Fresh off their first-ever Arena tour and a summer spent with Kenny Chesney’s 2022 stadium tour, Grammy Award-winning Country superstars, Dan + Shay, return to Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:30pm on Saturday, August 5th.
Tickets are $129.50, $99.50, $79.50, $59.50, and go on sale Friday, March 3rd at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, March 4th, subject to availability.
Dan + Shay’s mark on Country music – and beyond – continues to grow with the release of their highly anticipated fourth studio album, Good Things. Produced by the duo’s Dan Smyers, the highly imaginative LP is the first Country album in the streaming era to achieve RIAA Gold certification at release and is one of only 12 albums all-genre to be released and go Gold in 2021. Prior to the release, the album was already shattering records beginning with its first single, the four-time Platinum, multi-week No. 1 hit “10,000 Hours” featuring Justin Bieber. With more than 2 billion global streams, “10,000 Hours” became the biggest first-week streaming total in Country music history. Their latest No. 1 “Glad You Exist,” recently earned Platinum certification in the U.S. and Canada and marks their sixth consecutive chart-topper with more than 2 million equivalents to date.
In 2021, they became the first and only artist to win the Grammy Award for “Best Country Duo/Group Performance” three consecutive times since the category’s inception (winning in 2021 for “10,000 Hours,” in 2020 for “Speechless,” and in 2019 for “Tequila”). The reigning “Favorite Country Duo or Group” winners claimed their third consecutive win for the category at the American Music Awards, where they had swept their categories in 2020, becoming the first Country artist ever to win “Collaboration of the Year.” The two-time CMA Awards “Duo of the Year” and three-time ACM Awards “Duo of the Year” recently were named “Top Country Duo/Group” at the Billboard Music Awards. The duo wrapped their explosive and highly anticipated headlining Dan + Shay The (Arena) Tour, which spanned 33 shows and garnered 400,000 total tickets, as well as Kenny Chesney’s Stadium Here and Now Tour last year.
The duo’s Platinum-certified self-titled third album included global hit “Tequila,” multi-format hit “Speechless,” and No. 1 Country song “All To Myself.” In the 10 years since they’ve formed, Dan + Shay have garnered more than 10 billion global career streams to date, 46 total RIAA certifications and achieved nine No. 1 singles at Country radio.

Tickets on sale Friday, February 24th
Legendary Rock musician and songwriter John Fogerty is celebrating his music with The Celebration Tour. Fogerty returns to Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:30pm on Thursday, April 27th.
Tickets are $99.50, $59.50, $49.50, and $39.50, and go on sale Friday, February 24th at 10:00am via ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, February 25th, subject to availability.
John Fogerty is a true American treasure. As leader of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Fogerty forged a distinctive, groundbreaking sound all his own — equal parts Blues, Country, Pop, Rockabilly, R&B, Swamp Boogie, and Southern Fried Rock N’ Roll all united by his uniquely evocative lyrical perspective. Fogerty is a Grammy winner and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is the only musician to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for his song “Centerfield,” a staple at baseball stadiums across the country.
Among Fogerty’s many hit songs, both as a solo artist and as the leader of CCR, highlights include “Centerfield,” “Proud Mary,” “Susie Q,” “Fortunate Son,” “Born on the Bayou,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” among many others.
In 2019, Fogerty celebrated 50 years in music with a worldwide tour including a return appearance at Wynn Las Vegas’ Encore Theater. His most recent show, “My 50 Year Trip,” a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Woodstock, features a collection of Creedence Clearwater Revival hits, including songs from the set list of this performance at the legendary Woodstock music festival in 1969. An album, 50 Year Trip: Live at Red Rocks, was released on November 8, 2019.
In April 2020, while quarantining with the Fogerty Family, John with his sons Shane, Tyler, and daughter Kelsy gathered in their home studio to play some music together. A weekly video series began and became so popular that a digital EP Fogerty’s Factory was released on Fogerty’s 75th birthday. An extended Fogterty’s Factory full album was released in November 2020.
In 2023, Fogerty, the composer of iconic songs that have inspired generations acquired a majority interest of the worldwide publishing rights to his historic song catalog from Concord. The compositions have been both a decades-long dream and a personal mission for John. For years, the copyrights to Fogerty’s classic songs were the property of Saul Zaentz, the owner of Fantasy Records, who sold the label and its publishing portfolio to the former Concord Music Group in 1995. Fogerty, who extricated himself from Fantasy in 1974, re-signed with the label upon its purchase by Concord. Even so, he was not able to gain ownership of his songs – until now.
“As of this January, I own my own songs again. This is something I thought would never be a possibility. After 50 years, I am finally reunited with my songs. I also have a say in where and how my songs are used. Up until this year, that is something I have never been able to do. I am looking forward to touring and celebrating this year! I want to thank Concord for helping to make all of this happen. And, I am excited for new ideas and a renewed interest in my music … like a revival,” John Fogerty said.
