Paul Stanley said: "I've loved Australia since the very first time I visited. It is one of the greatest secrets on earth and probably better to keep it that way. The food, wine and women are all extraordinary and everyone has always welcomed me and made me feel like it is home."
KISS has just completed a Japanese tour, which coincided with the release of a collaboration single with the country�s famous all-girl group Momoiro Clover Z. The song �Yumeno Ukiyoni Saitemina� (Samurai Son) � composed by Paul Stanley � hit #1 on the Japanese charts introducing KISS to a whole new generation of fans. The tour ended with a show for 40,000 fans at the Tokyo Dome last week, featuring the Momoiro Clover Z girls joining KISS for the encore.
With countless timeless hits like �Rock�n�Roll All Nite�, �I Was Made For Loving You�, �Detroit Rock City�, �Love Gun�, �Shout It Out Loud�, �Lick It Up� and �God Gave Rock�n�Roll To You�, the KISS legacy continues to grow, generation after generation.
A KISS concert is like no other, and with tickets starting from just $98, it�s an extravaganza that everyone needs to experience!
Special guests are The Dead Daisies, a powerful musical collective created by a rotating line-up that features some of the world�s best rock musicians. This tour features Richard Fortus (Guns N' Roses, The Psychedelic Furs), Marco Mendoza (Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake), John Corabi (Mötley Cr�e, RATT), Dizzy Reed (Guns N' Roses, Hookers & Blow), David Lowy (MINK, Red Phoenix) and Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol). The band supported KISS on part of their US tour last year and are currently recording their second studio album in Australia to be released in June 2015.
