The KISS/Motley Crue summer tour double bill was officially announced this week at a press conference in Hollywood.
The veteran hard rockers will hit more than 40 cities across the continent starting July 20 in Bristow, Virginia, with shows scheduled through to September 23.
Dubbed “The Tour,” the show will feature 90-minute headlining sets by both bands, with KISS bassist Gene Simmons declaring the trek the real thing.
“Both Motley and KISS are united in one crusade: we are sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in back of them,” said Simmons. “What you’re going to hear on stage is live music. All the bombs are real, all the music is real, the guys you see onstage playing their instruments are playing their instruments. No karaoke singers allowed. No fake bulls**t. Leave that to the Rihanna, Shmianna and anyone who ends their name with an 'A.' This is real stuff.”
Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday, March 23.
