UNCASVILLE, CT (November 19, 2024) – Bret Michaels – the multi-platinum music icon, reality TV superstar, creative entrepreneur and dedicated philanthropist – is considered a “cultural touchdown” by entertainment industry leaders. On Friday, February 7th Michaels is bringing his record-breaking “Parti-Gras” Tour, to the Mohegan Sun Arena stage starting at 8:00pm. Sugar Ray’s Mark McGrath will join Bret during his set for a special rendition of some of his best hits.

After Summer 2022’s massive Stadium Tour with his band Poison and his smash success Parti-Gras Tour of 2023, Bret is bringing his big hits and legendary energy back to Uncasville.  His iconic smash hits include “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Nothin ’But A Good Time,” “Talk Dirty to Me,” his crowd-favorite cover of “Your Mama Don’t Dance” and many more.  Michaels is also well-known for his record-breaking hit TV shows, Rock of Love with Bret Michaels, Life As I Know It with Bret Michaels and Travel Channel’s Bret Michaels’ Rock My RV. He’s a Celebrity Apprentice winner, was voted “NBC Apprentice” fan favorite and was the only winner to launch a hugely successful product from the show – Bret’s Blend Trop-A-Rocka Diet Snapple Tea which became an instant hit with the public and remains one of Snapple’s bestselling flavors to date.

With his conglomerate Michaels Entertainment Group Inc., Bret oversees his other business endeavors, such as his Bret Michaels Suite at Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, a line of signature guitars and his Pets Rock Collection with PetSmart to name a few. From raising awareness for Type 1 Diabetes that he has lived with his entire life, to supporting the military as the son of a veteran, Bret puts as much passion into his lifelong charitable outreaches as he does his music, garnering him the title of “Humanitarian of the Year” two years in a row from the Hollywood Christmas Parade.
