Breakout Artist KELS to Perform in Mohegan Sun’s Cabaret Theatre
Rising Singer, Songwriter and Viral Sensation Takes the Stage on Sunday, September 27th
One of music’s fastest-rising new artists, KELS, is set to bring her genre-blending sound and live show to Mohegan Sun’s Cabaret Theatre (The Cab) on Sunday, September 27th. The performance will showcase the breakout star whose viral success, powerful vocals and rapidly growing fan base have made her one of the most talked-about emerging artists of the year. The performance is slated for 8:00pm, with doors opening at 7:00pm.
Tickets to see KELS in The Cab go on sale Friday, August 7th via Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, August 8th, subject to availability.
Originally from Pittsburgh and now based in Atlanta, KELS first captured industry attention by launching a self-managed 52-show U.S. tour without the support of a record label or management team. Her relentless work ethic and unique sound quickly attracted notice from some of music’s most respected names, earning co-signs from Big Boi and Timbaland and helping position her as one of the industry’s most promising new artists.
KELS experienced a breakout moment in late 2025 and early 2026 when her hit song “Gone” went viral across social media platforms. The momentum propelled her to more than one million followers across social media and generated more than 10 million streams in just six months, introducing her music to audiences around the world.
A proud Pittsburgh native, KELS returned home earlier this year to perform during the 2026 NFL Draft, further cementing her growing national profile. Just weeks later, she delivered the national anthem at Game 2 of the 2026 NBA Finals, another landmark moment in a year filled with career-defining milestones.
The June 2026 release of her debut EP, Dirty Blues Princess, showcased KELS’ ability to blend genres while delivering authentic storytelling and dynamic performances. The project has been widely praised for its originality and has helped establish KELS as one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary music.
With a growing catalog of fan-favorite songs, major performance opportunities and a rapidly expanding audience, KELS continues to build momentum as a live performer and recording artist. Her appearance in The Cab offers fans the opportunity to experience one of music’s most exciting rising stars in an intimate and energetic concert setting.
