Melbourne Australia, February 28, 2003
KISS today announced one of the most spectacular concert events Australia will ever see, Kiss Symphony. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss announced details of a one-off concert with the 60-piece Melbourne Symphony to be held at Telstra Dome on February 28, 2003. The event will celebrate the band's 30th anniversary, and will be filmed, recorded, and broadcast via pay-per-view around the world.
The idea for the event came from the office of promoter Andrew McManus, who toured with the band in Australia 18 months ago. "Once the idea came to us and we presented it to the band, they were in all guns blazing from day one. This will be undoubtedly one of the most incredible concerts Australia has ever seen and will reach fans all over the world," McManus said. At today's press conference, 14 members of the Melbourne Symphony performed two songs "I Was Made For Loving You" and "Rock'n'Roll All Night", adorned in full KISS makeup!!
