Trans-Siberian Orchestra Announces 2025 Tour Dates: How to Get Tickets
NEW YORK, New York — The Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will return for the 2025 holiday season with a 64-city, 106-concert tour featuring a new production of The Ghosts of Christmas Eve: The Best of TSO & More. The tour begins Nov. 13 with simultaneous shows in Green Bay, Wisconsin and Council Bluffs, Iowa, and runs through Dec. 30 with performances in Washington, D.C., and Fargo, North Dakota.
What Fans Can Expect in 2025
TSO’s shows are known for their blend of symphonic rock, dazzling lights, pyrotechnics, and elaborate storytelling. The 2025 tour will spotlight music from the 1999 TV special The Ghosts of Christmas Eve, created by late founder Paul O’Neill, along with fan favorites like Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 and Wizards in Winter.
Core guitarist Al Pitrelli said the band works year-round to keep the visuals fresh. “We like to mix it up for the audience and for us. They want their favorites, but the production team works all year to make sure the visuals look different,” Pitrelli told USA TODAY.

The Scale of a TSO Production
Each touring company — East and West — includes 10–12 singers, a seven-piece band, and six string players. In 2024, the production required 12 buses and 21 tractor trailers to transport equipment, highlighting the sheer scale of the holiday juggernaut.
This year also marks the return of post-show autograph lines, giving fans another chance to connect with the performers after concerts — a beloved tradition paused during the pandemic.
