KISS Destroys Anaheim 1976 Revisited | California News

KISS’s meteoric rise began in 1976 when they played for $75 a week, driving hours between gigs—then exploded onto the scene with a jaw-dropping Anaheim Stadium show that drew 42,000 fans. With no major hits or media buzz, their success was pure word-of-mouth magic. To celebrate the 50th anniversary, they’re releasing a newly mixed live album from that historic night, plus a photo book and liner notes. Gene Simmons even recalls falling off stage stairs in his dragon boots—but kept rocking. Plus, he and Paul Stanley are throwing out the first pitch at an Angels game on August 15th as part of a full KISS-themed night. And it’s just the start: a movie, cartoon, comics, and a KISS cruise are coming next—with more content than fans ever imagined.
