According to the Herald Sun, KISS have landed in Melbourne for their eighth Australian tour. The band will perform at the finale of the Grand Prix on Sunday.
Original members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are joined by guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer for what will kick off their Kiss Alive 35 world tour.
Simmons was spotted at Brunetti's in Carlton with fans in between shooting a TV show yesterday afternoon.
The tour will celebrate the band's formation in 1973 and is their first Australian tour in four years.
The band has sold more than 90 million albums and is one of the most in-demand live acts in the world.
During their lay-off, Stanley has launched a solo career while Simmons started a reality show, Family Jewels, featuring his family.
The new series of the program, which airs on the Biography Channel in Australia, boasts the rocker has slept with 4800 women.
In Melbourne, Kiss fans can buy "pole position" tickets for the GP show, providing close access to the front of the stage as well as general admission tickets.
After the Melbourne show, the band will head to Sydney and Brisbane before a New Zealand and European tour.
