Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Following a massive 100-date tour, including two shows per day, of the US throughout November and December, one of the most successful US bands of the past decade, Trans-Siberian Orchestra are set to tour Europe in January, including the band's first UK shows for three years.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra release ‘Tales of Winter: Selections From The TSO Rock Operas’ on November 18th. The album is a 15-track collection spanning the band’s five albums to date, featuring their unique brand of “rock theatre”, which brings together elements of prog, metal, classical and musicals. Described as Pink Floyd, meets The Who, meets Yes, this oeuvre has seen them take the rock opera into a whole new world, adapting the cohesive elements of Broadway plays to create compelling and emotionally powerful narratives to match the epic scope of their music.

In addition to the collection, the band will release the Christmas single ‘Sarajevo 12/24’ on December 16th. The song is inspired by the incredibly moving story of Vedran Smailovic, known as the “Cellist of Sarajevo”, who played his cello in the ruins of buildings during the siege of the city during the Bosnian War.
