Matthew Wilkening
March 12, 2020 Kiss and David Lee Roth have postponed the remaining shows of the current leg of their North American tour due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. There were only three dates remaining on this leg of the tour. The show originally scheduled for tonight in Tulsa, Okla., will now take place on Oct. 4. The Lafayette, La., show planned for March 14 will now occur on Oct. 6, and the March 15 Bixoli, Miss., date has been moved to Oct. 7. Kiss are currently scheduled to begin a month-long tour of South America on April 24; the two acts previously announced another five-week tour of North America kicking off Aug. 28 in Burgettstown, Pa. In a Twitter post announcing the postponements, the band noted that the fall leg of the tour remains unchanged. http://twitter.com/kiss/status/1238166848857833472 Earlier this week, Kiss announced they were canceling the meet-and-greet events that take place before each of their shows. “After many discussions with experts in the field, we have been advised to temporarily cancel these events given the reality that we do this nightly for a hundred or more fans,” they explained.

evhua(1610) | Thanks Ron.. By the way…no news from the VH camp… Wolfie posted a picture of his bass… I wish we could hear some good news…
|
ron(11801) | While I haven’t seen anything official yet, a couple of the late summer/fall KISS & DLR dates have already been postponed. I expect the rest to fall shortly.

Yup, I just got an email. I’m bummed

ron(11801) | Looks like most/all of the late summer/fall KISS & DLR dates have been pushed to 2021. New 2021 dates:

ron(11801) | …and now it appears that Dave is no longer the opener for these KISS shows.

ron(11801) | http://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/kiss-las-vegas-residency-touring-vaccines-1212487/ Rolling Stone: Before the pandemic halted the tour, David Lee Roth was opening for Kiss. Now it’s the performance painter Garibaldi. So David is not back? Gene Simmons: Not. But it bears noting that during Dave’s heyday, nobody did what he did. He was the ultimate frontman. Not Plant, not Rod Stewart, nobody. He took being a frontman way beyond anything. And then, I don’t know what happened to him… something. And you get modern-day Dave. I prefer to remember Elvis Presley in his prime. Sneering lips, back in Memphis, you know, doing all that. I don’t want to think of bloated naked Elvis on the bathroom floor.

Dutchie(1802) | ^ Wow…. Is Gene talking about Dave or Paul there???  At least Dave isnt using backing tapes…

ron(11801) | Dutchie: At least Dave isnt using backing tapes…
