Get your vintage tee shirts out for intimate KISS gig

24/02/2010

The rock legends known as much for their face paint as their music have announced that they'll play an intimate gig at a London venue ahead of their European tour.

KISS will be stepping out on stage at the O2 Academy Islington on March 2nd for a special one-off show to just 500 people.

The audience will probably be full of fans wearing their KISS tee shirts with pride and singing along to the bands biggest hits - as well as a few no doubt sporting the instantly recognisable black and white face makeup.

Known for tracks such as Crazy Nights and Animalize, the US rockers are embarking on a tour around Europe for their Sonic Boom album.

Front man Paul Stanley said that the London gig is a chance to "say thank you" to their fans.

"We thought let's come to London, let's strip it down, turn it up and blow the roof off the O2 Academy," he commented on the band's website.

Tickets are going on sale at midday today (February 24th) and with the small number on offer, they're expected to go fast.
