Since its beginnings, TSO has helped introduce generations of fans to the multi-dimensional art form of the rock opera. The group has sold more than 10 million albums and performed for more than 100 million people in more than 80 cities.

A Longstanding Council Bluffs Tradition

The annual tradition also gives back to the community. One dollar from every ticket sold goes to local charities, with the tour contributing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the community over the years.
