Could this be the year for the AFL to finally kiss and make up to football fans for that Meat Loaf performance?

A caller to radio station 3AW's Rumour File on Thursday morning said glam metal veterans Kiss will headline the 2015 AFL grand final.

The same caller suggested AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan was determined to make his mark in a new era, perhaps with a pot of face paint.

The AFL is keeping mum on the Kiss rumours for now, with a spokesman saying the headline act would be announced in late August or early September.
