Double-header tribute night with SNOG, the KISS tribute, and Poizon, the Poison tribute, at Sub89.
Popworld Reading is putting on a double-header tribute night at Sub89 on Friday 26 February, pairing two of the biggest names in glam rock on one bill. The night is called Kiss & Poison, and it brings together SNOG, a KISS tribute, and Poizon, a tribute to Poison.
SNOG takes the first half of the evening, billed as the ultimate KISS tribute. They perform in full face paint and run through the KISS classics, so the look is as much a part of the set as the music. After them, Poizon takes over, described as the world's number one tribute to the glam-metal kings of noise, Poison. They lean into the swagger and spectacle of Poison's glam rock era, with the big hair and loud riffs that defined the band's sound. Between the two, you've got the face paint of KISS and the hair of Poison, so the night is built around the theatrical side of the music.

It's a long evening, running from 7:00pm to 10:30pm, with both acts getting their own slot rather than sharing one. Tickets are £13.20 to £16.50, and the night is restricted to over-14s, with under-18s needing to be accompanied by an adult. That puts it in the range of a standard night out in town, and the double bill means you get two full tribute sets for one ticket. If you're into the big riffs and the glam rock side of things, it's a straightforward way to see both in one go.
