Trans-Siberian Orchestra brings its 30th-anniversary staging of 'The Ghosts of Christmas Eve' to the Moody Center, with lasers, pyrotechnics and special effects.
Trans-Siberian Orchestra is back at Moody Center on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, with The Ghosts of Christmas Eve. This year's show is part of TSO's 30th anniversary, and they're marking it with a reimagined staging of The Ghosts of Christmas Eve for the first half of the night. After the break, they move into a high-energy second set, and both halves run with the lasers, pyrotechnics, and special effects the band is known for.
If the name sounds familiar, it's because TSO has a long history here. They've played Austin in 17 different years since 2003, part of 204 TSO shows across Texas. It's one of those acts that comes back to the same city season after season, so if you've seen them before, this is another chapter in that run. This time around, the 30th anniversary gives the whole thing a bit more weight, and the reimagined staging of The Ghosts of Christmas Eve means the first half isn't just a repeat of previous years.
There's also a local side to the ticket. One dollar from every ticket goes to local charities, and over the years that's put hundreds of thousands of dollars back into the community. It's a small detail that adds up, especially given how often they play here.
