Tour announcement: KISS skipping St. Louis on new trek
It looks like St. Louis is missing out on KISS’ upcoming tour — a plus or minus depending on how you feel about the colorful, classic rockers.
Though St. Louis isn’t on the band’s itinerary, Saskatchewan gets a date (yes, really), as does Chicago and Nashville.
The tour was fan-routed, meaning fans used the Internet to cast votes to determine where the tour will stop.
The KISS Alive 35 tour begins in Detroit Sept. 25, and runs through December. Buckcherry is also on the bill.
KISS will play its “KISS Alive” album from start to finish, and perform hits such as “Rock and Roll All Nite,” “I Was Made for Lovin’ You,” “Detroit Rock City,” and “Shout It Out Loud.”
Wal-Mart is releasing the new KISS CD, “Sonic Boom.”

This is just the first leg of the tour. KISS will be touring most of 2010. I would expect STL or KC to get a visit.
Maybe we can still send in postcards to tell Kiss that St. Louis must have the hottest band in the land. Or we can sign petitions starting this Saturday outside American Idol. Or we can demonstrate outside city hall. Or we can hold Ace Frehley hostage and safely return him to Kiss only in exchange for a concert. Or we can strap explosives to ourselves and join the band on stage in Detroit wearing Cardinals jerseys and yell over the music that there is going to be another explosion on stage if they don’t take this show to St. Louis tout de suite. I am up for anything.
I’d like to think that this speaks highly of Saint Louis.
That’s no loss to Saint Louis.
another greedy group of rock stars that use scab-mart for first cd sales. a company that has been proven to discriminate against women, force people to work off the clock for no overtime, used illegal workers to clean stores. these are not allegations, these are facts! i hope the tour is a bankrupt failure!
Good. I’m glad.
St. Louis seems to be loosing more and more mussel every decade. I saw Kiss a million times, what bothers me is loosing acts like McCartney.
