Kiss Heading To UK For July Concert?

KISS were originally confirmed to appear at the ill-fated UK installment of the Sonisphere Festival. Following its cancellation, fans were left bitterly disappointed at losing their chance to see the legendary band. It wasn’t long however before rumours started circulating that a concert at London’s HMV Forum would be booked instead.

Members of the band recently revealed that they would indeed be heading to the UK in July but did not go into too much detail. This is leading even more people to believe that KISS will indeed announce something imminently!

If it is the case then this summer will see a few of the world’s biggest ever rock bands descend on the UK with both Queen and Black Sabbath having confirmed shows.

Stay with TicketsMarkets for any news updates on this possible KISS show!
