Kiss have announced details of an intimate gig for just 500 fans in London next month.

The US rock band will play the Islington Academy on March 2 in preparation for their upcoming Sonic Boom Over Europe tour.

“We thought this was the perfect opportunity to do something a bit crazy," frontman Paul Stanley said.

"With all the buzz about our upcoming tour, we thought, let’s come to London, strip it down, turn it up and blow the roof off the O2 Academy.

“What better way to say ‘thank you’ to our most devoted fans than to pummel them?”

Tickets for the show go on sale tomorrow (February 26) at 12pm GMT.
