UNCASVILLE, CT (September 16, 2013) — Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will celebrate their first 15 years of touring with an encore and final performance of their multi-platinum Rock opera, “The Lost Christmas Eve.” TSO’s 2013 Winter Tour will begin on November 13th, playing over 100 shows in 67 cities across North America including a stop at Mohegan Sun Arena on Thursday, December 19th for a 7:30pm show. The concert is presented by Hallmark Channel. A modern classic that can stand side by side with a Charles Dickens tale, “The Lost Christmas Eve” has become yet another chapter in the TSO holiday tradition.
Tickets are $70.00 and $50.00 and go on sale Friday, September 20th at 10:00am through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call any Ticketmaster Charge by Phone number; 1.800.745.3000 or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets may also be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, September 21st subject to availability.
For one final year, audiences will get to experience the modern Charles Dickens-like classic, “The Lost Christmas Eve.” Following the 2012 premiere of this acclaimed Rock opera, critics raved, calling it “Powerful, captivating……”, “…a must see for any music lover” , “…a Rock n’ Roll holiday celebration worth seeing!” and an “unrivaled spectacle of sight and sound.” Taking the audience on a journey into the “Capra-esque” world of TSO, creator / producer Paul O’Neill, “The Lost Christmas Eve” fuses elements of Rock, Classical, Folk, R&B, and Broadway styled music into its diverse soundtrack. Encompassing a rundown hotel, an old toy store, a blues bar, a Gothic cathedral, and their respective inhabitants all intertwined during a single enchanted Christmas Eve in New York City, the “The Lost Christmas Eve” is a holiday favorite for the entire family.
Since their debut in 1996, TSO has defied the rules of an ever-changing music industry. Year after year, the group has ranked in the Top 10 for both gross revenues and attendance, according to Pollstar magazine. Having played live to over one million fans each year TSO witnessed a 15% increase in sales alone in 2012, transforming them into a year round tradition that’s here to stay. Having sold in excess of 9 million albums and performed to more than 10 million fans, in 150+ cities worldwide, the band’s rock operas have defined them as the leader in Rock Theater, being regarded as a mix of The Who’s “Tommy”, Andrew Lloyd Weber’s musicals, and Pink Floyd’s expansive light show.

Hesitation Marks, Nine Inch Nails’ first album in five years, is out today; Tickets for North American Tour on sale Friday, September 6th
Awarded four stars by Rolling Stone and named as one of the fall’s “must-hear” albums by Entertainment Weekly – Hesitation Marks is out today. It is available as a digital download, standard CD, deluxe CD and on vinyl. Three bonus tracks – “Find My Way (Oneohtrix Point Never Remix),” “All Time Low (Todd Rundgren remix)” and “While I’m Still Here (Breyer P-Orridge ‘Howler’ Remix)” – are a part of the deluxe version.
The tour makes its way to Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday, October 12th for a 8:00pm show. Godspeed You! Black Emperor is the support act for this date.
Tickets are $65.00 and $45.00 and go on sale Friday, September 6th through Ticketmaster at 10:00am. Ticketmaster customers may log on to ticketmaster.com; call Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visit any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Saturday, September 7th subject to availability.
Recorded in Los Angeles by Trent Reznor with frequent collaborators Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder, Hesitation Marks features Lindsay Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac, Adrian Belew of King Crimson, Eugene Goreshter of Autolux, bass legend Pino Palladino and NIN regulars Alessandro Cortini, Ilan Rubin and Joshua Eustis.
“Reznor’s first NIN album in five years, it is one of his best, combining the textural exploration on the 1999 double CD The Fragile, and the tighter fury of his 1994 master blast, The Downward Spiral,” said Rolling Stone’s David Fricke in a four-star lead review. “There is blood here: Hesitation Marks refers to the preliminary wounds made during a suicide attempt. There is deliverance, too. You can dance to much of this terror, all the way to the brink and back.” The New York Times’ Jon Pareles hailed Reznor as a “taboo-smashing songwriter with music that meticulously blends melody and abrasion, ferocity and detail.”
SPIN gave Hesitation Marks a 9 out of 10 rating, noting, “this is the most important artistic statement from NIN leader Trent Reznor since the late ’90s, when SPIN dubbed him ‘the Most Vital Artist in Music Today’…. Through his own twisted K-hole, #ARTPOP icon Reznor is once again one of the most vital artists working today, coming back haunted, breaking the habitual. Let’s get physical.” Check out SPIN’s September 2013 cover story on Nine Inch Nails here.
NPR Music’s Ann Powers said, “you can feel the musicians’ interplay in the grooves…as each element of sound builds upon each other to make the songs sweet, then menacing, then nerve-wracking, then hallucinatory, they’re made whole and vividly accessible.” Alternative Press gave the album four stars, calling it “remarkably prescient,” and Entertainment Weekly observed, “Both Hesitation Marks’ lead single, ‘Came Back Haunted,’ and the propulsive, New Order-nodding ‘Everything’ rank among Reznor’s finest.”
