(Phoenix, AZ): Rock legends KISS will bring their Sonic Boom Tour to Cricket Wireless Pavilion on September 24th. Original members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have enlisted guitar player Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer into their line up. The band, famous for playing the same handful of songs year after year at their concerts has mixed up the set list and according to the band they are playing songs they’ve never played live before. The KISS Army, which has stood strong for the bands 35 year history will not doubt be in force to support their cause. The bands show is for the most part family friendly. There is an occasional moment on the big screen that is not kid friendly, but for the most part the show is appropriate for all ages. During KISS’s stop last year at Jobing.com Arena, Paul Stanley took time out to recognize the newest members of the KISS Army: The many children who were in attendance. Stanley promised them “We were there for your moms and dads, and we’ll be here for you!”.
For those who have never been to a KISS show, they are a production like no other. There is pyrotechnics that rival the Fourth of July in nearly any city, as well as bright lights and a lot of fun. Despite the fact the Simmons and Stanley both qualify for an AARP membership, you would never know it when they take the stage. Famous for their make up, the band goes on stage with as much energy as they did when they began playing years ago.
With famous hits such as Rock and Roll All Night, Beth, and Lick It Up, you can’t go wrong with buying a ticket or two and heading to the show. KISS is donating one dollar from every ticket sold to the Wounded Warrior Foundation. They are also allowing kids to come to the concert for free with each paid adult ticket.
On September 24, plan to Rock and Roll All Night
