Music in the Midlands: Kiss, Buckcherry, Fitz and The Tantrums, Headbangers Bash
Kiss: End of the Road World Tour
Get ready to rock and roll all night because Kiss is coming to town.
Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons formed the band in 1973 and it has stood the test of time with their theatrics. Shows filled with fire-breathing, smoking guitars, levitating drums and pyrotechnics have thrilled audiences for decades. And now the painted-faced, leather-wearing musicians are on their last world tour.
The End of the Road World Tour kicked off Jan. 30 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, and will make stops in Charlottesville, Va., Greensboro, N.C., and Columbia before wrapping up in New York City on July 17, 2021.
Kiss, along with David Lee Roth, will play the Colonial Life Arena, 801 Lincoln St., at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 11. Tickets start at $49. Details: www.coloniallifearena.com.
