ABOUT KANE BROWN
Named “the future of country music” (Billboard), Multi-Platinum-selling, award-winning singer/songwriter Kane Brown first broke onto the scene with the arrival of his self-titled, 3X Platinum debut album (2016), where he became the first artist ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main Country charts simultaneously and topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart for 13 weeks and earned two of the most-streamed Country songs of all time (chart-topping singles Diamond-selling “Heaven,” 9X Platinum “What Ifs”). His album Experiment (2018) hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 all genre list-becoming the first Country artist in more than 24 years to top the chart with a sophomore album. Brown released his multi-song project Mixtape Vol. 1– which earned Brown an ACM Award nomination for Album of the Year (2021) and an ACM win for “Video of the Year.” Named to Time’s 100 most influential people in the world (2021), Brown has ascended from independently built social media notability to a 2X ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee and has become one of Country music’s most accomplished mainstays and global entertainers. He has earned 11 chart-topping No. 1 singles at Country radio, headlined internationally sold out tours and stadium dates, and garnered a series of milestones that continue to expand the perception of Country music and break musical boundaries- from becoming the first black artist in history to headline and sell out Boston’s historic Fenway Park (2023) to his win ACM “Video of the Year” (2021) and multiple CMA, ACM, Billboard, AMA, CMT and People’s Choice Award nominations, with The New York Times noting, “Kane Brown didn’t fit the Country music mold. So he made his own.”

Featuring Ace Frehley, Slaughter and Aldo Nova
UNCASVILLE, CT (April 8, 2024) –– Some of the most iconic names in Rock history including Ace Frehley, Slaughter, and Aldo Nova are coming together for one epic show at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, May 26th for a 7:00pm show.
Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster.com on Friday, April 12th at 10:00am. Tickets are also available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning on Saturday, April 13th, subject to availability.
May 26th Lineup:
Ace Frehley
The only thing more recognizable than Ace Frehley’s signature “Spaceman” makeup is his guitar playing. Those thundering riffs and singable solos have enshrined him as one of the most influential, inspiring, and impactful musicians of all time. Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss. As it turns out, the man who once sang “Shock Me” is as much of a livewire as ever in 2024 and beyond.
Slaughter
With over 30 years of Rock and Roll under their belt, Slaughter hit radio, MTV and the U.S. touring circuit like a tornado- coming seemingly out of nowhere to roll through everything in its path and turn it upside down. Touring the world with bands that they loved, Kiss, Ozzy, and others meant the good times were just a song away, and their first hit single, “Up All Night” certainly fit into that mold, their second chart-topper, “Fly To The Angels” was more representative of the spirituality and awareness that goes into most of the band’s music and lyrics. Slaughter has shown that with perseverance and sheer talent, a band can survive and win over the support of fans, regardless of what others may say about the quality of their music. What’s most important is that their music is still here and most critics who panned them in the past are not, and that’s as good as gold.
Aldo Nova
After four decades, dozens of classic songs, and hundreds of shows, multi-platinum GRAMMY® Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Aldo Nova can finally be seen live after a long self-imposed hiatus. He has toured the world with bands like Cheap Trick, Hall and Oates, Sammy Hagar, Blue Öyster Cult, and as a headlining act. He was also the musical director for Cindy Lauper during her tour of Japan and Australia and with both biggest stars in France, Johnny Halliday and Patrick Bruel. He speaks and writes in three different languages, English, French and Italian, and has written and produced hit songs in all three.
