Unbeatable,
unmissable, the outrageous KISS return to shock and astound the Download
faithful with their third trip to Donington almost 35 years to the day
since the band played their first ever show as KISS in New York.
Featuring Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, this incarnation has continued to rock the world; always staying true to the tradition of this legendary band. The faces of The Demon, The Star Child, The Spaceman and The Catman will return once again to deliver a high-voltage, pyrotechnic-laden, furious set which will conquer the rabid sea of fans who have been waiting for the return to Europe for nearly a decade. "For 35 Years, we have prided ourselves in our opening: YOU WANTED THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD. We are throwing down the gauntlet. Let those who are faint of heart, take heed. We will take no prisoners" - Gene Simmons, KISS "I've always prided myself in living
up to and beyond the legend. I can tell you we are ready to seize the
moment and add to that legend. We remain KISS to our souls, and that
truth will be deafeningly clear in June." - Paul Stanley, KISS Along
with the screaming guitars, lights and pyrotechnics that have made KISS
“The Greatest Rock n Roll Show On Earth”, the band brings
their vast repertoire of classic music. Having sold 85 million records
worldwide, KISS has become the soundtrack for a generation. Not only
will the KISS faithful hear anthems like “Rock n’ Roll All
Night”, “Shout It Out Loud” and “Detroit Rock
City”, they can expect a few surprises and rarely played live
KISS classics gems as well... |
