Whether you like pop, classical, R&B or rock music, there’s a holiday tour out there for you. Which acts are playing and where? Check out Headlines & Global News’ handy guide below to find out!

The Brain Setzer Orchestra: Christmas Rocks! Tour
Brian Setzer was a punk with the Stray Cats, but with his eponymously named orchestra, he delivers fun and contemporary versions of the top Christmas tunes for the whole family. (“The trick is to make them sound hip,” he said.) For Setzer’s 12th annual holiday jaunt, he and his 18-piece band are bringing yuletide music old and new (he recently released the album “Rockin’ Rudolph”) — along with top hits from throughout his career — to 31 towns.
