KISS to Close Pepsi Music Festival in Chile on April 3, 2009

According to Gabe Reed, KISS will close the Pepsi Festival in Santiago, Chile on April 3, 2009 and perform for the first time in Chile in over a decade.

Dallas, TX, February 27, 2009 --(PR.com)-- KISS will close the Pepsi Festival at the Arena Movistar in Santiago, Chile on April 3, 2009 and perform for the first time in Chile in over a decade.

The show will open the first KISS tour of South America in over a decade. The tour will also include Stadium shows in Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and Peru.

KISS invented stadium rock in the 70’s with their sci-fi Kabuki costumes and make-up, explosive theatrics and, of course, their trademark platform boots. In their extensive world tours, they’ve attracted the most rabid fans: The KISS Army. The KISS legacy continues to grow, generation after generation, transcending age, race and creed. The unparalleled devotion and loyalty of the KISS Army to the “Hottest Band in the World” is a striking testament to the band’s unbreakable bond with its fans.

Now celebrating thirty-five years of rockin’ the globe, KISS founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley along with longtime band members guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer vow to bring the KISS Army in Argentina the time honored KISS spectacular that has made their performances legendary. Along with the screaming guitars, lights and pyrotechnics that have made KISS “The Greatest Rock n Roll Show On Earth”, the band brings their vast repertoire of classic music. Having sold 85 million records worldwide, KISS has become the soundtrack for a generation. In honor of their 35th anniversary, the band plans to play their KISS ALIVE album in it’s entirety as well as a few surprises and rarely played live KISS classic gems.

According to the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone magazine, more than 10,000 tickets were sold for KISS' April 5 concert in Buenos Aires within the first 24 hours of public on-sale. The stop in Chile will continue the KISS Alive/35 tour which launched in Australia with a performance at the opening season Formula One race where 60,000 race fans rushed the stage to watch KISS perform their classic hits. The tour continued on to Europe where they played shows in nineteen countries. KISS' stadium shows in Stockholm, Sweden sold 32,000 tickets in twenty minutes and shows in Helsinki, Finland and Oslo, Norway also sold out in minutes.

The band's appearance in the country was organized by Gabe Reed, Esq. and will be promoted by Jorge Villalobos, CEO of Sports Marketing, Inc and Eric Toro. Tickets are available through Punto Tickets and KISSONLINE.COM.
