Tom Cantone, President of Sports and Entertainment at Mohegan, presented the chart-topping artist with the Walk of Fame star.
“We’re proud to make Thomas Rhett the latest member of Mohegan Sun’s Walk of Fame. Thomas Rhett started in our Wolf Den over 10 years ago, and has sold out six consecutive shows since,” Cantone said before introducing Rhett amongst an eruption of cheers and applause.
Thomas Rhett accepted the award in front of a large crowd of his most dedicated fans.
“This is a huge honor for me,” Thomas Rhett told the crowd after accepting the award. “Mohegan Sun Arena has been a second home to me since I was about 21 years old. I appreciate all my fans in the Northeast, especially those at Mohegan Sun Arena who have supported my music since the beginning.”
Thomas Rhett performed in front of two consecutive sold-out crowds on Friday and Saturday evening as part of his Home Team Tour 23, with Cole Swindell and Nate Smith as show openers. These were Rhett’s fifth and sixth sold-out shows at Mohegan Sun Arena since first playing in 2010.

The Walk of Fame award seeks to recognize individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to the success of Mohegan Sun Arena as the Northeast’s premier entertainment destination.

UNCASVILLE, CT (August 23, 2021) – Chart-topping a cappella group Straight No Chaser will finally hit the road in-person this year after a year of cancellations due to the pandemic. The “Back In The High Life,” kicks off this fall before stopping by to rock Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday, November 26th at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $30 and go on sale, Friday, August 27th at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Tickets are also available at https://sncmusic.com/tour.
“Back in the High Life” will give fans the first opportunity to see the group perform that song in-person plus tracks from last year’s album Social Christmasing, as well as a mix of brand new arrangements and fan favorites, with a setlist changing each night. Straight No Chaser will release a deluxe edition of Social Christmasing later this fall. More details will be released soon.
Looking ahead to the holidays, the nine group members have compiled their favorite cocktail and food concoctions in Straight No Chaser Sound Bites: A Cappella, Cocktails, and Cuisine, a recipe book with personal family memories shared with the broader Chaser family and published by Red Lightning Books (a sister company of IU Press).

Since then, the group has clocked in two RIAA-certified Gold records with more than 1 billion streams and sold more than 1.5 million concert tickets worldwide to their unforgettable live shows. Last year, the group unveiled their latest holiday album, Social Christmasing, featuring the group’s signature twist on Christmas classics like “Silver Bells” and “Frosty The Snowman,” five new original songs, and a hopeful take on the Counting Crows classic “A Long December.”
