June 9, 2008

The organizers of the Download festival which is set to take place the weekend of June 13-15 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, UK have issued the following update:

"Join us for our world-record attempt for the 'most people made up as KISS' taking place at Download on Friday! Only you can help make it happen...

"We have joined forces with FACE, the official body of face-painters who are providing at least of 20 professional face-painters in order to achieve our goal! We hope to be able to set a record for over 400 faces painted within three hours.

"Face painting by our accredited painters is FREE; please don't do your own make-up. Remember in order to break the record, we can only accept faces painted by FACE members. Expert facepaint-makers Mehron are very kindly sponsoring the attempt by providing all the necessary paint...

"The attempt will take place on Friday 13 June with face-painting starting at 13:00 and finishing at 16:00. The face painters stations will be based in and on the edge of 'Kidney Wood' which is the kidney-shaped green area close to the day ticket entrance in the Main Arena.

"The stations will be split into four sections concentrating on each of the faces The Demon, Star Child, The Cat and The Spaceman.

"Once you've had your face painted, you'll given details of where to congregate to be part of our mass KISS award-winning photograph!"

Both KISS and original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley are scheduled to perform at this year's Download festival, among many other acts.
