Lindsey Stirling first reached a national audience as a 2010 America’s Got Talent finalist — she didn’t win — and spent the years following building a YouTube presence that became, by any measure, considerably larger than anything the show could have offered her. The ninth annual Snow Waltz Holiday Tour, which comes to Landmark Theatre in Syracuse on Monday, November 30, is where that trajectory lands in 2026: a multi-platinum touring act running a three-hour production built around live violin, aerial acrobatics, choreography, and the kind of theatrical staging that requires a proper house.
About the Show
Nine editions of the Snow Waltz Tour have collectively sold over one million tickets, which is its own argument for why Stirling’s career tends to defy expectation. The Syracuse date is built around holiday programming anchored by Warmer in the Winter, her 2017 holiday album that recently achieved gold certification and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard, Amazon, and iTunes holiday charts. Its lead single, “Carol of the Bells,” was, per the tour announcement, the only instrumental song to reach the Top 10 at AC Radio. Stirling’s most recent studio work is 2024’s Duality, which featured collaborations with Royal & the Serpent and Walk Off the Earth, but this run is the Snow Waltz — and Stirling describes the aesthetic plainly: “I put a little bit of spookiness into it. I’m a big fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas as well as Harry Potter.” That framing, more than any setlist description, explains why these productions tend to feel more like theatrical events than seasonal variety programming.
The 25-city tour runs November 18 through December 23, 2026. Supporting all dates is ARKAI, a Grammy-winning violin-cellist duo and graduates of The Juilliard School who have performed at Carnegie Hall and the Grammy Museum. A dollar from each ticket goes to The Upside Fund, Stirling’s foundation focused on equitable healthcare, medical debt relief, mental health access, and nutrition education.
