We can already hear the epic “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo.”
Trans-Siberian Orchestra just announced their 2024 ‘The Lost Christmas Eve Tour’ that will send them to arenas all over North America from mid-November through late December.
That includes stops at Albany, NY’s MVP Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 20, Buffalo, NY’s KeyBank Center on Wednesday, Dec. 4 and Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on Friday, Dec. 20.
At all concerts, fans can expect to hear cuts from the group’s 2004 double album “The Lost Christmas Eve,” which features the iconic “Wizards in Winter” along with classics like “Christmas Canon Rock” and “Christmas Dreams.”
And, if you’ve never seen the unique ensemble IRL, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra puts on a live show that is truly for everyone.
“The first show we did, back in 1999 in Philadelphia, I looked in the front row when we got out there, and I saw two grandparents in crocheted reindeer-themed sweaters, sitting right next to a big young guy in a Slayer hoodie, so that tells you everything,” TSO member Al Pitrelli told USA Today.
If this sounds like the hard-rocking Yuletide-themed concert of your holiday dreams, tickets are available as od today.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming ‘The Lost Christmas Eve Tour’ shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, Sept. 13.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

“The Lost Christmas Eve”
Released on Oct. 12, 2004, “The Lost Christmas Eve” tells the story of an overworked businessman who finally makes time for his neglected son over the holiday season.
Made up of 23 tracks, the 74-minute record toys with Christmas music conventions — there’s a bit of jazz, some twinkly piano, and soaring guitar solos — to create something wholly original.
If you’ve never listened (or it’s been 20 years since you last gave “TLCE” a spin), we recommend rocking out to “Faith Noel” or “Queen of the Winter Night;” more sensitive souls may appreciate the slower, softer “The Wisdom of Snow” or acoustic “O Come All Ye Faithful.”
Personally, we love the go-for-broke vocals in “For The Sake of Our Brother” most, but we guarantee each listener will find their own favorite tune. There’s a lot to like here.
