Wild America Tour

Turnpike Troubadours to perform at mohegan sun in February 2026

One of America’s most beloved bands, Turnpike Troubadours will continue their Wild America Tour through next summer with newly confirmed shows including a Mohegan Sun Arena 7:30pm performance on Friday, February 6th. The February show will feature special guest, Robert Earl Keen.

Tickets for this live electrifying show go on sale Friday, November 14th at 10:00am via Ticketmaster. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office beginning Saturday, November 15th, subject to availability.

The upcoming performances add to a historic year for Turnpike Troubadours, who released their surprise new album, The Price of Admission, this past spring via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers (stream/purchase here). Produced by Shooter Jennings, the record debuted at #1 on the iTunes all-genre and Country charts, #1 on the Billboard Digital Albums and Current Digital Albums Sales charts, #3 on the U.S. Albums Spotify chart and #9 on the Global Album Spotify chart—the band’s highest Spotify debuts to date.

The eagerly awaited follow-up to their widely acclaimed 2023 album, A Cat in the Rain, The Price of Admission further cements the band as an undeniable musical force and features songwriting collaborations with Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor (“On The Red River”), Trampled By Turtles’ Dave Simonett (“Leaving Town (Woody Guthrie Festival)”) and John Fullbright (“Searching For A Light”).
