Trans-Siberian Orchestra announces 30th anniversary tour. Get 2026 tickets

It’s the heav-heav-heaviest time of the year.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra just announced they’re returning to the road this year for a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of the group’s 1996 debut album “Christmas Eve and Other Stories.”

The run will send the symphonic metal, yuletide-loving rockers to arenas all over North America from mid-November through late December.

Over the course of their 97-show (!) run, TSO has five shows booked in New York and New Jersey. They’re scheduled to go down at:

“This winter, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is taking things even further with its 30th anniversary tour,” the operatic outfit shared on Instagram. “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve features a spectacular, reimagined staging of the beloved rock theater tale, followed by a high-energy second set.”

At last year’s shows, Set List FM reported the long-running rockers typically performed 29 songs per show including unimpeachable fan favorites “Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24),” “Wizards in Winter,” “A Mad Russian’s Christmas,” “O Come All Ye Faithful / O Holy Night” and “Christmas Canon Rock” among others.

“[They] may be known for its pyrotechnics, but its real power lies in how it makes audiences feel: nostalgic, exhilarated, connected, awakened to the emotional electricity of the season,” Utah Concert Review raved about a November 2025 show at the Delta Center.

“‘Ghosts of Christmas Eve’ just a performance. It was a tradition renewed, delivered with all the fire and heart that fans have come to expect and all the craftsmanship that keeps them coming back year after year.”

Where can I stream Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s “Ghosts of Christmas Eve” movie?

Way back in 1999, TSO put out “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” a 1999 made-for-television movie that debuted on the Fox Family Channel.

Over its brief 46-minute runtime, the group performed a Christmas set in between sweet scenes featuring Ossie Davis (playing “the caretaker”) and Allie Sheridan (“the lost child”). As an added bonus, Michael Crawford and Jewel made special guest appearances.

Want to watch the movie ahead of the tour? You can stream “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” for free on Tubi.
