Trans-Siberian Orchestra kicked off its annual holiday tour on Thursday, performing in Wisconsin and Iowa. Two bands will travel across the country until December 30, bringing their show to arenas in many cities.
This year’s tour features a revamped version of “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve: the Best of TSO and More.” Fans can expect an exciting mix of rock and classical music, complete with stunning pyrotechnics and dazzling lasers. This spectacular show has been entertaining audiences for decades.
Musical Director and Guitarist Al Pitrelli shared his thoughts on the setlist. “When I listen to our songs, I can’t believe how fast time has flown,” he said. “It’s been 25 years since we recorded Beethoven’s Last Night, and it feels like just yesterday.”
For the first time since 2019, autograph sessions will be back. Fans attending evening shows can get one item signed by band members for free. “We’re excited to play songs from the album and honor the legacies of both the great composer and Paul O’Neill,” Pitrelli added. “I can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions to the surprises we have planned.”
The tour will stop in Denver at Ball Arena on November 15, followed by Colorado Springs at Broadmoor World Arena on November 16. Other cities on the schedule include Cincinnati, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, and Detroit.
The tour will conclude on December 30 with performances in Washington, D.C., and Fargo, North Dakota. Some venues will host only evening shows, while others will have both afternoon and evening performances, giving fans more chances to enjoy the experience.
Tickets are still available for most dates. The tour includes 88 performances across the country, spreading holiday cheer through music and light. Check for tickets and tour dates to catch this amazing show!
