Pentatonix is coming back to Baltimore for the holidays. The Grammy-winning vocal group announced a new leg of its Christmas in the City tour, and the run includes a stop at CFG Bank Arena on December 3, 2026.
The Baltimore date is one of 28 arena shows across North America in November and December, according to WBFF. The tour kicks off November 5 at the Tacoma Dome in Washington state and wraps up December 22 in Los Angeles, as reported by Consequence. This marks the first time the group's holiday arena show has crossed into Canada, with stops planned for Vancouver on November 7 and Hamilton, Ontario on November 22, per US Rocker.
For Baltimore fans keeping track, the timing carries a bit of symmetry. Pentatonix last played CFG Bank Arena on December 3, 2023, during their Most Wonderful Tour Of The Year run — meaning the newly announced 2026 show falls exactly three years later to the day.
Ticket Presales Start Next Week
The rollout of ticket access begins with sign-ups for the artist presale, which opened Thursday at 10 a.m. ET, according to WBFF's report. A Pentatonix Patreon member presale follows on August 10 at 10 a.m., then the artist presale itself runs August 11 at 10 a.m. Local, promoter, and venue presales are scheduled for August 12 at 10 a.m., with VIP packages going on sale August 14 at 10 a.m. local time.
General public tickets go on sale that same day, August 14, at 10 a.m. local time. VIP packages may include perks such as an official Q&A with the group, an invitation to the pre-show Pentatonix Winter Village, a mini pre-show performance, and a special autographed item, per the outlet's report.
New Deluxe Album Arrives This Fall
The tour accompanies a deluxe edition of the group's 2025 album, Christmas in the City, due out October 30. The expanded release adds 10 new songs to the original 16-track album, including two covers, seven live recordings, and a new single called Get Happy / Happy Days Are Here Again, according to the same WBFF account. That original version of the album debuted at number six on the Billboard Top Holiday Albums chart after its release in October 2025, per Wikipedia, and stands as Pentatonix's eighth Christmas album.
Founding member Kirstin Maldonado said the new single was fun to create, adding that the mashup fits perfectly into the album's homage to classic Christmas tunes and the jazz era, per WBFF's report. Maldonado, who also returned to Broadway in the cast of the Tony Award-winning musical Six in March 2022 according to Broadway World, contributes lead vocal arrangements to the group's holiday mashups.
A Charitable Partnership And A Renovated Arena
Pentatonix is partnering with the music education nonprofit Save The Music for the tour, and fans will have the chance to make a charitable donation to the organization during ticket purchase on select shows, per WBFF. Save The Music is a national nonprofit founded in 1997 that has donated nearly $75 million in instruments and technology to more than 2,800 public schools, according to Charity Navigator.
Baltimore's CFG Bank Arena, owned by the City of Baltimore and operated by Oak View Group, reopened on April 7, 2023, after a $250 million private renovation that expanded concert seating capacity to 14,000, as detailed by Baltimore Fishbowl. The upgrade helps explain why arena-scale holiday productions like Pentatonix's continue to route through the downtown venue.
The Daytime Emmy-nominated, three-time Grammy-winning vocal quintet has sold nearly 10 million albums worldwide, placed nine albums in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, and racked up more than 6.8 billion YouTube views, according to All American Speakers. The group also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in February 2023, a milestone noted by Wikipedia. Hoodline previously covered the group's 2024 holiday tour announcement, part of an annual tradition of late-year arena runs the group has kept up for years.
