Amongst many international dealers, KISSkollector will be present.
The special guest for this event is none other than Bill Aucoin, the famous manager of KISS from August '73 till April '82. This is the first time that Bill Aucoin will be on the mainland for a KISS Expo. Bill will be there for a personal meet and greet moment. You can bring along 2 items to sign and you will have your personal photo session moment with Bill. A question and answer interview is planned and in between local band sensation "Dirty City" will be playing some KISS classics their own way. The next generation of KISS fans have taken up their guitars and amps. Their excitement will charm your KISS hearts.
KISStory themselves will be playing at 21u00 and will present you a grandiose show and throw out all the stops with some extra pyro and fireworks to celebrate the occasion. Tickets are only 10 € in advance sale and 12 € on the day itself. You can purchase tickets through the website of the band and register yourself for their newsletter. In a couple of weeks KISSkollector will have tickets for sale as well. More info on this in the upcoming weeks.
