KISS Return To Shock And Astound The UK!
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 their 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
"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 this June." – Paul Stanley
