Bay Area music fans might have to drive a bit farther than they want in order to catch the amazing Trans-Siberian Orchestra this holiday season.
That’s because the symphonic rock act, which was by founded by producer-composer Paul O’Neill in 1996, is only playing Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center this time through Northern California. (We always hope for a gig at SAP Center in San Jose as well, but didn’t get one on this 2024 tour.)
Still, we do believe the extra miles in the car will be well worth it in order to see TSO’s always-extravagant Christmas spectacular on Nov. 27.
TSO is celebrating the 20th anniversary of “The Lost Christmas Eve” — the final chapter the group’s Christmas trilogy — and is presenting an all-new production of that 2004 epic that features such fan favorites as “Wizards in Winter,” “Christmas Canon Rock” and “Faith Noel.”
The group is performing two shows on Nov. 27 at Golden 1 Center. There’s a 2:30 p.m. matinee and a 7 p.m. evening show. For more information, visit www.trans-siberian.com/.
A longtime concert favorite from coast to coast, TSO recently celebrated a historic moment as it welcomed its 20th millionth ticketed concert attendee — Chuck Brabant — during a show on Nov. 16 at Ball Arena in Denver.
