This year's holiday season will bring with it another massive tour from Trans-Siberian Orchestra , which will again break into two touring units that will perform in dozens of North American cities.
The group plans to launch the run--its seventh holiday outing--in early November, and dates are piled up through the end of December. The itinerary is included below.
Fans who sign up at the group's website will receive information about ticket pre-sales for most shows, according to information posted at the site.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra sprouted from a collaboration between producer/songwriter Paul O'Neill and keyboardist Jon Olivia, both of whom were members of the progressive-metal group Savatage. In the mid-'90s, the two wrote some Christmas songs that eventually became Trans-Siberian Orchestra's 1996 rock-opera album, "Christmas Eve & Other Stories."
The group has since released two more holiday sets--1998's "The Christmas Attic" and last year's "The Lost Christmas Eve"--as well as 2000's non-holiday offering, "Beethoven's Last Night."
Last fall, the group issued "The Christmas Trilogy," a box set that houses all three of the orchestra's Christmas albums, as well as its 2001 DVD, "The Ghosts of Christmas Eve."
