Kiss will kick off their Australian tour in Perth on October 3 but without Whitesnake as originally planned.

The 2015 Australian Kiss tour will now include special guests The Dead Daisies featuring new member John Corabi, a one-time member of The Scream, Motley Crue and ESP (with former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick).

The Dead Daisies have recently returned from Cuba where they became the first Western band to perform in the country since President Obama opened trade with the region.

The Kiss line-up of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer will tour Australia around both the AFL and NRL grand finals and could possibly be included in the events for one or both of the footfall finals when they are here.

Kiss will also perform in Newcastle for the very first time on this tour.

Kiss and The Dead Daisies dates

October 3, Perth, Perth Arena
October 6, Adelaide, Entertainment Centre
October 8, Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena
October 10, Sydney, Allphones Arena
October 12, Newcastle, Entertainment Centre
October 14, Brisbane, Entertainment Centre
