Rock'N the Park
Monday, June 21, 2010
FRISCO, Texas (June 15, 2010) - Rock'N the Park featuring rock
legend KISS and special guest Daughtry is coming to Pizza Hut Park
Saturday, Sept. 18.
During the past 37 years, KISS has sold 80 million albums and
become an American pop culture icon with classics such as "Rock and
Roll All Nite" and "Detroit Rock City".
The Hottest Show on Earth tour will trek through a mix of arenas
and amphitheaters throughout North America. KISS is also
giving back to the United States Armed Forces by donating one
dollar from each ticket sold to benefit the Wounded Warriors
Project.
Dr Pepper is a proud sponsor of the KISS tour and will be offering
exciting contests and prizes in tour markets. Watch and
listen for the Dr Pepper Cherry and KISS TV and radio spots that
will be back on the air in late June.
KISS has given some of today's now-legendary bands their first shot
by opening for the band at sold out arenas and stadiums around the
world -- AC/DC, BON JOVI, RUSH, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST and many
others. Now, the legendary rockers are partnering with Guitar
Center, the world's largest musical instrument retailer, 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. For more information,

Following the Guitar Center band at Pizza Hut Park, The Envy and
The Academy Is will each take the stage prior to the main act. Fans
can check pizzahutpark.com for upcoming announcements regarding
more special guests joining KISS and Daughtry.
For the first time, KISS will host a live internet chat on
Facebook via Ustream on June 1 to give fans an opportunity to speak
directly with the band about the tour. Users can watch and
interact by visiting the official KISS Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/KISS.
There is no other band in the vast history of rock music that has
mesmerized generations of music fans in the same way as this
revolutionary and iconoclastic quartet that continues to acquire
generations of new fans year after year.
