On Tuesday August 24, 2025 – The Mohegan Sun Arena came alive as O.A.R. and special guests Foxtrot Zulu delivered a night of nonstop music and energy.
Providence-based Foxtrot Zulu opened with a high-energy roots-rock set, blending the melodic grooves of “Statue” with the storytelling of “Front Porch” and the driving hooks of “Cop Cars & Credit Cards”. Extended jams like “Sunday Morning Coffee” showcased their musicianship, and the funk-infused “East Bay Shuffle” closed the set, leaving fans energized. Don’t miss Foxtrot Zulu again this Halloween at the famed Ocean Mist in Rhode Island—this one’s sure to be a heater!

O.A.R.’s lineup—Marc Roberge (vocals, rhythm guitar), Richard On (lead guitar), Chris Culos (drums), Jerry DePizzo (sax, guitar, percussion), Mikel Paris (keys, percussion), Jon Lampley (trumpet, flugelhorn, sousaphone), and Paul Kartelias (bass)—delivered tight musicianship and soaring vocals that kept the arena buzzing.
O.A.R. took the stage with a seamless medley of “52-50 → Wonderful Day → Lay Down”, flowing into fan favorites and deep cuts including “Shattered (Turn the Car Around)”, “Black Rock”, and “Love and Memories”. A playful “Fool in the Rain” cover and the intimate “Peace → Hey Girl” featuring Nicholas Radina on cuatro highlighted the set. The band closed with “City on Down → With or Without You tag → That Was a Crazy Game of Poker” and a reggae-infused encore of “Night Shift → Stir It Up”, joined by Foxtrot Zulu.
Fans left singing, dancing, and talking about deep cuts, surprise covers, and the communal magic of the night. Tight, energetic, and unforgettable, O.A.R. and Foxtrot Zulu proved why live music at Mohegan Sun Arena is something truly special.
