UNCASVILLE, CT (January 13, 2025) – On Sunday, May 11th, Rock icon Gene Simmons and his solo band, the GENE SIMMONS BAND, will deliver a historic show at Mohegan Sun Arena.
The iconic bassist and his band’s tickets go on sale on Friday, January 17th via Ticketmaster.com at 10:00am. Subject to availability, Rock fans can begin purchasing tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office on Saturday, January 18th.
Gene Simmons is an international Rock legend and co-founder of KISS, America’s #1 gold record award-winning group of all time in all categories (RIAA). As a serial entrepreneur, Simmons has achieved success that reaches far beyond his music career, extending into television, film, publishing, merchandising, restaurants, consumer products and more. During his early musical career, Simmons was inspired to become a Rock star when he saw a televised performance by the Beatles. He put his first band together, The Missing Links, with classmates while attending Joseph Pulitzer Middle School. After middle school and throughout high school, Simmons formed several bands including The Long Island Sounds, and Bullfrog Bheer.
He met fellow KISS co-founder Paul Stanley in 1970 and they formed their first attempt at a band, Wicked Lester. Though the band developed a prominent following in the New York Rock scene, Simmons worked several odd jobs to make additional money, including a position as a 6th grade teacher in Spanish Harlem and serving as an assistant to an editor at Vogue magazine.
In the winter of 1972, with a desire to create the “ultimate” Rock band, not just “another” Rock band, Simmons and Stanley formed KISS with original band members Peter Criss and Paul “Ace” Frehley. Inspired by his love of comic books and horror films, Simmons conceived the concept of his face paint. The addition of elaborate costumes, frenetic stage performance and ostentatious concert effects catapulted KISS to international stardom and a coveted position as one of the most recognized Rock and Roll bands in the world. Since their inception, KISS has developed millions of fans around the world, also known as the KISS Army. With over 100 million CDs and DVDs sold worldwide, KISS continues to sell out stadiums and arenas around the world, breaking box-office records set by Elvis and The Beatles.
KISS was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and, in 1999, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In December of 2023, KISS held its last two concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York. Gene Simmons celebrated much success beyond KISS. Simmons continues to hit the stage with his Gene Simmons Band, which in addition to Simmons includes Brent Woods (Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil of MÖTLEY CRÜE), Zach Throne (Mother Pearl, The Pink Floyd Experience, Cody Carpenter) and Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Billy Idol, Foreigner, Sass Jordan, and Ozzy Osbourne). Simmons’ keen business acumen has expanded the KISS brand beyond the stage. With more than 5,000 licensed/merchandised items, KISS has generated more money from merchandising and trademark deals than any other band in music history.

Tickets on sale, Friday, January 10th
UNCASVILLE, CT (January 7, 2025) – Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats revealed additional South of Here arena tour dates including a Sunday, March 23rd Mohegan Sun Arena performance. The high-energy 7:30pm show will be filled with the Colorado Soul Rockers top hits including “S.O.B”, “Look It Here”, and “I Need Never Get Old.”
Tickets go on sale Friday, January 10th, at 10:00am via Ticketmaster.com. Fans of the group can start buying tickets at the Mohegan Sun Box Office on Saturday, January 11th, subject to availability.
South of Here, Rateliff and The Night Sweats’ fourth full-length album¾produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver, Kevin Morby) and recorded at Sonic Ranch outside El Paso, TX¾reckons with a lifetime of pain and trauma and transforms it into a stirring, soul-baring rumination on love, loss, hope and resolve. Following And It’s Still Alright, Rateliff’s beloved 2020 solo LP, and The Future, The Night Sweats’ acclaimed 2021 release, the new album (with help and insistence from Cook), seamlessly blends both sides of his immense talent: emotionally potent, vivid storytelling and the rugged, R&B revivalism that has powered the band to world-wide acclaim over the past decade.
Rateliff’s songs have always come from a place of deep honesty, however through this recording process he found he was incorporating more of his own personal story than ever before. “Brad was a great producer to write alongside,” Rateliff noted. “This album is a look into my own struggle with anxiety, insecurity and stories of my life. He encouraged me to take responsibility for my own narrative in the songs and to write about what’s happening in my life. These recordings were done together in a room with my closest friends. I hope these songs and stories give people an opportunity to better understand their own struggles, whatever they may be.”
South of Here’s 11 original tracks were all written by Rateliff and performed by The Night Sweats: Nathaniel Rateliff (vocals, guitar), Luke Mossman (guitar), Joseph Pope III (bass), Mark Shusterman, (Hammond B3, piano), Patrick Meese (drums, piano), Daniel Hardaway (trumpet), Jeff Dazey (tenor sax), and Andreas Wild (baritone sax). The band, in peak form, fill these songs with intuitive beauty while Cook’s production captures their soulful fire with immediacy and purpose.
The title track “South of Here,” ponders the possibility of survival and reinvention. It was one of the last songs Rateliff penned for the album and summed up much of what he’d been feeling. “So much has changed in my life and for us as a band, and I’m grateful for it,” he says. “At the start of my career, it felt like the bottom was going to drop out and now, for the moment anyway, it seems to be sustainable. But when things become too much for me, I think about disappearing and just never getting onstage again.”
It’s all led to this point. On the grand and commanding South of Here, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats harnessed the struggle and followed their NorthStar to create the most essential recording of their career. “I always try to put some bit of hope in there,” Rateliff says. “The world feels pretty bleak right now, but nobody needs me to say that. We have to continue to figure out a reason to make things better, regardless of how bleak things may be. Admitting those difficulties builds strength.”
