Kiss at Xfinity Center

With their idosyncratic sense of style and bombastic, unpredictable stage shows, Kiss are one of the biggest rock bands the world has ever seen. Formed in New York City in 1973, they first made waves in the mid-1970s with their first live album Alive, which served as their mainstream breakthrough. The band's classic line-up is Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley, but the group has experienced several line-up changes over the years, and for a period in the 1980s, they also went without their signature make-up as their music was introduced to the MTV generation. However, in 1996, the band returned to using stage make-up when the original members re-united. Over the years, Kiss has become one of the world's best-selling bands of all time, with 30 gold and 14 platinum albums, including three that have multi-platinum certification. They were inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
