Paul Stanley has announced that the upcoming KISS event in Las Vegas is set to experience significant enhancements, promising an unforgettable experience for fans.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that the legendary band would make their much-anticipated live return after wrapping up their farewell tour in December 2023. This exciting event, taking place from November 14-16 during the KISS Army Storms Vegas weekend, will be hosted at the luxurious Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
Confirmed performers include Stanley, Gene Simmons, and lead guitarist Tommy Thayer, who will come together for a dynamic electric set. Additionally, former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, along with Sebastian Bach and Black N’ Blue, are also slated to join the lineup, promising an exciting array of performances.
In a recent interview with the Broken Record podcast (embedded below), Stanley shared that although the band will deliver a full, electric, and unmasked show, they are enhancing the experience to more closely mirror the beloved KISS Kruises. He emphasized the desire to elevate the event beyond initial expectations:
“It started off as something that Gene and I kind of took a back seat in, but we recently realized that it wasn’t aligning with our vision,” Stanley elaborated. “As a result, we are implementing major changes to create an event that truly reflects what we envision. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements; there’s a lot in store that is sure to delight our fans.”

“Over the past 12 years, we’ve cultivated the KISS cruise experience, understanding its essence, the intricacies involved, and the engaging social interactions among fans from over 33 countries,” he continued. “This upcoming Las Vegas event will essentially transform into a KISS cruise atmosphere without the need for a ship. Attendees can expect familiar elements that define a KISS cruise: live band performances, interactive Q&As, exciting contests, delicious food options, refreshing drinks, and vibrant social dynamics.”
Stanley expressed particular enthusiasm about the prospect of including additional bands in the lineup: “The other bands that will be announced are guaranteed to embody everything that fans cherish about the KISS cruises. We recognized that certain elements were missing from the initial plans, and it was crucial for us to take the reins and guide this event in the right direction. Whether you’re part of the KISS Army, Navy, or simply a fan, this event is set to become something much grander. We are genuinely thrilled about these developments, and we encourage everyone to stay tuned for more updates.”
