CRANDON, Wis. — Get ready to “rock and roll all nite” in Crandon, Wis.

After weeks of speculation, KISS has finally confirmed on-sale dates for its Friday, Sept. 1, concert at the Crandon International Raceway.

Tickets for KISS fan club members go on sale Saturday. Local and racer ticket sales are Sunday and general public tickets are on sale Monday. No prices have been announced. For more information, go to kissonline.com.

KISS announced June 1 they would perform in Crandon as part of its End of the Road Tour — one of three dates added.

The show is thanks to the efforts of the Forest County Potawatomi Tribe and its casinos.

The tribe helped secure the concert to welcome KISS to Wisconsin and to celebrate the upcoming opening of Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley’s Rock & Brews restaurant inside of Potawatomi Casino Hotel in Milwaukee, according to a news release.

“The Forest County Potawatomi Tribe is honored to play a role in bringing KISS to Crandon, Rock & Brews to Milwaukee, and people together to enjoy this next era of entertainment in Wisconsin,” Forest County Potawatomi Community Tribal Chairman James Crawford said. “We cannot wait to welcome these two icons to the perfect backdrop of our Northwoods, where we’ll show how Wisconsin truly loves to rock.”

KISS last played in Wisconsin in May 2022 at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater in Milwaukee. While in Milwaukee, Simmons and Stanley stopped by Potawatomi Hotel & Casino for the groundbreaking of the restaurant, a chain co-founded by the two men. The restaurant is part of a $100 million renovation to Potawatomi’s third floor and will become the casino’s main venue for live entertainment when it opens.

The press release said the KISS concert “is part of a summer concert series that will usher exciting entertainment into Wisconsin and into Potawatomi Casinos and Hotels.”
