KISS Confirms New Zealand Festival Appearance

November 9, 2007

According to The Dominion Post, KISS will play Wellington's Westpac Stadium in New Zealand as part of a giant two-day rock festival.

At least three other big-name overseas acts — yet to be announced — will also perform in the Rock2Wgtn festival in the stadium next Easter, March 22 and 23.

It will be the first time the stadium has hosted bands over two days. Promoter Phil Sprey, who brought Sir Elton John to the stadium last year, would not elaborate on the other acts, but said: "They're all big acts. KISS is just the only one (named) so far."

Music festivals in New Zealand sometimes include artists performing around the same time in Australia. Big names performing across the Tasman in the days before the festival include OZZY OSBOURNE and SINEAD O'CONNOR.

Sprey promised the lineup would have broad appeal and would include Kiwi acts.

"This is for baby boomers and their kids alike and will appeal to more than one generation."

He saw KISS play in Auckland in the 1970s and had always wanted to bring them back to New Zealand.

"That was a great concert."
