The performance was broadcast through underwater speakers in hopes of attracting the great whites through the low frequency sound of rock and roll, however, no sharks attended the event.  

KISS PERFORM OFF PORT LINCOLN

🦈🦈KISS PERFORM 🎸🎤🤟🏼Take a sneaky look as American legends of rock KISS perform to sharks and a handful of lucky ticket holders off our coastline today. Unfortunately word is that the local sharks didn’t come to the party. Maybe they just prefer the homegrown rock of AC/DC?!Maybe it’s because KISS were out at Williams Island and the sharks were lined up waiting at Neptunes? 🎥 Simone Bertram
