KISS Maps Out Alive 35 TourSource: www.fmqb.com
KISS has rolled out the dates for the KISS ALIVE 35 North American tour. The trek kicks off with a multiple-show engagement in "Detroit Rock City" beginning September 25, where KISS will be playing the entire classic album that started it all: KISS ALIVE! The tour leg will then hit more than 40 other cities before concluding in December. The show will feature a new stage set, KISS' signature over-the-top pyro and all new costumes. Fans will hear a 2½ hour set of both classics like “Rock and Roll All Nite,” "I Was Made for Lovin’ You," "Detroit Rock City" and "Shout It Out Loud" as well as songs from the band’s new album, Sonic Boom, due October 6. Buckcherry will be the main support on all dates.
"For 35 years, KISS raised the bar for what a rock concert should really be," said Gene Simmons. "This year is no different – all new, all killer… all KISS! The master’s class in rock is in session! KISS rules."
Paul Stanley added, "Bigger IS better! 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!"
As previously reported, Sonic Boom will be a Walmart exclusive release. Sonic Boom, produced by Stanley, is the centerpiece of a three-disc set that also features a completely re-recorded greatest hits CD as well as a live DVD shot in Argentina during the KISS ALIVE 35 tour. The first single from the new album, "Modern Day Delilah," hit radio last week.
