KISS

In December 1980, KISS was deep into their 'Unmasked' tour when they performed at the Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand. The 'Unmasked' album, released just a few months earlier in April 1980, marked a significant shift in the band's style towards a more pop-oriented sound, moving away from the heavy rock vibe of their earlier work. Interestingly, this era was pivotal, as it showcased KISS experimenting with different musical directions while still delivering the high-energy performances they were known for. Fans attending the concert likely enjoyed a spectacular live feast, because KISS is known for their larger-than-life stage presence, complete with fire breathers and pyrotechnics. This concert captured a moment when the band was pushing boundaries, all while engaging a loyal fanbase eager for that unmistakable KISS magic.
