We attended 'Kisstory', as part of present for my Husbands birthday - I thought it was a 'back to the day 90's dance to present,concert night, (as we hadn't been before), and it was just advertised on the ticket site as 'Kiss's famous club night at the O2'.
We weren't sure what to expect when we got there, and I have to say we were disappointed. It was a nightclub, with too loud a base - it covered up any of the vocals and tune on the records played, vibrating so you got a huge buzz up her neck, and little of the intended track in your ears!. The bar was a joke - we got ONE drink in 3 HOURS because we couldn't get to the bar - it was at least 8-10 people deep, along the whole stretch, wasn't manned enough, and didn't serve quickly enough the people that were at the front,it just didn't move. We left early because we were thirsty and the music wasn't up to scratch. It had been initially good when we first entered at just after 10pm, but by 12 bad mixing and some really dated tunes had kicked in, that weren't anthems as the DJ proclaimed across the mike! My hubby has been raving it up since the late 80's early 90's when the dance scene kicked in, I am 4 years younger and followed suit clubbing from my late teens/early twenties. I thought this would be a great night to relive his youth and reminisce..having a great night together,but both of us were bitterly disappointed. I'm gutted that was part of his present, and had I known it was just a club night in a night club wouldn't have booked it. Information on the website for the Indigo at the O2 gave minimum explanation. I have compilation albums of 'kisstory' but didn't hear half the tunes I was expecting. The club was swamped with young twenty somethings that wouldn't have known the anthems back in the day, so they probably think it was brilliant!, however as funky Ibiza loving clubbers in their late 30's we wouldn't reccomend this night. Wish I had spent my money elsewhere.
