First and foremost, it's a Q105 holiday tradition we look forward to every year. Trans-Siberian Orchestra makes its annual visit to Tampa's Amalie Arena this year on Christmas Eve... Eve. So it'll be really special this year. Q105's own Mason Dixon will be on hand to accept the band's annual donation to the Christmas Wish Fund December 23.
The other big Tampa concert to look forward to this month is the incredibly talented Lauryn Hill. She'll also perform at Amalie Arena. The December 8th concert will pay tribute to the 25th anniversary of her iconic 90s album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill."
Looking at head to 2024, we have a TON of big Q105 concerts to get excited about. From Madonna to Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones to Billy Joel, Rod Stewart to Sting, there's a show for everyone in 2024.
