KISS unleashes fall Alive 35 tour dates
KISS has revealed tour dates for the band's fall US tour in support of "Sonic Boom," the venerable rockers' first new studio album in 11 years.
The North American portion of the group's "KISS Alive 35" tour (the number refers to the band's 35th anniversary) kicks off Sept. 25 and 26 in Detroit, and continues through early December, with highlights including stops in New York City (10/10), Atlanta (10/26) and Los Angeles (11/25) before the tour concludes Dec. 6 in Dallas. Dates for the 39-city outing are included below.
Tickets for the opening pair of Detroit shows are currently on sale, while an initial batch of pre-sales have gone up at the band's website. KISS Army members are also eligible to purchase VIP Meet & Greet packages through the group's site.
Last week, the band announced that "Sonic Boom," the first new KISS studio album since 1998's "Psycho Circus," will be sold in the US and Canada exclusively at Walmart, Walmart.com and Sam's Club stores.
The new album will be part of a three-disc set scheduled for release Oct. 6. Filling out the package, which will sell for $12, will be a re-recorded greatest hits CD and a live DVD shot in Argentina during the band's recent "KISS Alive 35" South American tour.
"Sonic Boom" was produced by KISS co-founder Paul Stanley in Los Angeles. Filling out the band's lineup are fellow co-founding member Gene Simmons, along with guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer, who replace departed original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, respectively.
"'Sonic Boom' may be the best new record we've done since 'Destroyer'!" Simmons said in a press release. "It is 'Rock And Roll Over' meets 'Love Gun.'"
The first single from the set, "Modern Day Delilah," reached radio airwaves earlier this month. The track is the band's first single since 1999's "You Wanted the Best."
