KISS, AEROSMITH Planning Separate Arena Tours Next Year

October 9, 2003

Billboard.com reports that KISS and AEROSMITH are prepping separate arena tours for next year. As previously reported, AEROSMITH will also release a collection of blues-inspired songs on Columbia in early 2004.

KISS and AEROSMITH have extended their successful co-headlining tour into late December. The trek, which rolls into Mountain View, California Friday night (Oct. 10),is now slated to wrap Dec. 20 in Fresno, Calif. Several major markets will be revisited, including Boston, Detroit, New York and Los Angeles.

The KISS/AEROSMITH tour has played to 85% capacity and grossed more than $31.5 million, according to figures for 24 shows submitted to Billboard Box Score.

"There are a lot of people who see this as the tour of the year, and a lot of people want to see it," KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley told Billboard in August. "As long as everybody's enjoying themselves, that's the key to it — we always wind up going full-circle to 'this has to be enjoyable.' Fans know when you're having a great time, so as long as this is fun, we'll continue to do it. If it truly turned into the battle of the bands, we'd go home."
