Update: KISS To Perform At Australian Grand Prix; Date Announced
October 23, 2007, 16 years ago
According to Sam Edmund from Australia's Herald Sun, in a coup for the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, KISS will play to thousands of revved-up fans at Albert Park. The outdoor concert will rock the GP after practice, qualifying or the race, from March 13-16. Singer and guitarist Paul Stanley confirmed the American band would be performing at the race. The GP show will be sandwiched between the band's big-budget stage performances across Australia and New Zealand. "We're going to Australia - we're doing the Grand Prix," Stanley said. "We're gearing up for some big shows out of the country." A spokesman for the AGPC said the full program for next year's race would be announced in November. The signing of Kiss is part of a bid by GP organisers to bounce back from last year's sluggish ticket sales. The 2008 Grand Prix will also mark the return of the V8 Supercars.
