***Please note: this performance has been postponed to November 13th, 2020.
On Friday, May 22nd; Tickets go on sale January 31st
UNCASVILLE, CT (January 27, 2020) – Mohegan Sun Arena welcomes back Classic vocalist and American Pop icon group, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons on Friday, May 22nd at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $35.00 and go on sale Friday, January 31st at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, February 1st at 10:00am, subject to availability.
There’s something about Frankie Valli’s music that makes young people of every generation want to get up and dance. Amid the Disco era, the Seasons hit it big with “Who Loves You,” which reached #3 in 1975 and “December 1963 (Oh, What a Night),” a #1 record in 1976. On the other side of the Atlantic, “You’re Ready Now” and “The Night,” which didn’t do anything in the U.S., emerged from dance clubs in the north of England to become huge hits in Europe. Two decades later, in 1994, a dance club remix of “December 1963” climbed to #14 in the U.S. on Billboard Hot 100. In 2000, a French-language Rap version of “December 1963” went to #1 in Paris. And a few years ago – a remix of The Four Seasons’ 1967 hit “Beggin’” became the #1 Dance record in Britain.
Valli & The Four Seasons have influenced many other great recording artists. For example, from Barry Gibb, “Frankie Valli to me has become one of the hallmark voices of our generation. From the deepest emotions of his real voice to the power of his falsetto, he created a style that we all still strive to emulate.” From Billy Joel, “I wrote ‘Uptown Girl’ as the flip side to the story of ‘Rag Doll.’ I always loved that record.” And from Brian Wilson, “In the early 60s The Four Seasons were my favorite group. I thought they were fantastic. The voice blend was fantastic. The competition helped me to get cracking. It inspired me, because they made good music. I went to the piano thinking I could top their music.”
Mohegan Sun Arena is now ranked consistently among the top venues in the world according to Billboard Magazine, Pollstar and VenuesNow. Mohegan Sun Arena is consistently ranked among the top three “Arenas in the World for its Size” and top 15 in the “World for All Size Venues.” The award – winning venue is the “#1 Casino Venue in the World,” “#1 Social Media Venue in the World” and a seven – time national award – winner for “Arena of the Year.” For more information on concerts and other great events, visit Mohegan Sun.
