Vegas’ finest 80s rock kids Taking Dawn have been announced as the sole support band on KISS’s UK arena tour this May

Vegas´ finest 80s rock kids Taking Dawn have been announced as the sole support band on KISS´s UK tour this May. Check out the full dates below.

Taking Dawn's frontman Chris Babbitt is fast-forging a reputation in media circles for his ability to churn out pricesless, yet endearingly sincere, rock ‘n´ roll quotes. This time he had this to say:

“I still think my guys are f***ing with me. Isn´t Ashton Kutcher supposed to punk only famous people? Not even in 100,000 years did I think we´d really be opening for KISS... especially after the third farewell tour! We´ve got our ‘Love Gun´ locked and loaded, and can´t wait to strut the same stage as our heroes. This is such an honour it´s almost too overwhelming for words.”

Taking Dawn will also be appearing at Download 2010.
