Will Halifax Get KISSed?From: Times-Transcript Posted: January 13, 2009 Rumours that legendary rock group KISS will perform an outdoor show in Halifax got much louder yesterday as a Halifax promoter began circulating teaser advertisements for the show. Advertisements scheduled to appear in today's Times & Transcript were telling readers to check a website for more information, but that website was not up and running yesterday afternoon. The ads simply say "get ready" and include the well-known makeup faces of KISS members GENE SIMMONS and PAUL STANLEY. Harold MacKay, a Halifax promoter associated with Power Promotional Concepts in Dartmouth, was not available for comment yesterday. The ads seem to lend more credence to the rumour that KISS will appear in Halifax. KISS co-founder and bassist GENE SIMMONS was quoted recently by news media saying a short summer tour was planned for the rock icons next summer, including a date in Halifax. "I know Halifax is one," Simmons said. So far, officials in Halifax have been quiet about the possibility. A check of the official KISS website shows no concert dates for 2009. Officials with the City of Moncton and Donald K. Donald have said an announcement for a summer concert at the Magnetic Hill site would be coming soon. Although there have been no announcements, the most widely-believed rumour is that this year's headliners could be AC/DC or U2. Both groups have new albums and are expected to do full-blown world tours this year. One might say KISS owes the East Coast some dates. The band played here in 1976 on April 18 (Moncton) and April 19 (Halifax), and in 1977 on July 8 (Halifax) and July 9 (Moncton). The band was due to return for shows Oct. 21-23 in 1990 in Sydney, Halifax and Moncton, but cancelled when guitarist PAUL STANLEY injured himself on tour. |
