For their 2009 tour of North America, Kiss will be letting their fans decide where the band plays.
Shot on stage at their show in Brazil, the band posted a video telling their fans to go to Eventful.com and vote for the band to play in their city, no matter how big or small of a town they live in. The video can be seen here.
"
Kiss has never followed the rules — we have always broken them. Kiss has never listened to critics-we have always listened only to the fans," bassist
Gene Simmons tells
Blabbermouth.net. "
It's time to give back to the fans with bigger shows and longer set lists. And for the first time anywhere, we want our fans to tell us where they want us, and when."
Guitarist Paul Stanley adds, "No band has ever given their fans the power to decide what cities they play, and no fans deserve it more than ours. We're leaving the next U.S. and Canadian tour up to the Army. When they stand up, they will be counted!"
Fans are encouraged to keep checking back at Eventful to see what cities are in the lead in real time. Additionally, everyone who votes for their city will have the opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets when dates are announced.
Kiss is currently working on their first studio album in 11 years. It is being produced by guitarist Paul Stanley.
