Get ready to enjoy a holiday tradition like no other with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2025 Tour. Since the group released its first album Christmas Eve and Other Stories in 1996, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra has entertained families across the globe with its unique winter tours that blend arena rock and traditional Christian classics. Shows often feature a string section, light show, lasers, and other special effects, making it a true feast for the eyes.
As in previous years, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra tour includes two groups performing simultaneously to expand their reach for the holiday season. Kicking off on Nov. 13 with one group in Green Bay, Wisc., and the other in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the ‘Ghosts of Christmas Eve’ tour will run through Dec. 30, finishing up in Washington D.C. and Fargo, N.D. Plan ahead with the 2025 schedule below and catch TSO live in your city.
History of the Trans Siberian Orchestra
Trans-Siberian Orchestra was founded in 1996 by producer, composer and lyricist Paul O’Neill. Other members of the original creative team include Jon Oliva, Al Pitrelli and Robert Kinkel. The band embarked on its first tour in 1999 after releasing its second album, The Christmas Attic, and quickly became a household name, selling more than 10 million concert tickets in the two decades since.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2025 Tour will feature separate East and West coast bands that each travel with a crew of around 100 musicians. In a 2022 interview with USA Today, Pitrelli said both groups rehearse together in Council Bluffs, Iowa, before setting out on the road.
Between 1996 and 2015, Trans-Siberian Orchestra recorded a handful of studio albums, including the wildly popular Christmas Trilogy. The Lost Christmas Eve (2004) was the final installment, joining Christmas Eve and Other Stories (1996) and The Christmas Attic (1999). All three were combined in 2005 and released as The Christmas Trilogy, which came with a DVD of their 1999 television special, The Ghosts of Christmas Eve.
Some of the band’s biggest hits include “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24,” “Wizards in Winter” and “Christmas Canon.”
The Ghosts of Christmas Eve
The Ghosts of Christmas Eve is a holiday show based on the group’s 1999 television special of the same name and was recently performed in 2022. The story follows a young runaway who winds up in an abandoned theater on Christmas Eve. While taking shelter, the child encounters ghostly visions of the theater’s past as a medley of musical performances.
