Legendary masked rockers Kiss have announced they will return to U.S. arenas and amphitheaters this summer, in support of their recent album 'Sonic Boom.' In addition to songs from the new record, the group promises both an updated stage show and to dust off some fan favorite songs that have been missing from recent Kiss tours. Rather than pair up with an established rock band for this tour, Kiss will team up with Guitar Center for a contest that gives unsigned bands the chance to open up for their heroes at each of 22 shows on the 'Hottest Show on Earth' tour. A grand prize winner will also receive a $10,000 Guitar Center shopping spree.
You can get the complete list of announced Kiss summer 2010 tour dates after the break. For more details on this story and other music news, check out the links below.
