Shooting rockets. Blood spitting. Face Paint. Shiny Boots and utterly jaw dropping triumphant live shows:  SONISPHERE is proud to announce KISS as Friday’s headliner. With a reputation for being perhaps the most flamboyant and entertaining band on the planet, the American Kings will bring their stage extravaganza to SONISPHERE as their only European performance of 2012. While many bands have been chasing the eye liner shock horror dollar and have come and gone without changing the face of music as we know it, KISS have gone from strength to strength garnering praise, success and too many accolades to mention throughout the years, selling over 100 million albums worldwide and counting as the band is poised to unleash new album ‘Monster’ in June 2012.  Says the band:
 
“You wanted the best, you got the best, the hottest band in the world, KISS”.
 
SONISPHERE festival is KISS’ invitation to have the best time of your life with long lost friends such as the anthemic  ‘Rock N Roll All Night’, the jubilant singalong ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’ and the rallying cry of ‘God Gave Rock N Roll to You’. We would ask you to lock up your daughters, girlfriends and wives, but with Gene Simmons in town, it’s pretty clear there’s no stopping them. And if you can’t fight them, join them at their only European show of 2012.

Sadly I have just been informed that Mike Japp passed away this morning at his home in Wales. Deepest sympathies go out to his friends & family, Mike was an important part of KISStory and a great guitarist.

Mike's credits include co-writing 'Ain't Quite Right', 'Move On', 'Take Me Away, (Together As One)' from Paul's solo, 'Saint And Sinner' from Creatures Of The Night and 'Down On Your Knees' from Killers.

RIP Mike.

Happy Birthday to Paul Stanley, the greatest man in rock, who turns 60 today!!
