This year, the rock powerhouse will bring back their legendary holiday show, The Ghosts of Christmas Eve: The Best of TSO & More, to life with a special production, featuring a second set of hits and fan favorites, including a 25th-anniversary salute to Beethoven’s Last Night. Kicking off on November 13, the tour will span 64 cities with 106 performances before concluding on December 30, continuing TSO’s tradition of delivering an unparalleled fusion of rock, classical, and theatrical spectacle — complete with pyros, lasers, and the powerful storytelling that has captured the hearts of generations.

The 2025 TSO tour promises a reimagined and expanded presentation of the beloved holiday show, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve”. A product of the imagination of TSO’s late founder Paul O’Neill and based on TSO’s multi-platinum DVD TV special, “The Ghosts of Christmas Eve” follows the journey of a runaway child who breaks into an abandoned vaudeville theater on December 24th. Following this powerful rock opera, the 2025 tour will also deliver a visually

stunning second set packed with more of TSO’s greatest hits, fan-favorites, and unexpected delights to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Beethoven’s Last Night.

But that’s not all for this year! TSO is also happy to announce the return of a fan-favorite tradition: the TSO signing line! For the first time since 2019, every fan attending an evening performance will have the incredible opportunity to get one item signed by members of the group, completely free of charge.

Building on the monumental milestones celebrated in their last tour, TSO continues to redefine its success. With over 20 million concert tickets sold and a staggering more than $20 million donated to charity since their inception, TSO remains one of rock’s most generous bands, proudly upholding Paul O’Neill’s vision, by contributing at least $1 from every ticket sold to local charities.

Qfm96 Presents ZOSO at KEMBA Live!

Qfm96 presents ZOSO – The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience! Coming to KEMBA Live! on Friday, January 9th, 2026! Tickets on sale now at AXS.com

Doors open at 7:00pm

Zoso: The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience

 Celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2025, Zoso has become one of the most iconic and respected Led Zeppelin tribute experiences in the world, having played over 4,800 shows across the globe. Known for their unparalleled dedication to faithfully recreating the legendary band’s live performances, Zoso has earned accolades from both critics and fans alike.

Zoso’s live performances focus on the raw energy and intricate musicality of Led Zeppelin’s best-known hits and deeper tracks, with a particular emphasis on recreating their live show experience. The band’s commitment to authenticity has earned them praise from major outlets, with the LA Times calling them “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tributes,” and the St. Petersburg Times describing them as “the most exacting of all the Led Zeppelin tributes.”

The band was founded in 1995 by Matt Jernigan and Adam Sandling, both of whom are renowned for their exceptional musicianship and passion for Led Zeppelin’s music. Jernigan, who takes on the colossal role of Robert Plant, has a commanding stage presence that rivals the icon himself. Sandling, who brings John Paul Jones to life, masterfully plays bass, keyboards, and mandolin, replicating the multifaceted talent of the Zeppelin legend.

In 2015, Bevan Davies joined Zoso on drums to master the part of John Bonham. An accomplished touring and studio drummer with a resume that includes playing with such artists as Danzig, Jerry Cantrell (of Alice in Chains), and Static X and many more. Davies brings an unmistakable power and precision to Zoso’s live shows, helping the band recreate Bonham’s legendary drum sound. His performance of Bonham’s legendary Moby Dick is something to behold.

In 2025, at the age of 24, Holston Rainero joined the band, taking on the monumental guitar role of Jimmy Page. A fan of Zoso, Rainero didn’t let an opportunity slip away when he learned of an opening in the band’s lineup. His story read like something straight out of a movie script; Rainero reached out directly to the band through social media to request an audition. While dozens of musicians had already contacted the band with no success, Rainero’s determination set him apart.

Refusing to take no for an answer, he began uploading videos of himself playing classic songs from the band in his bedroom. It didn’t take long for the band to recognize his extraordinary talent. His playing was not just skilled, it was a truly inspired performance, with the technical mastery and soul that made it clear he was something special.

The band immediately got him to Atlanta for an in-person audition. Rainero, ever ready, arrived with his bags packed, knowing he was prepared to seize the moment. His live audition exceeded all expectations, and within days, he was on tour with the band, stepping into one of rock history’s most iconic roles.

After starting out 2025 touring with Zakk Wylde on the Zakk Sabbath tour. The band has now embarked on its 30th anniversary headlining tour. New dates for the tour are being added every week with the hopes of reaching 150 shows this year.

Qfm96 presents Spaceman-An Ace Frehley Tribute!

Qfm96 presents Spaceman: A Tribute to Ace Frehley!

Coming to Ace of Cups on Saturday, February 7th, 2026!

PURCHASE TICKETS HERE! 

