Tickets On Sale Friday, March 6th at 10:00am
UNCASVILLE, CT (March 2, 2026) – Country’s hottest rising star Tucker Wetmore has expanded The Brunette World Tour presented by NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer, adding 17 new dates to the already massive 2026 run, including a newly announced performance at Mohegan Sun Arena on Sunday, June 21, 2026 at 7:30pm. The show also features special guests Maddox Batson and Jacob Hackworth.
Tickets go on sale Friday, March 6th, 2026 at 10:00am via Ticketmaster, with tickets available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, March 7th, 2026. A portion of every ticket sold goes to Face the Fight, supporting suicide prevention and mental health treatment for veterans.
The tour extension follows Wetmore’s announcement of his upcoming track, “Sunburn,” set to release on March 13th, beginning a steady stream of new music this year.
Wetmore kicked off The Brunette World Tour presented by NÜTRL Vodka Seltzer in February, which saw sold-out shows in Boston and New York City as well as his first-ever arena headlining show in Harrisburg, PA. The high-energy live show heads overseas this spring for dates across the U.K. and EU, including three sold-out nights in London. This summer, Wetmore will take the stage at Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest 2026 and join Jordan Davis, HARDY and Brooks & Dunn on tour for select dates.
Meanwhile, his fan-favorite hit “Brunette” continues its ascent at Country radio, already cracking a spot in the Top 15. A standout from his debut album What Not To, the track has already notched over 225M U.S. streams. Turning heartbreak into a tongue-in-cheek confession, “Brunette” finds Wetmore swearing off his old type for good. Holler praised it as a “powerful pop country anthem perfect for speeding along to and pounding the dash,” while Country Central dubbed it “just downright giddy.”

Wetmore’s momentum followed a banner year in 2025 that included back-to-back No. 1 singles, a history-making debut album (What Not To), ACM and CMA Awards recognition and a year of touring across the U.S. and abroad. In December, he released “Proving Me Right,” his first new music since What Not To, before ringing in 2026 with a milestone national TV performance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.
ABOUT TUCKER WETMORE
With a warm vocal cut from the woods of the Pacific Northwest and an easy instinct for modern grooves, Tucker Wetmore has emerged as one of country’s most dynamic new stars. An ACM and CMA Awards-nominated singer-songwriter and headline performer who has already surpassed two billion career streams, the chart-topper has taken just a few years to leave a lasting mark. Raised in Kalama, Washington, the piano-playing student of country, rock, reggae and more wrote his first song after a college football injury, reaching Nashville in 2020. Kicking off his career with back-to-back Platinum “Wine Into Whiskey” and 2x Platinum debut No. 1 “Wind Up Missin’ You,” Wetmore landed on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 in 2024 with both tracks, showcasing a serene, sawtoothed-country buzz. After two features on the Twisters soundtrack, his first Grand Ole Opry appearance and a sold-out headline tour debut, Wetmore released his debut album What Not To to wide acclaim in 2025, wrapping hard-won life lessons in laid-back singalongs, and soul-scouring balladry, and the album made history as the biggest country album debut from a new artist in 2025. After notching his first two No. 1s at Country radio in 2025 with “Wind Up Missin’ You” and “3,2,1,” his current single “Brunette” is climbing the Top 15 at Country radio now. Already a veteran of major tours alongside Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis and more, Wetmore spent this summer on the road with superstar Thomas Rhett before launching The Brunette World Tour in 2026 with dates across the U.S., U.K. and EU as he remains a standout “one to watch” by Billboard, MusicRow, VEVO, Spotify and the Opry.

The property expands its culinary portfolio with bold new concepts from trusted chefs and hospitality leaders
UNCASVILLE, CT (June 23, 2025) – Mohegan Sun, where world-class entertainment, elevated hospitality and so much more come together under one roof, is delivering a fresh take on destination dining with the introduction of four new venues: The Farm Italy, Beauty & Essex, The Shed Restaurant and SIFT Bake Shop & A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons. Developed in partnership with renowned chefs and hospitality experts, these new offerings solidify Mohegan Sun’s status as a foodie-centric getaway. Each has been designed with the modern traveler in mind, blending standout cuisine and striking design, with easy access to nightlife and entertainment just steps away.
