UNCASVILLE, CT (May 26, 2026) –– Beloved alternative Rock band Third Eye Blind will take the stage at Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, July 3rd, 2026, with the show set to begin at 8:00pm. Known for their signature blend of alt-rock and Pop sensibilities, the group rose to fame with hits like Semi-Charmed Life, Jumper, and How’s It Going To Be.
Tickets for the highly anticipated performance will go on sale Friday, May 29th, 2026, at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Tickets can be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, May 30th.
Since 1997, San Francisco’s Third Eye Blind have recorded ten best-selling studio recordings, two live releases and assembled one career retrospective selling 12 million records worldwide. Led by Stephan Jenkins, 3EB won wide success during a tumultuous group of years when the major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it had dominated with steely efficiency. Nothing could have made 3EB happier! 3EB, however, has experienced no comparable loss. Instead, they have gained artistic clarification — and, surprisingly, a fan base who is larger, younger and more dedicated than ever.
Participation in the older, untouchable realm of nervous star-making could color a band’s identity. In the case of 3EB, it often blurred the perception of their brilliant musical creations. In recent years, those creations have recast the band among a current generation of fans. 3EB now write, tour, record, and communicate in a fluid new world where their music continues to evolve naturally. Their exchange with their audience is unfiltered and being from the hub of tech, they are using it to develop a closer connection with their audience.

UNCASVILLE, CT (February 20, 2025) –Global Pop sensation and former Nickelodeon stars Big Time Rush are gearing up for a massive 2025 with the announcement of a brand-new tour, Big Time Rush In Real Life Worldwide. The tour includes a performance at Mohegan Sun Arena scheduled for 7:00pm on Saturday, July 26th.

Tickets to see the famed boy band go on sale Friday, February 28th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Saturday, March 1st, subject to availability.
Big Time Rush In Real Life Worldwide will give fans exactly what they’ve long asked for – the band will play every song from every episode of their hit Nickelodeon show, many of which, have never been played live. Rushers will finally get to revisit their favorite moments from the show, plus many more surprises.
ABOUT BIG TIME RUSH
Big Time Rush became an overnight sensation in November 2009 when the scripted TV show of the same name launched on Nickelodeon. The show focused on the Hollywood adventures of four hockey players from Minnesota after they were selected to form a boy band. The show became a huge success and later, Carlos, Kendall, James, and Logan came to life as a band off the screen releasing three full length albums and performing across the globe. As the show concluded in July 2013 and after four years of recording music and touring as a band, they went their separate ways but remained close friends through the years.
The power group kicked off 2022 stronger than ever with the launch of their wildly successful, sold-out Forever Tour, as well as all new music, including hit singles “Honey,” “Fall,” and “Not Giving You Up.” The Forever Tour included numerous sell outs including shows in Chicago, at New York City’s legendary Madison Square Garden and on all dates on their Mexico Tour. The tour concluded in early 2023 in South America with shows in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Chile.
Another Life, which was released in June of 2023, was the band’s first new studio album release in ten years and was followed up by a special deluxe version in November. The band’s 2023 Can’t Get Enough Tour sold out amphitheater and arena shows – selling out venues across the US including Los Angeles’s KIA Forum and New York’s Jones Beach on the 39-city run. Across 2022 and 2023 the band’s reunion resulted in over 600,000 tickets sold.
2024 was another incredible year for Big Time Rush, including several sold-out international tours in the UK, Europe, Asia & Australia. The band ended the year with their sold-out holiday extravaganza – Big Time Rush On Ice – bringing their fans together for a first of its kind skating and concert spectacle on ice.
