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.

The band – Robin Zander (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick Nielsen (lead guitar), Tom Petersson (bass guitar), and Daxx Nielsen (drums) – are true pioneers with an unparalleled streak of certifiably classic tunes, from “He’s A Whore,” “California Man” and “Dream Police” to “Surrender” and “I Want You To Want Me.”

The induction honored both the band and the pioneering sound that has earned them total record sales well more than 20 million featured appearances and more than 40 international gold and platinum certifications. Cheap Trick closed the 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony with a show-stealing performance that prompted Rolling Stone to rave, “Their smoking three-song set (was) played to perfection, with Zander hitting all the notes he hit at Budokan back in 1978.”
In May 2018, the band released their single, “The Summer Looks Good On You.” The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers co-produced the electrifying rocker alongside their long-time collaborator, GRAMMY® Award winner Julian Raymond (Glen Campbell, Fastball).
The song was the first glimpse at the band’s 20th studio album, IN ANOTHER WORLD, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Rock Chart upon its release in Spring 2021, their highest first week chart placement in their long, remarkable career. The record also bowed at #1 on the “Record Label Independent Current Albums” chart, #5 “Current Digital,” #6 “Top Current,” #6 “Internet,” #7 Top Albums,” and #10 “Digital.” To add to the excitement, the album’s single, “Light Up The Fire,” peaked at #1 at Classic Rock Radio both Mediabase and BDS.

Ace Frehley
The only thing more recognizable than Ace Frehley’s signature “Spaceman” makeup is his guitar playing. Those thundering riffs and singable solos have enshrined him as one of the most influential, inspiring, and impactful musicians of all time. Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss. As it turns out, the man who once sang “Shock Me” is as much of a livewire as ever in 2024 and beyond.
Slaughter
With over 30 years of Rock and Roll under their belt, Slaughter hit radio, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved, Kiss, Ozzy, and others meant the good times were just a song away, and their first hit single, “Up All Night” certainly fit into that mold, their second chart-topper, “Fly To The Angels” was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band’s music and lyrics. Slaughter has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans, regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still here and most critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold.
Aldo Nova
After four decades, dozens of classic songs, and hundreds of shows, multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Aldo Nova can finally be seen live after a long self-imposed hiatus. He has toured the world with bands like Cheap Trick, Hall and Oates, Sammy Hagar, Blue Öyster Cult, and as a headlining act. He was also the musical director for Cindy Lauper during her tour of Japan and Australia and with both biggest stars in France, Johnny Halliday and Patrick Bruel. He speaks and writes in three different languages, English, French and Italian, and has written and produced hit songs in all three.
