Kiss is hitting the road this summer, taking its act to numerous cities it hasn’t played in a decade. They’re calling it the Freedom to Rock tour, and they’re making sure that even markets like Bozeman, Mont. and Minot, N.D. get their due.
Details for the 35-date trek were announced today (April 8). The tour begins July 7 in Boise, Idaho and wraps Sept. 10 in Huntington, W.V., with the band promising to announce additional shows in the coming weeks.
