One of the biggest arena attractions in rock music, Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO), will once again take to the road this holiday season for what will be another monumental tour. Locally, QFM 96 presents Trans-Siberian Orchestra at Nationwide Arena on Saturday, Dec. 20 with performances set for 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

The band’s four CD releases, including the holiday-themed Christmas Eve & Other Stories (1996), The Christmas Attic (1998) and The Lost Christmas Eve (2004), have sold more than 5 million units. TSO’s 2001 DVD release, The Ghost of Christmas Eve, has also achieved platinum status.

Since its first Winter Tour in 1996, TSO has been one of the concert businesses’ most successful acts, consistently rating in the Top 10 for both gross revenues and audience attendance.
