And for John Mayer, his October 9, 2026 performance at the Uncasville, CT 10,000-seat arena was a homecoming. Mayer, a Connecticut native, put on an impressive two-hour solo concert in honor of Mohegan Sun’s 30th Birthday Celebration. Nostalgic yet still new, Mayer’s live performance was a mix of hometown comfort meets freedom of expression — or better yet, freedom to jam out and be himself on stage for the first time in quite a while. It was his first show on his own in years, but Mayer took bluesy, folksy inspiration from his Las Vegas Sphere residency with Dead & Company, giving fans a first look at what they might experience at his own upcoming Sphere performances next spring.
