The full current KISS lineup – featuring Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and drummer Eric Singer – will reunite for two special shows, one acoustic and one electric, at the “KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas” festival from November 14-16 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. These two “Unmasked” shows will mark the band’s first live performances since they retired from touring following their Madison Square Garden show in December 2023. Alongside the concerts, Singer, Simmons, Stanley, and Thayer will participate in fan Q&A sessions and activities, with the event also set to honor the group’s late original guitarist, Ace Frehley, who died in October. The festival will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the KISS Army, and features additional appearances by Quiet Riot, Sebastian Bach, Pearcy DeMartini performing the music of RATT, former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, School of Rock, and more.
