KISS to play o2 Dublin in May 2010!!!!

RayCon · 12-02-2010 3:38pm

A mate of mine is trying very hard to convince me to "paint up" for the gig ... Im tempted but then again Im not .... he wants to be Gene anf me Ace .... can't see it happening

Catari Jaguar · 12-02-2010 5:20pm

There's a pic of me from Halloween in the Know Your Metalheads thread in my Gene Simmons (very homemade) costume & face paint. So I'll probably wear that again! But the white & demon eyes was such a pain in the ass to put on, I might just do a black star around my eye...

KISS TOOK MY BREATH AWAY

"Last night's KISS show in London was cut short because the Co2 canisters used to blast confetti during Rock and Roll All Nite made breathing nearly impossible. Both the band and fans upstairs and in front of the stage were having difficulty breathing from the concentration of Co2 in the air."

Paul reveals, "Once the confetti cannons went off, we barely made it off stage. None of us could breathe or catch our breath. Each of us thought we were the only one until we saw each other. Pretty scary and there was no way we could continue. We came out for the encores but couldn't get past one. Still, all in all, an amazing night that left many breathless!"

Oh Paul!

Is it just me or is that stage tiny??

nope, the stage is tiny, capacity for the academy is only 850, so imagine an average sized nightclub's stage and you'll get the idea.

I've been there twice and it's a great little venue

850!!! wow thats brilliant, i'd say it was amazing

kona · 05-03-2010 2:17am

Is it only me or does the crowd seem a little tame?I sure to god hope it isnt like that here.
The band dont seem particularly tight either, hopefully practice makes perfect

PTH2009 · 05-03-2010 2:59am

Kiss Saves Santa. lol

I've heard that only 200 or so went on general sale, the rest was to record company peeps, comp winners and fan club.

PTH2009 · 05-03-2010 5:59pm

It says on the Tickets Kiss Plus Special Guests.

I heard a rumor that there is only going to be local support not any big name support for Dublin.

So i would not call a local band Special Guests lol

Im hoping for Buckcherry.

Local Bands = Gick.

No offense to Local bands who actually play music that Kiss Fans may appreciate, but when a Irish Promoter says "Local Band" we get some bunch of Ghey wimps like the Coronas or Director, or a band that begins with "THE".
If this happens a similar situation like that at Aerosmith may occur.

+1 it better not be some emo di*khead band..

bazmaiden · 05-03-2010 9:52pm

wouldn't mind if "The Answer" supported, would fit in perfect aswell

RayCon · 06-03-2010 1:37am

Considering the ticket price , €50, and the size of the production ... expect a "local" band. There's no way there'll be funding for a "recognised name" as support (unless their Record Company pick up the tab).

Remember, Whitesnake+ Def Leppard + Tesla + Journey last year? that was only e30 or so.

PTH2009 · 06-03-2010 8:58pm

I wonder what the chances of Kiss playing Forever in there Setlist lol. Very Slim Chance. Very underated song in my opinion.

Similar to Paddy Casey supporting Pearl Jam a few years back, he went down really really well :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Furious-Red · 06-03-2010 9:04pm

Would love someone like Buckcherry , seen them at Rock Im Park last year and they were class. Wolfmother are supporting them during some of the European Tour

It depends on what sort of a set they decide on, if it's gonna have a lot of the new album on it then probably slim, but it's definitely been played in shows over the last year.......would be nice to get a bit of variation in the set......but I'm just happy I'm gonna get to see them here indoors

with regards to support acts - it's March and they are announcing different support acts for different gigs, so hopefully someone will be doing the UK shows and they'll bring them over........if it's a decision left to the Promoters I'll be at the bar....

senordingdong · 07-03-2010 2:11pm

Flip the support.

KISS are all that really matters.

PTH2009 · 10-03-2010 12:36am

According to Paul Stanley They are deff going to play the following on the tour

Crazy Crazy Nights
God Gave Rock N Roll To You II
Modern Day Deliah
Say Yeah
Im An Animal

Probly will also play Love Gun (Where he flys over the Crowd lol. Dont think the o2 is build for that lol) ,Detroit Rock City, Lick It Up, Rock And Roll All Nite and Maybe I Was Made For Loving You.

This is the first time ever Kiss will play in Dublin. 1996 Dublin Gig was Canceled and They played Belfast in 1988 so never played a gig in Dublin

grimm2005 · 10-03-2010 1:03am

anyone slightly concerned they may cancel this? standing tickets are still plentiful and decent seating is still available. apparently they cancelled in '96 due to poor ticket sales. I'd be majorly dissapointed if they did. I think they probably could have done with dropping the price by a tenner

PTH2009 · 10-03-2010 2:20am

Will probly only be around 2000 at the gig. So if u have seated tickets you could probly sit anywhere lol.

Just wondering will the o2 be the same layout as the picture below or will the lower section of seats be gone.

Man, 2000 X €50 = €100,000 .... €100,000 would not fund this gig ...MCD would be at a loss ... if only 2000 tickets are sold I can see it being cancelled big time.

Wonder how many tickets Skynyrd have sold for tonights show in the O2 ?

It would already have been pulled if they hadn't sold a certain amount of tickets by now - at least I wouldn't see any reason for them to proceed unless they thought it was going to do decent business......

Why do you think there would only be 2000 at this PTH ?
to be honest I think I already know more people that are going to this than had bought tickets in '96.......I'm hoping it's gonna be a really good turnout.....

adox · 10-03-2010 2:35pm

I couldn't see any gig going ahead at the O2 with ticket sales of 2000. Even for a fully seated concert there that's less than a quarter capacity.

kona · 10-03-2010 2:59pm

If its selling that poorley, Ill be expecting a ghey indie band to support.:mad:

RayCon · 10-03-2010 5:31pm

I think Preist Fest might have been €49 ... can't remember ... will check my ticket stub later

Still No News on the support bands if theres going to be any. Anyone hear anything.

NIBBS · 24-03-2010 5:15pm

so far we've got -

Norway - WigWam
Sweden - Europe & Mustash
Germany - Wolfmother

now the initial spiel was that they weren't bringing and Tour Support and that it would be local support bands in each City - but obviously that ain't the case either........Europe are only doing Stockholm and not Malmo ? so it's just to me like they are adding a band that's in the same place at that time and is up for it........so I'm hoping there's someone decent added to it, were the gig here in June I'd be expecting someone off the Download bill to be added........i dont see an announcement being made until close to the date...

yknaa · 24-03-2010 5:33pm

Must get a ticket for this and insure it goes ahead

Priest/Megadeth/Testament was €49 (standing) oke. Bargain.

RayCon · 24-03-2010 5:57pm

Cant see a support band of note being added TBH ... my guess will be a run of the mill Irish support slot, the likes of The Blizzards or some similar toss.

Although there's a hair metal type festival in Stockholm a few days before hand .... might get one of these :

Slaughter (US)
Great White (US)
Steelheart (US)
KIX (US)
Keel (US)
Dizzy Reed of Guns n Roses (US)
Pretty Boy Floyd (US)
BulletBoys (US)
XYZ (US)
Vains of Jenna (SE)
TUFF (US)
Tigertailz (UK)

On some UK Kiss sites there's a strong rumour that The Quireboys have been lined up for some support slots :rolleyes: ... more time in the bar I suppose

Passenger · 31-03-2010 4:17pm

Kiss support confirmed for the Dublin O2 date.

A band called Taking Dawn will be the support.
