PHILADELPHIA, PA. (Top40 Charts) The only thing more recognizable than Ace Frehley's signature "Spaceman" makeup is his guitar playing, and Kiss fans can see the rock legend when he performs at Rivers Casino in Fishtown.
Frehley, a co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss, comes to The Event Center on Friday, June 6. Concert tickets are on sale now, starting at $39. Showtime is 8 p.m.
Frehley's thunderous riffs and soaring solos have cemented his status as one of the most influential and iconic musicians in rock history. Simply put, rock 'n' roll and heavy metal wouldn't sound, look or feel the same without him.
