KISS To Honor Hometown Military Heroes During 2016 �Freedom to Rock� Tour

Tour Will Kick Off With An Explosive Bang on July 4 at Casino Del Sol in Tucson, AZ

America�s # 1 Gold Record Award Winning Group of all time in all categories KISS have partnered with Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) and Veteran Tickets Foundation (Vet Tix) to salute members of the National Guard and military Reserve forces in over 30 U.S. cities during their 2016 �KISS: Freedom to Rock� tour.

KISS will hire a currently serving member of the National Guard or Reserve force to be a �Roadie for the Day� for each of the 32 U.S. concerts. In addition, KISS will donate a limited number of tickets to veterans in each community and distribute those tickets through VetTix.org. Veterans and their family members will also have the chance to purchase discounted tickets through Vet Tix. Military discounts will also be available at venue box offices with proof of a valid military ID in select markets around the country. Please note this offer is not available in all cities.

The U.S �KISS: Freedom to Rock� tour stops are all home to a large number of Army and Air National Guard or Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps Reserve members. Since September 2001, hundreds of thousands of Guards and Reserve members have been recalled to active duty, and many have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Nearly 900 of these brave men and women made the ultimate sacrifice.

KISS� founder Paul Stanley said �KISS is celebrating our �Freedom To Rock� tour this summer; the same freedom that�s been upheld by our veterans and active duty service members�

KISS� other mastermind Gene Simmons stated, �We are proud to partner with HOH and Vet Tix to highlight the incredible commitment and sacrifices of hometown heroes serving in the National Guard and Reserve forces. Many of these heroes have given a lot�and some have given all�and we will honor them in every town we tour.�

From the President of Hiring Our Heroes and a Vice President at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, �Our members of the National Guard and Reserve are called upon at a moment�s notice and they drop everything to respond. It is fitting that we honor these often invisible heroes in their communities and hometowns as part of the �Freedom to Rock� tour,� said Eric Eversole.

�Getting the opportunity to partner with Hall of Fame rockers is an amazing opportunity,� said Mike Focareto, CEO of Vet Tix. �KISS fans get much more than live music and a pyrotechnics show; they get a chance to create unforgettable memories with their family and friends. We�re excited to make this experience possible to our Vet Tix family.�

CADILLAC � Since 1975, the legendary rock band KISS has held a spot in the hearts of Cadillac residents. The group was booked to play at homecoming by Jim Neff, who was the assistant football coach at Cadillac High School at the time.

On Saturday, June 18, Neff will guide the first ever KISStory Tour, where five permanent "KISStorical markers" will be placed at major sites around the city where fans and residents can get a better impression of where KISS interacted with Cadillac.

The five sites include the old city hall building, the Sweet Shop, Veteran's Memorial Stadium, the CHS north gym, and the Cadillac News. On the tour, participants will see the only KISS monument in the world. The monument is a laser-etched granite touchstone more than 8 feet tall, 5 feet wide and roughly 5,000 pounds.

A fan luncheon will follow the tour at Hermann's European Cafe downtown, where fans can meet and mingle. A KISS Tour lunch special for $17 includes a KISSCadillac T-shirt. Seats for the luncheon can be reserved by calling Hermann's at (231) 775-9563. A menu and details are available at kisscadillac.com.

The Cadillac KISStory Tour will begin at 10 a.m. at Cadillac High School on Saturday, June 18. Fans will receive a tour brochure, have opportunities to take photos and be able to talk to Jim Neff.

Other surprise plans are also in the works. For details, follow the KISSCadillac Facebook page.

Excepts from an article by  Uttoxeter Advertiser

SOME of the biggest names in rock now really are larger than life as VIPs to this weekend's Download Festival are in for a treat.

Each rock star was individually crafted by 12 second year students on Birmingham City University's Design for Theatre, Performance and Events degree course.

Student Bella Jackson Moss said: "We had to come together as a team and work really hard. The unique opportunity to sculpt some of the biggest names in rock was challenging, but enjoyable, and to be able to commemorate the late Lemmy Kilmister was also a great honour."

Held annually at Donnington Park in Leicestershire, Download is Britain's most popular summer rock and heavy metal festival, welcoming 110,000 music fans over its three days.

Following a brief set by University tutors and the Festival organizers, the students used techniques learned on the course to carve and fibreglass the seven figures in to shape. The caricatures were then painted and latexed to withstand the elements as part of a process that took three weeks to design, create and install at Donnington Park.
