TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA BRINGS BACK
“GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS EVE: THE BEST OF TSO & MORE” ON TOUR FOR 2025

WINTER TOUR FEATURES A SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE TO BEETHOVEN’S LAST NIGHT, VISITING NEW CITIES & RETURN OF THE FAMOUS SIGNING LINE!
PUBLIC TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, SEPT. 12 at 10 AM LOCAL TIME

September 8, 2025 — The multi-platinum rock group Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) returns with the exciting details of their highly anticipated 2025 Winter Tour. This year, the rock powerhouse will bring back their legendary holiday show, The Ghosts of Christmas Eve: The Best of TSO & More, to life with a special production, featuring a second set of hits and fan favorites, including a 25th-anniversary salute to Beethoven’s Last Night. Kicking off on November 13, the tour will span 64 cities with 106 performances before concluding on December 30, continuing TSO’s tradition of delivering an unparalleled fusion of rock, classical, and theatrical spectacle — complete with pyros, lasers, and the powerful storytelling that has captured the hearts of generations.
Midwest Communications Radio is proud to welcome TSO when they come to Fargo for the first time with two spectacular shows on Tuesday, December 30 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM at FARGODOME. Tickets (for both shows) go on sale Friday, September 12 at 10 AM at Ticketmaster.com and FARGODOME Box Office with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Sanford Children’s Hospital.
The 2025 TSO tour promises a reimagined and expanded presentation of the beloved holiday show, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve”. A product of the imagination of TSO’s late founder Paul O’Neill and based on TSO’s multi-platinum DVD TV special, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” follows the journey of a runaway child who breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater on December 24th. Following this powerful rock opera, the 2025 tour will also deliver a visually stunning second set packed with more of TSO’s greatest hits, fan-favorites, and unexpected delights to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Beethoven’s Last Night.
But that’s not all for this year! TSO is also happy to announce the return of a fan-favorite tradition: the TSO signing line! For the first time since 2019, every fan attending an evening performance will have the incredible opportunity to get one item signed by members of the group, completely free of charge.
Building on the monumental milestones celebrated in their last tour, TSO continues to redefine its success. With over 20 million concert tickets sold and a staggering more than $20 million donated to charity since their inception, TSO remains one of rock’s most generous bands, proudly upholding Paul O’Neill’s vision, by contributing at least $1 from every ticket sold to local charities.

Tickets: $33-$133

December’s films are all about baseball.

12/1/25 – A League of Their Own (1992) PG

A look at the first women’s professional baseball league is set during World War II and focuses on the rivalry between sisters, one a sweet-swinging catcher and the other a pouty, impulsive pitcher, who play on the same team, which is managed by a washed-up, hard-drinking ex-Major Leaguer.

12/8/25 – The Rookie (2002) G

Fact-based tale about Jim Morris, a high-school teacher and coach who makes it to the Major Leagues as a 35-year-old relief pitcher. A pitching phenom in his youth, Morris is convinced by the kids on his team to give the big leagues one more shot. Soon he gets a second chance to live his dreams at an age when most ballplayers are pondering retirement.

12/15/25 – Field of Dreams (1989) PG

Capra-esque Americana about an Iowa farmer who heeds an ethereal proposition: “If you build it, he will come.” So he lays out a baseball diamond in his cornfield, and who should show up but long-dead ballplayer Shoeless Joe Jackson and a squadful of departed Major Leaguers.

12/22/25 – 42 (2013) PG-13

“42” tells the story of two men—the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey—whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball.

12/29/25 – Angels in the Outfield (1994) PG

A young baseball fan prays for help for his losing team and his prayers are answered by an angel. A remake of the 1951 film of the same name.
