HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Legendary rockers Kiss are bringing their "Hottest Show on Earth" tour back to North America.
The band will return to U.S. arenas and amphitheaters this summer, beginning with a July 23 date at Cheyenne Frontier Days in Wyoming.
The legendary rockers are also partnering with Guitar Center for Guitar Center On-Stage, an unsigned band competition that will provide emerging artists the chance to open for Kiss at 22 of the band’s tour stops. In addition, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will choose one grand-prize winner to receive a $10,000 Guitar Center shopping spree, among other prizes.
Kiss said it will perform several hits that have been missing from recent U.S. tours, to go along with such classics as "Detroit Rock City" and "Rock and Roll All Nite."
Tickets for the Live Nation-produced tour will go on sale in select markets beginning June 4 at LiveNation.com.
