Buckcherry To Support KISS On Summer Tour By Newsferatu, Writer Wednesday, May 27, 2009 @ 5:08 PM
Buckcherry will support Kiss on all dates for the band's upcoming North American tour, Billboard has learned. The tour, which begins in September, made headlines last month when it was announced that KISS had partnered with live music social networking site Eventful to route the tour through the top-voted North American markets as determined by demand on the Eventful website.
Voting will continue until June 30th and Buckcherry fans are expected to enter the fray.
According to the KISS camp, more than 8,000 cities and towns are already represented on the fan-submitted list. By voting, fans have the opportunity to purchase pre-sale tickets prior to the general on-sale and will also receive merch discounts and other perks. Fans are also encouraged to create their own viral videos online, motivating their fellow residents to participate in casting votes for a KISS show in their city. City-specific "best-of" compilation reels of these videos will be shown on jumbo screens at venues before each concert.
Interestingly, the top 10 markets in Eventful's KISS demand, and 15 of the top 20, currently are Canadian cities. "Canada is a great environment for rock ‘n roll, they're rabid for it, they turn out, and they love their rock and roll, so the fact that it's going over well in Canada does not surprise me at all," Buckcherry guitarist Keith Nelson tells Billboard.com.
