Dressed To Kill have promised to play all the hits such ‘Crazy Crazy Nights’, ‘Detroit Rock City’, ‘Rock n Roll All Nite’ and more over the course of a 90-minute set.

Along with all the classics, audiences can expect smoking guitars, the infamous Axe Bass, and maybe even some fire-breathing.

A spokesperson for the band said: “Dressed To Kill have even been used by the ‘real’ KISS to promote album releases and tour - such is their attention to detail.

“So if it’s good enough for KISS, then get ready for 'the hottest (tribute) band in the world’.
