OSHAWA, Ont. - It appears Oshawa, Ont., will get its Kiss concert.
Mayor John Gray told CTV News on Tuesday evening he spoke to Kiss manager Doc McGhee and was assured a concert is scheduled for Oshawa on Oct. 7.
Residents were miffed when, after winning an online contest to have the band play Oshawa, the closest venue on Kiss's tour schedule was Toronto on Oct 2.
Gray told CTV he suspects the band wasn't prepared for the amount of negative publicity they got for skipping Oshawa.
Gray says his city had 14,000 votes, compared to 5,000 for Toronto, so the promoters could see the citizens really wanted to see a Kiss concert.
A band spokesman had said the band's show needed a larger venue, but Gray told CTV they could probably put extra seats in the 7,000 seat GM Centre.
