KISS Confirmed For Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

The 88th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is going to be a star-studded affair as always, and this year it's going to be a little more rockin'

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers KISS are confirmed for the annual holiday tradition, which will take place, of course, on Thanksgiving Day, November 27th, and air on NBC starting at 9 am.

The cast of the NBC's Today Show will emcee the broadcast, which will also feature Sting, Meghan Trainor, Idina Menzel, Nick Jonas, the cast of "Sesame Street" and actress Quevenzhane Wallis (who is "Annie" in the new movie based on the musical), with Philadelphia’s Taney Dragons and their star pitcher, 13-year-old Mo’Ne Davis kicking things off.

In addition to the big names, the parade will highlight 16 giant character balloons, 33 novelty/ornament balloons, balloonicles, balloonheads and trycaloons, 27 floats, 1300 cheerleaders and dancers, 1000 clowns and (gasp!) 12 marching bands!
