The reigning Country Music Award’s “Female Vocalist of the Year” and “New Artist of The Year” and ACM’s “New Female Artist of the Year” Lainey Wilson has earned the enthusiasm of the industry and will make her Mohegan Sun Arena headlining debut this summer. Wilson last performed at Mohegan Sun Arena as an opener for Luke Combs in late 2022. Lainey Wilson headlines Mohegan Sun Arena at 7:30pm on Friday, July 28th.
Tickets are $79.50, $59.50, $49.50, 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.
Having been named to nearly every “Artist to Watch” list and earning prestigious honors like CMT’s 2022 “Breakout Artist of the Year” and Billboard’s “Top New Country Artist of 2021,” the Louisiana native is one of Nashville’s hottest and most buzzed about new artists. Lainey landed her first No. 1 hit with her Platinum-certified ACM “Song of the Year” “Things a Man Oughta Know,” nearly 10 years after leaving her small farming community in a camper trailer to chase her dreams. She has won over legions of fans with her signature Bell Bottom Country sound and aesthetic, which blends traditional Country with a modern yet retro flare.
A prolific and sought-after songwriter (having cowriter credits on songs by artists including Luke Combs, Flatland Calvary, and more), Lainey is a fresh, fierce voice in Nashville, delivering CMA-nominated “Album of the Year” with her label debut Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’. With a rockstar stage presence, her artistry has taken her across the globe, performing for sold-out crowds throughout the U.S., U.K., and Germany.
After topping the Country radio charts for a second time with the two-week No. 1 hit, “Never Say Never,” with Cole Swindell, her current single “Heart Like a Truck” is Top 5 and climbing, while “wait in the truck,” a collaboration with HARDY, sits just behind in the Top 10. Her critically acclaimed album Bell Bottom Country reached No. 9 on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart, quickly rose to No. 1 on iTunes charts, and has amassed more than 161 million streams to date.

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.”
