The initial press release for the show states: Gillett Entertainment Group is pleased to announce the return of the legendary rock band KISS on Monday, July 13th at The Bell Centre (Montreal, Quebec).

KISS is regarded as one of the most influential rock and roll bands of all-time. Their career milestones are staggering. KISS holds honors as one of America’s top gold record champions, recording 36 albums over 32 years selling over 75 million albums worldwide. Over thirty years of record-breaking tours around the globe include high-profile appearances at Super Bowl XXXIII, the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and most recently, the 2005 Rockin’ The Corps concert dedicated to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The KISS legacy continues to grow, generation after generation, transcending age, race and creed. The unparalleled devotion and loyalty of the KISS Army to the “Hottest Band in the World” is a striking testament to the band’s unbreakable bond with its fans.

KISS invented stadium rock in the 70's. Along with the screaming guitars, lights and pyrotechnics that have made KISS “The Greatest Rock n Roll Show on Earth”. In honor of their 35th anniversary, the band plans to play their hits as well as a few surprises and rarely played live KISS classic gems.

KISS founders GENE SIMMONS and PAUL STANLEY, along with longtime band members guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer, vow to bring to Montreal the KISS spectacular that has made their performances legendary.
