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.

ABOUT RUSH
RUSH took rock music into uncharted territory and to unmatched heights fueled by the once-in-a-lifetime interplay of Geddy Lee [bass, keys, vocals], Alex Lifeson [guitar, vocals], and the late Neil Peart [drums, lyrics]. Selling over 45 million albums worldwide, garnering seven GRAMMY® Award nominations, tallying billions of streams, and earning induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame®, and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, the pioneering trio’s incalculable influence has spanned generations, attracting one of the most ardent audiences in history. These musicians effectively reimagined and redefined rock without boundaries, striking a balance between elite instrumentation, anthemic vocals, provocative lyricism, and timeless storytelling both sonically and thematically. RUSH notably achieved “the third most consecutive gold/platinum studio albums by a rock a band behind only the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.” Furthermore, their accolades have included becoming Officers of the Order of Canada in 1996, achieving the Canadian Governor General’s Performing Arts Award in 2012, and receiving recognition with both a star on the Canada Walk of Fame and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The world tragically said goodbye to Peart on January 7th, 2020 following his battle with brain cancer. Honouring Peart and the legacy the band had forged together, Lee and Lifeson celebrate RUSH on tour in 2026. It’s a moment for new listeners to finally experience this music live in all of its glory and another chance for the group’s faithful fanbase to rally again.

UNCASVILLE, CT (September 18, 2025) – Chris Stapleton will extend his All-American Road Show into 2026 with a two-night stand in Uncasville, Connecticut at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, February 27th and Saturday February 28th. Both “Evening with Chris Stapleton” shows featuring Stapleton and his full band will begin at 7:00pm.
Tickets for An Evening With Chris Stapleton will be available for pre-order on Wednesday, September 24th at 10:00am before the general on-sales kick off on Friday, September 26th at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Stapleton fans can purchase tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, September 27th. For Friday tickets, click HERE and for Saturday, click HERE.
The new shows add to another landmark year for Stapleton, who recently earned three nominations at the 59th Annual CMA Awards (“Entertainer of the Year”, “Male Vocalist of the Year”, “Music Video of the Year” for “Think I’m In Love With You”) and, earlier this year, was named “Male Artist of the Year” at the 60th Annual ACM Awards—his fifth time winning the category.
Stapleton also recently celebrated the ten-year anniversary of his groundbreaking debut album, Traveller. In celebration of the milestone, new special-edition vinyl variants are now available. Beloved by critics, fans and fellow artists, Traveller was recorded at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A with producer Dave Cobb. It won “Best Country Album” at the 58thGRAMMY Awards, “Album of the Year” at both the CMAs and ACMs and went on to become the best-selling Country album of the 2010’s. Following a historic turn on the 2015 CMA Awards—where Stapleton became the first artist to ever win “Album of the Year”, “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “New Artist of the Year” in the same year—Traveller became the first album in history to re-enter the Billboard 200 all-genre album chart at #1, where it stayed for two straight weeks. With global sales over 11 million, the album is certified RIAA 7x Platinum in the U.S. and has been streamed over 11 billion times around the world. Additionally, the album has spent over 500 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, the first Country album to do so.
An 11x Grammy, 19x CMA and 21x ACM Award-winner, Stapleton has gone on to release four more studio albums including his most recent, 2023’s Higher (Mercury Records, stream/purchase here). Produced by Dave Cobb, Morgane Stapleton and Chris Stapleton, the record landed on several “Best of” lists including Billboard, Esquire, Vulture and Rolling Stone, who praised, “dazzling…the best evidence yet for the way one man’s voice has become synonymous with the very idea of a musical genre.” Additionally, GQ declared, “In an age rife with division, he’s maybe the only thing Americans all agree on…one of the most reliable hit makers in music” and NPR Music proclaimed, “Higher puts him where he always really was—in that classic kind of Rock and Soul, Tom Petty, Eagles, going beyond the confines of the genre.”
Additional highlights over the past decade include the National Anthem performance at 2023’s Super Bowl LVII, three appearances on Saturday Night Live, countless sold-out shows worldwide and collaborations with Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Sheryl Crow, Santana, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Slash, George Strait and many more. Later this summer, Stapleton will release a new song as part of Apple Original Films’ upcoming F1 movie soundtrack.
In addition to their work as musicians, the Stapletons are founders of the Outlaw State of Kind charitable fund, which supports a variety of causes that are close to their heart. Moreover, in 2024, Stapleton unveiled Traveller Whiskey, a first-of-its-kind collaboration created in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery’s Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley, which went on to become last year’s Most Awarded Super Premium Whiskey and was just announced as the first official whiskey of Major League Baseball.
