The wait is over – the KISS tour dates have been revealed. The ‘Alive 35‘ tour takes the band to over 40 cities this fall, kicking off with two late September shows at the soon-to-be-closed Cobo Hall in Detroit. The fun continues with stops into Canada, American cities like Minneapolis and Chicago, and doesn’t end until December 6 in Dallas. It’s mostly major markets for this tour, so smaller cities like Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan that ranked in the top five during the fan-routed tour promotion are not included – at least not yet.

The band still aims to deliver on its promise to the smaller towns who voted to bring KISS to their local arena. “The fans have spoken, the votes have been tabulated, and the waiting is over as KISS unveils the first markets” reads the press release. A secondary market tour could be in the works for the spring, although the KISS camp has yet to confirm it.
