Tickets for the September 13th show are on-sale!
UNCASVILLE, CT (July 21, 2025) – Beloved sibling duo Kevin and Michael Bacon are teaming up for an unforgettable night of Rock, Soul, and storytelling when the brothers bring their 27-stop tour to The Cabaret Theatre (The Cab) at Mohegan Sun on Saturday, September 13th during this 7:00pm show.
Tickets for this 21+ show at The Cab are on sale now! Don’t miss your chance to see this acclaimed duo deliver an intimate performance by grabbing your tickets today through Ticketmaster or in person at the Mohegan Sun Box Office, subject to availability.
For The Bacon Brothers, music is all about exploration. Michael and Kevin Bacon have spent the better part of three decades creating their own mix of Folk, Rock, Soul, and Country music. They call that diverse sound “forosoco,” and it’s taken them around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall.
The two siblings may be bound together by blood and a mutual love of American Roots music, but they’ve grown into sharp songwriters and cinematic storytellers with their own distinct approaches. Their album, Ballad Of The Brothers, makes room for both of those approaches, offering a mix of edgy Alt-Rock (“Take Off This Tattoo”), Motown-inspired Soul (“Put Your Hand Up”), fingerpicked Folk (“Let That Be Enough”), and everything in between.
ABOUT THE CABARET THEATRE
The 450-seat Cabaret Theatre, known also as “The Cab”is a beautiful venue in Mohegan Sun’s Casino of the Sky that returns in full force in 2025 hosting acts like Anthony Rodia, Roy Wood, Jr., The Bacon Brothers and more. Throughout its history, “The Cab” has showcased dynamic music, popular comedy performances and intimate special events. Opened in 2002, top performers and personalities who have had events inside The Cabaret Theatre include: Dionne Warwick, Al Jarreau, Tony Danza, Neil Sedaka, Joey McIntyre, Michael Bublé, Lou Rawls, Tony Bennett, Wanda Sykes, Paul Anka, Smothers Brothers, Tony Orlando, Derek Jeter, Aaron Lewis, Indigo Girls, Dave Attell, Chris Botti, Air Supply and Chelsea Handler.
