DAYTON – Trans-Siberian Orchestra announced its highly-anticipated Winter Tour 2018 will return to Dayton.

TSO’s annual November-December multi-sensory extravaganza, which sells out venues year after year, has cemented the group’s status as a must-attend, multi-generational, holiday tradition. This year’s 20th anniversary tour, a presentation of TSO’s unforgettable “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” featuring founder/composer/lyricist Paul O’Neill’s timeless story of a runaway who finds her way into a mysterious abandoned theater, is set to begin on Nov. 14 and will visit 65 cities across North America, for 100-plus performances, before concluding on Dec. 30. TSO’s Winter Tour 2018 is presented by Hallmark Channel.

iHeart Media and Voss Auto Network welcome TSO when they return to Dayton for their 2018 North American tour. Wright State University Nutter Center will host two shots on Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets for both shows are on sale now with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Ronald McDonald House Dayton, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, A Special Wish Foundation, and Greene Medical Foundation, courtesy of TSO, Live Nation, iHeart Media and Voss Auto Network.

Based on TSO’s multi-platinum DVD and long running PBS fundraiser, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve,” the rock opera features such enduring fan-favorites as “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24,” “O’ Come All Ye Faithful,” “Good King Joy,” “Christmas Canon,” “Music Box Blues,” “Promises To Keep” and “This Christmas Day.” 2018’s tour also will boast a rousing second set containing more of TSO’s greatest hits and fan-pleasers.

As in all previous years, a portion of every ticket sold benefits select local charities. To date, more than $15 million has been distributed from TSO to worthy charities across North America.
