While not scheduling any shows in the immediate Chicago area this time around, rock band KISS brought their "Freedom to Rock" tour to nearby Rockford on Saturday night for a show at the BMO Harris Bank Center, home of the Rockford IceHogs hockey league.

The band's goal for the 36+ city tour, which started in early July, was to bring a show to fans in markets they haven't visited in quite some time, playing a number of cities they haven't been to in a few years, some they haven't been to in over a decade, and some they're playing for the first time.

Although the Rockford show was the 24th stop on the tour, there's still a chance to see the band live this year. For additional tour dates, click here.
