Salmon Festival in Grand Falls-Windsor to Rock and Roll All Nite with KISS this July 9th? Saturday announcement?

The Telegram is reporting that KISS is set to headline the 2011 Salmon Festival in Grand Falls/Windsor on July 9th.

When asked about whether there would be a KISS concert this summer, the town refused to comment, though a source very close with the band was able to confirm the date.

It’s also possible that lead singer Gene Simmons, his partner Whitbourne native Shannon Tweed, and their two children could be filming episodes of their reality show “Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels” while in the province. Tweed has previously said she hasn’t been back to Newfoundland in more than 20 years, and the children, Nick and Sophie, have never been to the province.

It is expected the show will be announced at the Herder game Saturday night.

KISS was last in Atlantic Canada for Halifax Rocks 2009, held on the Commons.

Will you attend Salmon Fest this year?
