A lot of people are asking about other UK KISS dates - currently nothing has been announced and the companies involved are being very very quiet! I understand more Europe dates will be released this week, but the number of potential gaps are disappearing fast!

Also Ace will also be appearing at The Corporation in Sheffield. Tickets can be bought by contacting the box office on 0114 2760262 for the Box Office.

Kiss, The Offspring and Lostprophets will headline this year's sixth Download rock festival at Donington Park this summer.

Judas Priest, Motorhead, HIM and Rise Against will also appear at the Leicestershire festival, which runs from 13 June to 15 June.

Veteran rockers Iron Maiden closed last year's festival.

The Download Festival followed on from the Monsters of Rock festivals which ran at Donington between 1980 and 1996.

Lostprophets singer Ian Watkins told BBC Radio 1's Rock Show it was "an honour" to be asked to play at Download 2008 and that the band hoped to have its new album finished in time for the festival.

"The album will probably be finished by then so there will be a load of new songs," he said.

He added: "It's good that we're doing Download now - we're at a point where we need to be finished by then."

In 2006, Deep Purple and Alice Cooper were among the acts at the first UK Monsters of Rock in 10 years, held at Milton Keynes Bowl.

We're not even into 2008 yet and already there are rumours of KISS playing Download 2008! Those of you that follow the rumours will be well aware that this seems to happen almost every year... however this time it does seem to have a little more chance then in the past. Mainly due to yet another rumour that KISS have apparently reserved the Olympic stadium in Stockholm for May 30th - 2 weeks before Download...

Brillaint news before KISSmas (just!)..... Ace is coming to London to play the Astoria on April 11th 2008!!!!

Tickets can be bought for £20 from: Ticketmasters Ace page

Thanks to Dan for the heads-up on this one.
