Trans-Siberian Orchestra Reveals Massive Tour for 20th Anniversary of The Lost Christmas Eve
We’re about four days into September, so naturally it’s time to start thinking about Christmas again. If we keep moving all the Christmas planning any earlier into the year, before you know it you’ll have Valentine’s Day overshadowed by all the Christmas trees going on sale. But the early Christmas announcements are a little bit easier to take when they have to do with Christmas-enthusiast symphonic metal giants Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
This year will mark the 20th anniversary of the band’s fourth studio album, the rock opera The Lost Christmas Eve, which is the final installment of TSO’s Christmas trilogy. The Lost Christmas Eve gave us such memorable tracks as the epic “Wizards in Winter” which sparked the famous YouTube video of the house that perfectly synchronized their lights display to the track.
To celebrate the momentous anniversary, Trans-Siberian Orchestra are planning a walloping 109 performances over the course of November and December, sometimes performing matinee and evening performances in the same day.
Al Pitrelli, Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s music director and lead guitarist, had this to say about the 20-year-old record:
“When I was working on Lost Christmas Eve with Paul O’Neill, we talked a lot about time. He said that losing money or things wasn’t as bad as losing time. Material losses can be recovered, but you can never get time back. That’s why he always thought it was never too late to change. Never too late for forgiveness. People can make things right, forgive each other, and reconnect. The Lost Christmas Eve is about that hope: it’s never too late for any of us.”
In addition to the tour, Loudwire reports that Rhino Records is putting out a special vinyl pressing of The Lost Christmas Eve that will come out on September 13, featuring 2-LP sets in black, cobalt, or crystal-clear vinyl pressings.
Pre-sales for the tickets open for Trans-Siberian Orchestra fan club members at 10 AM local-time tomorrow, with additional pre-sales starting the same time on September 12. The general on-sale starts September 13 at 10 AM local time. Learn more at the band’s website here.