The rock and roll world lost an icon on October 16, 2025. Ace Frehley, best known for his fiery guitar work as a founding member of the New York rock band Kiss, passed away at the age of 74. An inspiration to millions of musicians, Ace’s musical contributions, smoking guitar licks, and spaceman persona were an integral part of the meteoric rise to fame that Kiss experienced in the 1970s. Ace experienced massive success as a solo artist once in 1978 with his Kiss solo album being the best-selling of the group, landing Ace his first hit single with New York Groove, and again after he left Kiss in 1982 where he would go on to release multiple successful albums, selling millions of records and breaking into rock charts well into his later years of life.

On February 7th, 2026, a group of some of Columbus, Ohio’s finest consisting of Cody Schrecengost, Tommy McCullough, Tristan Woodruff, and Zane Harden will take the stage at Ace of Cups to celebrate the life, legacy, and music of the man from outer space, Ace Frehley.

Playing a mix of some of Ace Frehley’s best and most beloved work, central Ohio rock fans can expect to hear faithful renditions of songs from the early days of Kiss that Ace wrote and helped
to make iconic, cuts from his best-selling 1978 solo album, and a mix of tracks from his successful solo career.

Taking the part of lead guitar and vocals is Cody Schrecengost. Best known for his run as the founding member and lead guitarist of the central Ohio rock band, Rumspringa, Schrecengost excited crowds with an energetic stage presence, classic blues rock influenced guitar work and went on to be a two-time Qfm96 House Band finalist in 2020 and 2022. Influenced heavily by Ace Frehley, Schrecengost returns to the stage in 2026 to pay tribute to his idol who he credits as the reason he started playing guitar.

Bringing an unmistakable power and precision to this group of musicians, Tommy McCullough will be manning the drum kit. McCullough made a name for himself as the drummer of the highly successful Columbus, Ohio rock band and 2019 Qfm96 House Band, South of Eden, who created thousands of fans touring across the United States with a dedication to creating music in the same way, and with the same energy that rock legends of old did. McCullough aims to excite central Ohio rock fans in February with drum work that is every bit as powerful as it is iconic.

A jack of many trades and a two-time Qfm96 House Band finalist, Tristan Woodruff will be holding down the low end on bass guitar. Making a name for himself in central Ohio as a multi-instrumentalist, Woodruff has found himself behind the drum kit for Rumspringa and The Lonely Ones, playing multiple instruments in Myrna Rose and Neverdawn, as well as playing bass for Cozen. Woodruff brings a versatility to this show that will aim to recreate and pay homage to some of rock’s most iconic basslines.

Handling the duties of the second guitarist is Zane Harden. Harden, a versatile guitarist influenced by the likes of Slash, brings a powerful tone and groove to this group of musicians. Harden is known for his guitar work in multiple Ohio rock groups, including his current band, Black Hat, that has been gigging around the central Ohio area for the past few years. Harden’s guitar work will fill out the sound of this group with precision and harmony.

Schrecengost, McCullough, Woodruff, Harden, as well as all of us at Qfm96 invite you to Ace of Cups on February 7th, 2026, to celebrate the life and music of Ace Frehley in the best way we know how, by playing his music loud and ensuring that his musical spirit lives on.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will be touring an all-new stage production across North America with their catalog of global chart-topping hits, including “Don’t Stop Believin”, “Any Way You Want It”, “Faithfully”, “Lights” and more in a celebration of legacy, love and the fans who made it all possible.

JOURNEY features founder Neal Schon (lead guitarist), Jonathan Cain (keyboards, backing vocals), Arnel Pineda (lead vocals) Jason Derlatka (keyboards, vocals), Deen Castronovo (drums, vocals) and Todd Jensen (bass).

Jon Cain is a recipient of two BMI songwriter awards and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Journey.

“This tour is our heartfelt thank you to the fans who’ve been with us every step of the way — through every song, every era, every high and low,” said Journey founder Neal Schon. “We’re pulling out all the stops with a brand-new production — the hits, the deep cuts, the energy, the spectacle. It’s a full-circle celebration of the music that’s brought us all together.”

“As its founding member, I carry the Journey torch to this day, wherever I go. The sentiment and spirit of the band will always remain,” Schon added. “While this marks a farewell to one powerful chapter of the Journey we’ve shared, I want everyone to know I’m not done. Music is still burning strong inside me, and there are new creative horizons ahead. This tour is both a thank you and the beginning of what’s next.”

“It’s been an incredible ride,” added Jonathan Cain, “We’ve shared our music with millions, and this tour is about gratitude, connection and one last chance to feel that magic together. We wouldn’t want it any other way.”

“I’m honored to be part of this legacy and I’m grateful for having been welcomed with such open arms,” says Arnel Pineda. “Every night on stage has been a dream come true.”
