UNCASVILLE, CT (August 24, 2009) — One of the most legendary Rock bands of all-time with 24 straight gold or better records, KISS, will take center stage at Mohegan Sun Arena for their “Kiss Alive 35” tour on Saturday, October 3rd. Special guests Buckcherry open the show which begins at 7:30pm.

Tickets will also be available at the Mohegan Sun Box Office starting Sunday, August 30th, subject to availability.
KISS has sold over 80 million albums worldwide and is known to be one of the most thrilling and imaginative live concerts to experience. Equipped with the famous comic book-like mystiques and high-octane theatrics via pyrotechnics, fire-breathing and dry ice fog, the band still brings an energy to the stage that remains unrivaled in Pop-Metal. Over the span of more than three decades, they have released 28 albums in which 26 have gone gold, platinum or multi-platinum, trailing only the Beatles in this category. KISS is set to release their first studio album in 11 years entirely produced by the band’s Paul Stanley entitled Sonic Boom and will be available through Walmart, Walmart.com and Sam’s Club retail locations on October 6th.
A Hard Rock favorite since its eponymous debut in 1999, the Grammy-nominated Buckcherry has since released the platinum album 15, the top ten smash and recently released Black Butterfly, and freewheeling hits like “Crazy Bitch” and “Sorry.” The band also has a new live album releasing this September entitled Live & Loud.

Paisley has just garnered his fourteenth #1 single and a record-setting tenth consecutive with “Then” the lead single off his new release American Saturday Night. As his numerous visits to Mohegan Sun have proven, his musicianship and sly sense of humor bring something very special to his live performances.

Jimmy Wayne is one of the biggest success stories of 2008. “Do You Believe Me Now,” the title track from his first new CD in almost five years, hit the top of the charts and held onto the #1 spot for three weeks. Follow-up singles “I Will” and “I’ll Be That” are tracking as well as their predecessor, and will certainly join the ranks of previous Wayne hits, including “Stay Gone, “I Love You This Much” and “Paper Angels.”
