Fan photos from Birmingham
Here's another couple of Birmingham photos from a fellow KISS fan & colleague of mine Eric Gibbon. Eric has a long history of attending KISS shows starting with Bingley Hall in 1980!
Birmingham 28th May 2017
Last night was another Crazy Crazy Night in Birmingham, this the 2nd show on the UK leg of the KISSWORLD tour. The Dives were the openers (featuring Paul's son Evan), and while they were playing I was busy with a great surprise for a young fan but more on that later. It's great to see Deuce is back as the opener, in my opinion there is no better song to open a KISS show (sorry DRC..). Another highlight for me was hearing Flaming Youth live for the first time ever, featuring a nice round-up of photos from the 70's and early 80's.
There's a great (positive!) review over on the Birmingham Mail site along with a video of some short fan interviews.
There's some photos below (first 3 from me and the great close-ups from Rik Byatt) and also a copy of the setlist.

Manchester show cancelled
From Manchester Arena:
Following the tragic events in Manchester and the temporary closure of the Manchester Arena the scheduled concert of KISS’ Kissworld Tour on the 30 May 2017 has... been cancelled.
“We are heartbroken by the atrocity committed against the innocent victims of Manchester. We sadly will not to be able to play Manchester Arena on the 30th May. We have always looked forward to these shows and our local fans, but in light of recent events a cancelled rock show seems of such little consequence. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those affected and all the people of Manchester at this difficult time. We are with you and you are in our prayers.” - Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer
Refunds for the 30 May Manchester Arena concert will be granted to all ticketholders at the point of purchase.

Lots of respect for this picture from the Frankfurt show tonight. If anyone knows who took it please let me know so I can credit them (possibly by Jens Maier).
