Tickets on sale Friday, March 17th
Celebrating a career that has seen him perform his ever-growing catalog of smash hit songs across the globe for nearly six decades, legendary music, superstar Kenny Loggins brings his This Is It! Final Tour 2023 with special guest Yacht Rock Revue to Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:30pm on Thursday, September 14th.
Tickets are $199.50, $149.50, $129.50, $99.50, $79.50, and $39.50, and go on sale Friday, March 17th at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, March 18th, subject to availability.
Since he first burst on the music scene as half of the hit duo Loggins & Messina and throughout his spectacularly successful solo career, during which time he racked up a consistent succession of gold and platinum-selling albums and singles, Loggins has become a pop culture icon. The two-time Grammy winner has earned the nickname of “The Soundtrack King” thanks to his indelible contributions to films such as Caddyshack, Footloose, and Top Gun (and now the new blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick).
“It’s been an amazing journey since starting with Jimmy Messina in 1971, and I’m fortunate to have had such a long touring career,” Loggins said. “I don’t see this as the end of my professional career, but certainly a halt to the grind of major touring.” He stresses that there was no overarching reason to say farewell to touring, other than “after spending a lifetime on the road, I want to have more time at home.”
As one of the most successful recording artists of all time, with more than 25 million albums sold worldwide, Loggins has topped the charts with songs such as “I’m Alright,” “Footloose,” “Danger Zone,” and, of course, “This Is It”, among many others. On the This Is It Tour, he’ll trace his remarkable musical history with a brand-new, career-spanning stage show sure to thrill his loyal legion of fans.
“I’ll be playing songs that I feel sum up the emotional story of my music,” Loggins said. “This will include 90 percent of the hits and 10 or so percent of the deeper cuts.”
Along with his own solo work, Loggins has an incredible body of work that includes his hits with Jim Messina – including “Danny’s Song,” “House at Pooh Corner,” “Love Song” and “Your Mama Don’t Dance” – as well as his smash duet with Stevie Nicks, “Whenever I Call You Friend” and the Rock radio favorite, “Don’t Fight It,” on which he teamed up with Steve Perry.
As for possible guests on the This Is It Tour, Loggins hints that fans can expect some surprises. “We’ve been talking about it,” he says. “We’re hoping to have some of my longtime friends sit in whenever possible.”

Special guest Better Than Ezra joins Train at Mohegan Sun Arena
Fans will have an opportunity to witness multi-Grammy and Billboard Award-winning band Train’s extensive and critically acclaimed catalog of hits performed live. Train returns to Mohegan Sun Arena with special guest Better Than Ezra at 7:30pm on Saturday, August 19th.
Tickets are $99.50, $59.50, and $49.50, and go on sale Friday, March 10th at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, March 11th, subject to availability.
Train’s climb to the top began in 1994, as the original five-member band tenaciously built a loyal hometown following, leading up to their debut album in 1998. The tumbling wordplay of “Meet Virginia” gave them their first unlikely radio hit, and 2001’s “Drops of Jupiter” broke them to multi-platinum status thanks to the double-Grammy Award winning-title song that spent 10 months in the Top 40. The group won another Grammy Award in 2011 for their global hit “Hey, Soul Sister,” from their multi-platinum album Save Me, San Francisco. The now 11-time platinum hit “Hey, Soul Sister,” was the No. 1 best-selling smash and most downloaded single of 2010. It also achieved RIAA Diamond status in 2021 and, in 2022, surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.
Train has sold more than 10 million albums and 30 million tracks worldwide, with multiple platinum/gold citations, including three Grammy Awards, two Billboard Music Awards and dozens of other honors. They’ve had 12 albums on the Billboard 200 albums chart with their 2014 Bulletproof Picasso reaching No. 4 in 2012 and 2017’s a girl a bottle a boat, debuting at No. 8. Train’s highly anticipated 11th studio album, AM Gold, was released on May 20, 2022.
Train frontman Pat Monahan partakes in other ventures outside of music, including his award-winning wine portfolio, Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co, which was created in 2011 and has sold more than 10 million bottles and won more than 100 medals. Proceeds from his wine business support Family House, a San Francisco charity that supports families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Monahan has appeared on television and in film with credits that include the 2021 Hallmark Channel original movie, Christmas in Tahoe, inspired by Train’s album of the same name, which he executive produced and starred, Dr. Ken, 90210, CBS’s Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum P.I., The Voice, American Idol, and The Bachelor.
Better Than Ezra – the New Orleans quartet founded by Kevin Griffin (lead vocals, guitar, piano) and Tom Drummond (bass, backing vocals) — formed in 1988 at Louisiana State University. Their hummable melodies, unshakable guitar riffs, and confessional lyrics quietly cemented the group as an enduring force in Rock music. Named one the top “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” by Billboard, Better Than Ezra released their last single, “Grateful,” in 2018 and are currently in the studio working on new music.
