Kiss To Perform Next Month At The Tribeca Film Festival

Kiss is set to perform on June 11th at Manhattan's 2021 Tribeca Festival. The band will take the stage directly following the screening of part one of their new A&E documentary, Biography: KISStory. The two-part documentary event is part of the Festival’s 2021 TV line up. The band — featuring Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer — will perform a multi-song set at a still-undisclosed location.

Festival passes are on sale now. Tickets to attend the outdoor in-person screening and events are available starting Monday, May 10th at 11:00 a.m. ET.

A&E's Biography: KISStory will premiere with a two-night event on June 27th and June 28th from 9 to 11 p.m. ET.

Gene Simmons told us that awards hold little allure for him, since it's the fans that ultimately decide who stays around and who doesn't: “Our awards are under the 'K' section in record stores. Every time somebody goes out and plunks down their hard-earned money — either for a Kiss ticket or for an album — that's the award, and reward.”

Paul Stanley told us that although can definitely see a time when he won't be suiting up as the “Starchild” — that doesn't necessarily mean that someone else won't be: “The thought of me not being involved certainly comes to mind. I'm not sure about the idea of Kiss coming to an end. We've built something that's so iconic, and I think transcends any of the members, that I can certainly see me not being there. I think it's rather narrow minded and short-sighted for me to believe everything revolves around me. A lot of it (laughs) does! But, you never say 'never.'”
