KISS's 2021 Concert History

Kiss (often stylized as KIϟϟ) is an American rock band formed in New York City in January 1973 by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss. Over the years, the members of the band changed, but Stanley, Simmons, Frehley, and Criss remain the best-known lineup. Each of these original members created a unique stage persona with distinctive face paint and costumes. Stanley was the Starchild, Simmons the demon, Frehley the Spaceman, and Criss the Catman. Coupled with its shocking live performances, which featured fire breathing, blood-spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnics, KISS remains one of the most distinguished shock-rock bands to emerge from the twentieth century.

It it possible to download the concert history of bands in here? I'd like to see all the concerts KISS have played.


Dana Reif Jun 02, 2021

I added the concert that I attended on Nov 30th, 1985 in Nashville, TN. I'm pretty sure that Black and Blue opened for them. I remember it well as it is the only time I saw Kiss, and during Eric Carr's drum solo, the PA crapped out and it took about 5 minutes to fix it. If I could add a picture, I'd post my ticket stub.

I'm sure it's a slight oversight, but KISS/Judas Priest play Roberts Stadium (Evansville, IN) on September 20, 1979 vs. January 6, 1979. I was there...thirteenth birthday present...:)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


What is Kiss?

Kiss is often considered one of earliest and most influential shock rock bands of the 1970s, following in the footsteps of artists like Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne. In its earliest years, the band members painted their faces, assumed unique on-stage personas, and engaged in a variety of theatrics from fire-breathing to pyrotechnics and much more. Eventually, the bandmates shed the face paint and assumed a less shocking on-stage persona, shifting from heavy metal and hard rock to softer rock including even pop and disco.

What genre of music is Kiss?

Kiss has produced a diverse range of music over the last several decades, often shifting between quite distinct genres. Arguably, the largest shift occurred early in the band’s days. Between 1973 and 1977, the band produced six albums that are generally categorized as heavy metal or shock rock. Dynasty, the band’s seventh albums was released on May 23, 1970 and marked a dramatic shift in the band’s sound toward disco.

While this alienated many within the existing fanbase who saw the shift from metal to disco as a betrayal to the genre, others welcomed the new sound with the album’s first single “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” peaking at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Over the next several decades, the band would continue experimenting with other genres including progressive rock, glam rock, power pop, pop rock, and much more.

Who were the original Kiss band members?

The founding members of Kiss are:

  • Gene Simmons as co-lead vocalist and bassist
  • Paul Stanley as co-lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist
  • Ace Frehley as lead guitarist and backing vocalist
  • Peter Criss as drummer and backing vocalist

What were the stage personas of the original Kiss members?

Kiss band's successful growth and establishment can largely be attributed to their use of face paint and embracing of on-stage personas. Each member created a unique persona with face-paint designed to symbolize that identity. Stanley was the Starchild, Simmons the demon, Frehley the Spaceman, and Criss the Catman.

When did Kiss start?

Kiss performed its first concert using the name “Kiss” in Queens, New York on January 30, 1973.

Where was Kiss formed?

What was the original name of the band Kiss?

What does the name "Kiss" mean?

Contrary to widespread opinion, the band's name has no particular significance. It is simply a name Stanely and the rest of the team liked.

Why did Ace Frehley leave Kiss?

Ace Frehley left Kiss in 1982 because he felt that staying in the band would do him more harm than good. At that time, Frehley had developed substance abuse issues. He believed moving away from the band and the rockstar lifestyle would help him move in a new direction and give him an opportunity to really focus on himself.

Why did Peter Criss leave Kiss?

Peter Criss left the band three times: He first left in 1980 to pursue a solo musical career. In his 2012 memoir, Criss records how he intentionally sabotaged three of the band's final stage performances before his eventual departure.

Criss reunited with Kiss in 1996 for the band’s Alive/Worldwide Tour. However, he was not welcomed back as an actual member; instead, he was considered a paid-on contract member who was paid substantially less than others who were considered full members. He left in 2001 due to a contractual disagreement with the band.

He returned again in 2002, appearing on the Kiss Symphony Alive IV DVD/CD and touring with the band during the Rocksimus Maximus Tour with Aerosmith. After the tour, Criss left the band for the third time.
