The Iconic Group joins the Sun Patio Concert Series lineup for a night of Unforgettable Music and Summer Fun
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 18, 2025) – Get ready to shake things up as legendary group, Village People, bring the ultimate Disco revival to the Sun Patio at Mohegan Sun on Saturday, July 12th, as part of the high-energy Sun Patio Concert Series launched on June 14th with crowd favorite Rock band Buckcherry. The series continues throughout Summer with more details available HERE.
The show kicks off at 7:30pm and is open to fans of all ages, making it a perfect summer night out for the whole family. Tickets are available now through Ticketmaster, and the Mohegan Sun Box Office. All Sun Patio Concert Series shows are general admission and take place rain or shine! This premier outdoor event space at Mohegan Sun also features a full bar and deck for guests 21+.
The Village People are one of the most talented and well-known Disco groups of their era. Their music is part of the international songbook and their debut album, released in 1977, featured the hit singles “San Francisco (You Got Me)” and “In Hollywood (Everybody’s A Star).”
Village People at that time consisted of only Victor Willis and session singers. Eventually, a group was assembled around Willis to perform on American Bandstand. Thus began the creation of Village People.
The guys were soon an international phenomenon with release of the second album titled Macho Man, once again recorded by Victor Willis with use of session singers. Auditions were held for performers to join Victor however prior to the release of the Macho Man album and many answered the call. Village People were finally a bona fide group.
Next was the five-time platinum album Cruisin which featured the blockbuster hit “Y.M.C.A.” After that was the Go West album, and finally Live and Sleazy. Victor Willis then exited the group but not before leaving them with such smash hits as “Y.M.C.A” “Macho Man” “Go West” “In the Navy” “Magic Night” and “Milk Shake.” Village People have sold over 100 million records worldwide!