“These openings reflect the depth, creativity and ambition we’re bringing to our culinary strategy,” said Jeff Hamilton, President & General Manager of Mohegan Sun. “From a speakeasy-style supper club to a bakery from a James Beard semifinalist, these concepts have added renewed energy to our destination and are giving guests even more reasons to choose Mohegan Sun.”
The Farm Italy: Design-Led Italian Cuisine Anchored by Scratch Cooking
Led by John Tunney and his accomplished restaurant group, The Farm Italy pays homage to traditional Italian aesthetics with sculptural archways, imported greenery and statement lighting that frames the marble-clad bar and colonnaded dining room.
The kitchen is equally impressive: pastas are house-made, sauces simmered from scratch, and dishes like the Pappardelle Bolognese, Branzino and Cacio e Pepe deliver a refined take on regional comfort fare. A specialty cocktail list rooted in Italian tradition delivers options such as the Strawberry Basil Aperol Spritz and Nero Old Manhattan. Reservations can be made at mohegansun.com/farmitaly[MN1] .
Beauty & Essex: Cult-Favorite Supper Club Arrives in Connecticut
Mohegan Sun is the first property outside a major metro area to house Beauty & Essex, the culinary experience from TAO Group Hospitality and Chef Chris Santos. Discreetly hidden behind a working pawn shop, the space opens into a multi-room arrangement where Japanese whisky, vintage guitars, and glam speakeasy energy collide.
The menu showcases globally inspired dishes with a twist, including the Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup Dumplings, Wagyu Steak Tartare and Gochujang Salmon. The cocktail program features playful signatures such as the Ice Spice, featuring Mohegan Sun’s exclusive Patrón Reposado, and Earl the Pearl, a crisp vodka-and-tea infusion that balances elegance and edge. Guests can also enjoy brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, with unique offerings like Red Velvet Waffles and Croque Madame Benedict. Reservations are available up to 30 days in advance at mohegansun.com/beauty.
The Shed: Casual Comfort Food with a Chef-Driven Twist
Now open in Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Earth, The Shed’s first Connecticut location delivers the ambiance that its fans love most: a bright, beach-inspired setting and a menu that spans indulgent to healthy. Helmed by Chef Roberto Baez, the concept introduces a casual-yet-refined eatery designed for guests seeking a high-quality meal in a laid-back setting.
Designed to meet today’s evolving tastes, The Shed provides a fully customizable vegan menu. Diners can enjoy daily brunch service, featuring crowd-pleasers like Chicken & Waffles with habanero honey and Arugula Benedict with chipotle hollandaise.
SIFT Bake Shop & A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons: Award-Winning Pastries and a Bold New Cocktail Experience
Chef Adam Young, a James Beard semifinalist and Food Network’s “Best Baker in America,” brings his coastal Connecticut cult-favorite bakery, SIFT, to Mohegan Sun. Created with his wife and co-owner, Ebbie Young, the expansion reflects their shared vision of bringing “a little delight to everyone,” a hospitality-first approach that has defined the SIFT brand since the couple opened their first bakery in Mystic nearly a decade ago.
The Mohegan Sun location also marks the debut of A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons, an adjacent boutique cocktail and dessert bar presented by Grey Goose. SIFT’s hand-laminated pastries, including the acclaimed Chocolate Croissant, Opera Cake and Pecan Sticky Bun, are made fresh daily. At A.T.Y, guests can enjoy small plates like a dip trio with toasted baguette, alongside hand-crafted cocktails and chocolate bonbons finished with meticulous detail.
Reservations and details about Mohegan Sun’s more than 40 dining venues can be found at mohegansun.com/dining.
