Kevin Bacon — the human actor, not the pig — is returning to his hometown of Philadelphia to play music with his older brother, Michael.

The Bacon Brothers will take the stage at the Rivers Casino's event center on Saturday, Feb. 22. With the help of a backing band, the musical duo will show off their "forosoco" sound, its own blend of folk, rock, country and even a bit of Motown soul.

Michael, a film and TV composer, and Kevin formed a musical act back in 1994. They've since released 12 albums as the Bacon Brothers. The band, which was inducted into the Philadelphia Music Walk of Fame in 2023, recorded the single "Philly Thing" to benefit the East Kensington music school Rock to the Future. You may have also heard Kevin sing on social media, where the actor posts covers from his family farm, often featuring his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, and kids, Travis and Sosie Bacon. (Michael has also made the cut.)

The Rivers Casino concert will start at 8 p.m. and is a 21-and-older show. While tickets have technically sold out, they are available on resale sites like Vivid Seats.
