We still miss Paul O’Neill, who died in a Tampa hotel room in 2017, but is it really the holidays until Trans-Siberian Orchestra comes home to Tampa?

The symphonic-rock outfit’s annual “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” tour is said to have taken a new and expansive turn in its pyrotechnics and presentation as a whole, which, as usual, can be witnessed once in the afternoon, and again at night at the old Ice Palace.

Oh, and don’t panic if you see that the band is in Detroit on the same day. No, the members are not super-humans, and no, there are no high-speed police escorts involved.

Due to high demand, there are two separate ensembles that tour the States every winter, and one of them happens to be holding its last show before Christmas at home.

Tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra play Tampa's Amalie Arena on Saturday, Dec. 23 are still available and start at $49.75. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
