In a short time Missouri State University’s JQH Arena has gone from being a major concert venue with a big kickoff show (The Eagles) followed by an excruciatingly long dormant period to being regularly active with the promise for more in 2010. There is already the Alan Jackson concert to look forward to later this month, and now it looks like word is about to come down of even more on the way. According to numerous sources including the band’s website, Trans Siberian Orchestra is scheduled to perform at JQH Arena on November 5. Tickets aren’t on sale yet, though the listing in the Missouri State Tix website suggests they will come available Wednesday, September 1.
SGF will actually mark the group’s fifth stop on its 2010 tour behind its latest record, the double album Night Castle, released last year. How popular is TSA? It’s actually two orchestras, each taking the same elaborate two-stage concert-and-pyro spectacular on the road in different places to cover as much of the United States as possible and satisfy demand for shows during the holiday season. The holidays are the group’s bread and butter, having released four holiday-themed albums (three of them a trilogy) and gotten their first big break with the epic “Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)” back in 1996. They still do a pretty out-of-this-world rendition today:
Don’t sleep on getting tickets for this show. They’ll be gone in the blink of an eye.
