Chicago’s holiday season will get a boost from three-time Grammy-winners Pentatonix, who today announced they’ll be kicking off their 2017 Christmas tour in the Windy City with performances Dec. 3-5 at the Chicago Theatre.

Tickets ($35-$149.50) for “A Pentatonix Christmas” will go on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 25 online at ticketmaster.com or at the theater box office, 175 N. State.
