Kiss @ Islington Academy!

Postby ThrashConvert on Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:04 pm

CLASSIC ROCK, ROADRUNNER RECORDS,
LOUD & PROUD AND
KISS
Announce

Intimate UK Club Show in March 2010 in advance of the "Sonic Boom Over Europe: From The Beginning To The Boom" European Tour May / June 2010
Rock legends KISS are set to bring their new "Sonic Boom Over Europe: From the Beginning To the Boom" tour to Europe in Summer 2010.

In advance of the full European tour, KISS will play a special one-off club show at London's O2 Academy Islington on 2nd March 2010. With just 500 tickets available to the public, this show is a rare chance for fans to see one of the world's biggest bands in an intimate venue.

Says KISS frontman Paul Stanley: "We thought this was the perfect opportunity to do something a bit crazy. With all the buzz about our upcoming tour, we thought, let's come to London, strip it down, turn it up and blow the roof off the O2 Academy. What better way to say 'thank you' to our most devoted fans than to pummel them?"

I know they have some fans on here so i thought i would pass on this nugget of information

I only want to see Kiss for the fireworks and explosions, so I'll wait until May for the big boys show!

That sounds insane!! I thought Maiden at Hammersmith was pretty intimate but this will be mental.

I'd love to AC/DC at a venue like this. Now THAT would be mental.

The chance of getting one of these is slim to none. It will be a case of "who has the best internet connection" X "who has ultimate luck"

That shit will crash and then no one will get one. It will be bollocks, i had a hard enough time getting a AC/DC wembley ticket let alone a 500 ticket Kiss show.

I would think they would be £50 or something.

Jon! YES! AC/DC would be ultimate in a venue that sized.
