grooves that point to Country’s future” (Rolling Stone), Pardi is “a leader among a growing number of artists bringing back fiddle, steel and twang” (People). His “long-lasting mark on the genre” (MusicRow) and his impressive ability to carve out his own path with “the kind of Country music multiple generations came to know, and love, can still work on a mass scale” (Variety). Filled with fiddle, twang and steel guitar, Pardi continues to “apply new ideas to Country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People).
2024 saw a series of career milestones for the California-native, including a surprise moment at California’s famed Stagecoach Festival in April, where Country Icon Alan Jackson formally invited Pardi to join as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. His history-making induction on October 24th–presented by Opry member Garth Brooks–officially welcomed him as the first artist from California ever inducted. Additionally, the Multi-Platinum singer/songwriter/producer recently released his first-ever Christmas record, Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi, featuring 12 songs including original music, holiday classics, and unexpected covers.
Currently headlining his worldwide Mr. Saturday Night World Tour, Pardi recently released new music from an upcoming project, “Cowboys and Plowboys” ft. Luke Bryan, as the follow up single to his sixth career #1 on Country radio, “Your Heart Or Mine,” off of his ACM Album of the Year nominated project, Mr. Saturday Night. Featured by NPR, Paste, Billboard, and The Tennessean, Pardi’s album Mr. Saturday Night proved Pardi “might be the most successful at combining the old-school sound with today’s need for hooks” (Nash News), earning praise for his ability to “blaze his own trail over the past decade” (Billboard) with a “refusal to chase (that) sets Mr. Saturday Night apart” (Taste of Country). The album earned Pardi back-to-back Album of the Year nominations and reunited the producing team of Bart Butler, Ryan Gore and Pardi, the same team behind the boards of his critically acclaimed CMA and ACM Album of the Year nominated project, Heartache Medication. Heartache Medication debuted among the top albums on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and was named in 2019 Rolling Stone’s “Best Album of the Year” and by the Los Angeles Times as one of the (Top 10) “Best Albums of the Year.” Heartache Medication followed his breakthrough Platinum-selling album, California Sunrise, which featured the multi-platinum, chart-topping hits “Dirt On My Boots,” “Head Over Boots,” “Heartache On The Dance Floor” and “Night Shift.” For more information on Jon Pardi, visit JonPardi.com.
