Of those 100m there were was it 160k in the UK?

They were presumably mostly decades ago. 

I'm not disputing they have a fan base, but I am disputing the idea that they should get a headline slot when the majority of the audience don't know most of their tunes and are expected to go away and do their revision first 😊

Yep the idea of them headlining Glastonbury is laughable, playing Glastonbury less so. I don't dispute the album sales or that they possibly have a large following but just saying the average Glastonbury goer wouldn't fall into the category of KISS fan. I'm a middle aged person, who had a considerable metal phase in my youth and I only know one song from them. 

I'm fairly shocked people consider GnR still relevant enough to headline but I accept they have a more ardent fanbase and were slightly more mainstream so are more likely to pull a crowd at Glastonbury still but no way KISS would be anything more than an Other Stage headliner at best more likely a motorhead slot in the middle of the day.

Last time I saw Kiss as a pop culture reference was 14 years ago.

Really under rated movie tbh, very funny

Yes I had quite a phase too, went to Donington twice during their hey day (but didn't see them) and I only know a couple of those listed.

I don't think anyone is arguing they should actually headline though, are they?

The same places anyone has heard them?

Streaming services, radio, music TV channels, records

They've sold over a 100 million albums

I'll never understand this bizarre idea that anyone under 30 has only ever heard music released in their lifetimes. What happens at 30 when all of a sudden people are aware of music that came before them? 

Films, as well.

While neither are recent, their cover of God Gave Rock And Roll To You is the culmination of Bill & Ted, and Detroit Rock City is fun in a brainless kind of way.

I'd be amazed if they (Simmonds) would accept anything less

Still fuming over that early entry general admission. What's that, an extra £100 so you can get near the front?

No idea what this refers too 😄

Then you go for a piss and someone who paid £100 less steps into your space.

Think it was the first time I’d heard of Kiss tbf, Love Gun still goes hard, if you’ll pardon the pun. Great movie though agreed

Some people seemed to be suggesting it was these instead of GnR and GnR were being talked of in terms of being headliner material. 

[a6l6e6x]

I barely knew any kiss songs when I saw them but it was one of my top gigs of all time. They put on a seriously amazing show. Think they’d be brilliant topping the pyramid. Don’t think they ever will though

I'm disputing your idea that no one under 30 would have encountered KISS.

Kiss over GnR any day of the week.

Such a fun performance! Think he needs the dark, though 

Would he be big enough to headline the The Other, or is the Park more his level now? It'd be great to see him on the farm.

Can't really imagine him on either of those stages sadly. It's hard to place him.
