The Trans-Siberian Orchestra version of "Carol of the Bells" is, quite famously, the Christmas song that goes the absolute hardest. This winter, you can revel in the epic prog sounds of the season live, as not one but two incarnations of the band founded by the late Paul O'Neill hit the North American road for the Ghosts of Christmas Eve tour. They'll jingle their way to Toronto for a lone Canadian stop.
"Rock out this holiday season with TSO as we bring back The Ghosts of Christmas Eve: The Best of TSO and More," the band said in a statement. "We're pulling out all the stops to make sure this winter tour is our best show in years. We can't wait to be back together for the rock holiday tradition we all know and love. See you on the road!"
The reindeer run kicks off on November 15 in Green Bay, with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra playing both matinee and evening shows on the majority of the dates. Toronto is no exception — they'll take the Scotiabank Arena stage at both 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on December 3 before completing the remainder of the shows stateside.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on September 15, following a few presales earlier that week. See the full itinerary and watch the tour trailer below.
