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.

Billy Joel ranks as one of the most popular recording artists and respected entertainers in history. The singer/songwriter/composer is the sixth best-selling recording artist and the fourth best-selling solo artist with over 160 million records sold worldwide. His 1985 compilation album, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & 2, is one of the best-selling albums in the United States.
Joel’s songs have acted as personal and cultural touchstones for millions across five decades. His string of 33 Top 40 hits, which Joel has written himself, began with 1973’s autobiographical ‘Piano Man’, a song written while Joel was playing in a Los Angeles lounge. In 2016, the Library of Congress selected ‘Piano Man’ for preservation in the National Recording Registry for its ‘cultural, historic and artistic significance’. The hits have continued for almost five decades, with three of Joel’s Top 40 songs –“It’s Still Rock and Roll To Me,” “Tell Her About It,” and “We Didn’t Start The Fire,” peaking at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and 23 GRAMMY® nominations have been awarded to Joel since he signed his first recording contract in 1972. Joel is one of the most engaging and best-selling live performers of our time, with songs like “Uptown Girl,” “Just The Way You Are,” “The Longest Time,” and “Vienna,” among countless others.
The long list of accolades awarded to Joel across his career is a testament to the reverence given to him by fans, critics, and fellow musicians alike. Joel was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by his idol, Ray Charles, in 1999. He has received the RIAA’s Diamond Award twice for Greatest Hits Volume I & Volume II and The Stranger, and is the recipient of six GRAMMY® Awards, including the prestigious GRAMMY® Legend Award. Joel has been inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and received the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award. He was inducted by Barack and Michelle Obama at the 36th Annual Kennedy Center Honors. Joel received a TONY AWARD for “Movin’ Out,” a Broadway musical based on Joel’s music.

In addition to supporting vital global relief efforts, The Joel Foundation provides grants to organizations throughout New York City and Long Island, leveraging the power of music to enhance the lives of people of every age.

It featured 23 of the ground-breaking A Cappella group’s top holiday songs and eight brand new tracks, including a holiday original, “Please Santa Please,” which became a top five radio hit. The album was the latest in a string of blockbuster releases for the quintet, spending 10 weeks on Billboard’s Holiday Albums chart.
ABOUT PENTATONIX
As one of the most innovative, inventive, and inimitable vocal groups of all time, Pentatonix reimagine, reinvigorate, and redefine a cappella. Since emerging in 2011, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning and Daytime EMMY® Award-nominated vocal quintet—Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee—have reached unprecedented heights, toppling charts, selling 10 million albums worldwide, generating billions of streams, and performing everywhere from The White House and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to The Hollywood Bowl. Their catalog boasts back-to-back #1 albums on the Billboard 200—namely the gold-certified Pentatonix [2015] and platinum-certified A Pentatonix Christmas [2016]—and has amassed 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Internationally, their releases performed equally as well with five albums being certified gold, platinum, or double platinum in Canada and ranking in the Top 40 albums six times in New Zealand. Their single, “Hallelujah” also achieved international success as a platinum-certified single in Canada and gold-certified in Germany and Switzerland. They notably made history as “the first a cappella act to win ‘Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella’ at the GRAMMY® Awards” in 2015 and 2016. A year later, they earned another GRAMMY® Award in the category “Best Country Duo/Group Performance”for their duet with Dolly Parton on her song “Jolene.”
Along the way, the collective also graced the stage of The Kennedy Center Honors for Tom Hanks, covering “That Thing You Do” as President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama watched from the crowd. They have collaborated with Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Lindsey Stirling, to name a few. Beyond standout awards show and late-night television appearances, Pentatonix leapt onto the big screen with a cameo in the blockbuster Pitch Perfect 2. They have supported organizations such as Make-A-Wish, Do it for the Love Foundation, and more. The quintet reached milestone after milestone with 2021’s Evergreen and 2022’s Holidays Around The World, with each album and accompanying tour setting new records for Pentatonix. In 2023, the group received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame before closing out the year with a North American Christmas Tour in support of their holiday greatest hits album, The Greatest Christmas Hits. Next up, Pentatonix will star in the upcoming Netflix holiday romcom, Meet Me Next Christmas.
