News: Kiss celebrates blowing up their set at Anaheim in ’76 and Heaven’s Metal’s Christian Sullivan was there
On a pleasant day, August 15th, 2026, I had the privilege of attending a remarkable event that I had never imagined I would experience: the 50th anniversary celebration of the rock band Kiss, coinciding with the commemoration of their live concert at Angel Stadium in 1976.

The atmosphere was electric as fans and baseball aficionados gathered to witness a significant moment in history at this iconic venue in Orange County, Los Angeles. The event centered around the double live album recorded on that historic day, titled Kiss Destroys Anaheim ’76, and as excitement filled out the air, I found myself captivated by the significance of the occasion. Paul Stanley’s heartfelt acknowledgment of the honor he felt to be present resonated deeply with me, overshadowing any questions I had.
As this was my first major event, I remained in awe, striving to maintain a professional demeanor. This occasion will undoubtedly be remembered as a landmark moment in rock music, and I am filled with gratitude for having been part of such a magical experience that will remain etched in my memory forever.
