HOME BY 10: A Throwback Dance Party for Grown-Ups — KISS 98.5 "KISSMAS BASH" Edition

We’re turning back the clock for one night only....again! This special pop-up edition of HOME BY 10 pays homage to the legendary Kissmas Bash concerts we all grew up on.....those can’t-miss nights that defined December in Buffalo. Same energy. Same nostalgia. Just reimagined for where we are now.

This isn’t your typical night out—it’s a dance party built for grown-ups who still love the music, the memories, and the moment… just without the 2am regret. Think packed dance floors, familiar faces, and wall-to-wall hits from the mid/late ‘90s and early 2000s that once ruled Chippewa—only this time, you’ll actually make it home at a reasonable hour.

Headlining the night is special guest DJ Nicholas Picholas, bringing that unmistakable KISS 98.5 energy, alongside DJ Lil Joe—a name synonymous with the Bayou era and Chippewa’s glory days. From throwback anthems to sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs classics, this is your soundtrack to reliving it all.

Round up your crew, text the group chat, and come dance like you used to—just smarter this time.
