TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery has checked in with the following update:

"I am so excited to finally be able to let the cat out of the bag here about January! Trans-Siberian Orchestra will be extending the 2013 Winter tour into 2014 and the dates will be in Europe! I know we are all looking forward to coming back over to see our amazing European fans and your incredible cities and countries. Once again for those of you that may be a little confused by the tour advertisement. We have three records in the Christmas trilogy. This tour is only the final performances of The Lost Christmas Eve. Not the final Winter tour or TSO tour in any way! I have already heard ideas for our 20th Anniversary tour which is five years away so there is no need to wonder if this is the last one my friends!"
