PENTATONIX RELEASE STUDIO ALBUM ‘CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY’ & Tour

Channeling the energy of the Big Apple during Christmastime, this 16-track body of work finds Pentatonix in a creative sweet spot as they reimagine a handful of seasonal favorites, serve up quite a few originals, and deliver a couple of once-in-a-lifetime collaborations. Among many highlights, the history-making quintet shine next to none other than Frank Sinatra on “I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm.” For the first time ever, the group have collaborated with Sinatra on a never before heard recording of this staple, tipping a hat to the Chairman of the Board and taking flight alongside him. Then there’s “Snowing in Paris” where they get cozy on the track with fellow vocal dynamo JoJo. It has all the makings of a 21st century holiday classic with its bold chorus and vivid storytelling. Pentatonix breathe fresh energy into a snowy “Silver Bells” and hummable “Holly Jolly Christmas” in addition to sliding a showstopping “Christmas Classics Medley” under the tree. Although this is their ninth holiday release, Christmas in the City stands out as the first time the group has added instruments to their music instead of performing entirely a capella. It’s a new chapter for the group, one that expands their sound while staying true to the heart of what fans love most.
About the record, Scott Hoying said, “We are really excited about this album because it feels like such a big, bold, and fresh choice for us. We were so inspired by the feeling of New York City during the holidays and wanted to make a record that encapsulated that feeling of warmth, excitement, and timelessness. The process of arranging, recording and making this album felt like the magic of when Pentatonix first started making music together. We hope the fans love it.”

Following last year’s #1 holiday film on Netflix, “Meet Me Next Christmas” and a blockbuster arena run including their first Sold Out Madison Square Garden, Pentatonix plans to follow it up this November on what promises to be their boldest, brightest, and biggest tour yet – the Christmas in the City Tour! It will kick off on November 8th in West Valley City, Utah at Maverik Center, rolling through major arenas such as UBS Arena in New York, and concludes with two hometown shows on December 21st and December 22nd in Fort Worth, TX at Dickies Arena.

About Pentatonix
As one of the most innovative, inventive, and inimitable vocal groups of all time, Pentatonix reimagine, reinvigorate, and redefine a cappella. Since emerging in 2011, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning and Daytime EMMY® Award-nominated vocal quintet—Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola, and Matt Sallee—have reached unprecedented heights, toppling charts, selling 10 million albums worldwide, generating billions of streams, and performing everywhere from The White House and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to The Hollywood Bowl. Their catalog boasts back-to-back #1 albums on the Billboard 200—namely the gold-certified Pentatonix [2015] and platinum-certified A Pentatonix Christmas [2016]—and has amassed 30 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Internationally, their releases performed equally as well with five albums being certified gold, platinum, or double platinum in Canada and ranking in the Top 40 albums six times in New Zealand. Their single, “Hallelujah” also achieved international success as a platinum-certified single in Canada and gold-certified in Germany and Switzerland. They notably made history as “the first a cappella act to win ‘Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Cappella’ at the GRAMMY® Awards” in 2015 and 2016. A year later, they earned another GRAMMY® Award in the category “Best Country Duo/Group Performance” for their duet with Dolly Parton on her song “Jolene.”
Along the way, the collective also graced the stage of The Kennedy Center Honors for Tom Hanks, covering “That Thing You Do” as President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama watched from the crowd. They have collaborated with Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, and Lindsey Stirling, to name a few. Beyond standout awards show and late-night television appearances, Pentatonix leapt onto the big screen with a cameo in the blockbuster Pitch Perfect 2. They have supported organizations such as Make-A-Wish, Do it for the Love Foundation, and more. The quintet reached milestone after milestone with 2021’s Evergreen and 2022’s Holidays Around The World, with each album and accompanying tour setting new records for Pentatonix. In 2023, the group received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame before closing out the year with a North American Christmas Tour in support of their holiday greatest hits album, The Greatest Christmas Hits. Last year, Pentatonix starred in the Netflix holiday romcom, Meet Me Next Christmas. Their new album Christmas in the City is out now via Republic Records.
