CONTINENT TO BE ROCKED BY NEW STAGING, COSTUMES & A SET OF HITS PLUS SONGS FROM NEW ALBUM SONIC BOOM
As they celebrate 35 years of rockin', KISS today announced the dates of the KISS ALIVE 35 North American tour. The tour kicks off with a rapidly-selling, special multiple-show engagement in Detroit
Rock City beginning September 25th, where KISS will be playing the classic album that started it all: KISS ALIVE! The tour leg will then hit more than 40 additional cities before concluding in
December.
This incredible show will feature a new stage set, pyro effects that only the "hottest band in the world" could deliver, and all new costumes. Fans will be treated to a 2 1/2 hour set of rocks
greatest hits, including "Rock and Roll All Nite," "I Was Made for Lovin' You," "Detroit Rock City," "God Gave Rock & Roll to You" and "Shout It Out Loud," as well as songs from the band's new
album SONIC BOOM. Buckcherry will be main support on all of the KISS ALIVE 35 North American dates.
Said Gene Simmons, "For 35 years, KISS raised the bar for what a rock concert should really be. This year is no different - all new, all killer... all KISS! The master's class in rock is in session!
KISS rules. Oh yeah!"
"Bigger IS better!" said Paul Stanley. "SONIC BOOM is our future and KISS Alive is our proud past. On this tour you get KISS Alive plus a slew of other classics and soon to be classics. New stage,
new battle gear and a pyro arsenal that will again show everyone that there is only one KISS!"
KISS ALIVE 35 NORTH AMERICAN 2009 Tour:
DATE CITY VENUE ON-SALE HERE
18-05-09
Attention KISS Army!
Celebrating its 35th Anniversary this year, legendary band KISS has just wrapped up yet another leg of their hard-rocking international trek that is dazzling fans around the world. Just like last
spring's record-breaking European stadium tour, the band played to die-hard legions of the KISS Army in South America last month, while preparing to take on North America this fall. From the
Hipodroma la Rinconada in Caracas, Venezuela to the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, KISS treated fans to a set of some of rock's greatest hits, including 'Rock and Roll All Nite,'
'Detroit Rock City', 'God Gave Rock & Roll to You', 'Shout It Out Loud', and more. The group's 2009 South American tour also included sold-out stadium shows in Santiago, Chile; Rio de Janeiro and
Sao Paulo, Brazil; Bogota, Columbia and Lima, Peru.
KISS taped a major announcement for their North American fans live on the stage at Santiago, Chile's Arena Movistar. The major broadcast announced that, following the massive success of the South
American concerts, the band's upcoming US and Canadian tour will be the world's first to put fans in charge of where their favorite artist plays. And just for voting for their town, all KISS fans
will have the opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets prior to the general on-sale, among other envy-inducing incentives.
Now, fans have just six more weeks--until voting ends on June 30th - to "demand" where KISS will perform at www.eventful.com/kiss. No matter where the fans say--"from stadiums to cornfields" - if
there are enough votes, KISS will be there! And in order to keep the competition fair for smaller cities, final site selection will weigh population size versus total votes.
More than 8,000 individual cities across North America have already mounted their own unique campaigns to bring KISS to their venues, with dozens of radio stations promoting the contest and tour as
well. For example, Chief of Police Stephen Tanner of Kingston, Ontario has offered to personally escort KISS to and from the concert in the city's official 1952 Chevrolet classic car. Not to be
outdone, Kingston's Fort Henry site has invited the band as special guests to set off one of their revered 1867 military cannons - which would make the KISS members the only people ever, outside of
the military and Fort employees, to fire these historical weapons.
In addition to joining in on the major campaigns launched by rock radio in each city, fans are also incentivized to create their own viral videos online, motivating their fellow residents to
participate in casting votes for a KISS show in their city. City-specific "best-of" compilation reels of these videos will be shown on jumbo screens at venues before each concert.
KISS will release the name of their fall tour support act on May 29th at www.kissonline.com
KISS is currently recording its first new studio album in 11 years (produced by Paul Stanley). The band will release exciting news about the album at www.kissonline.com in early June.
Dopo l'incredibile successo dell'ALIVE35 Tour in Sud America i KISS annunceranno il nome del gruppo di supporto per il prossimo tour il 29 di Maggio e i primi giorni di Giugno riveleranno fantastiche
notizie in merito al nuovo album!!!
Fan Votes at Eventful to Determine U.S. and Canadian Cities Where
Legendary Rockers KISS Will Perform on 2009 Tour
Sao Paulo, Brazil (April 6, 2009) - KISS is celebrating 35 years of rockin' the world like no other band has ever done before. The legendary band, currently touring soccer stadiums of South America,
announced from Brazil today that their upcoming U.S. and Canadian tour will be the world's first to put fans in charge of where their favorite artist plays. By partnering with Eventful, the leading
social media company for events, fans will "Demand" where KISS will perform on their latest trek across the top-voted North American markets beginning this September. No matter where the fans
say--from stadiums to cornfields--if there are enough votes, KISS will be there! And in order to keep the competition fair for smaller cities, final site selection will weigh population size versus
total votes.
Today at the zero hour of exactly 3:00 PM EDT, an official video announcement by the band's Paul Stanley, Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer and Gene Simmons (see video at www.KISSonline.com) kicks off this first-ever promotion. Immediately following the video's debut run, fans across the U.S. and Canada can cast their votes at www.eventful.com/KISS to have their town included on the KISS 2009 North American tour. Fans will be able to vote, and check the tally of what
cities are in the lead, 24/7 across the Web at the previous sites; as well as on KISS' MySpace and Facebook, Ticketmaster's KISS page, VH1Classic.com, and many more.
Even after garnering more than 30 gold and platinum records and in excess of 90 million albums sold worldwide, KISS continues to prove the band makes the fans their #1 priority.
"KISS has never followed the rules--we have always broken them. KISS has never listened to critics-we have always listened only to the fans," said Gene Simmons. "It's time to give back to the fans
with bigger shows and longer set lists. And for the first time anywhere, we want our fans to tell us where they want us, and when."
Said Paul Stanley, "No band has ever given their fans the power to decide what cities they play, and no fans deserve it more than ours. We're leaving the next U.S. and Canadian tour up to the Army.
When they stand up, they will be counted!"
Just for voting for their town, all KISS fans will have the opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets prior to the general on-sale. In addition to joining in on the major campaigns launched by rock
radio in each city, fans are also incentivized to create their own viral videos online, motivating their fellow residents to participate in casting votes for a KISS show in their city. City-specific
"best-of" compilation reels of these videos will be shown on jumbo screens at venues before each concert.
On this upcoming tour, fans will be treated to a set of some of rock's greatest hits, including "Rock and Roll All Nite," "I Was Made for Lovin' You," "Detroit Rock City," "God Gave Rock & Roll
to You" and "Shout It Out Loud," among many others. The band is currently recording its first new studio album in 11 years (produced by Paul Stanley).
