KISS Announce ‘Special Guests’ For Reunion

KISS has confirmed that Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons is set to reunite for an event at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas as part of the three-day “KISS Army Storms Vegas” event, which runs from November 14th to November 16th.

Stanley and Simmons, along with “special guests” will play at least one show “unmasked,” meaning without their iconic makeup.

It is expected to be Stanley and Simmons’s first joint concert since 2023, when KISS wrapped up its “End Of The Road” farewell tour at Madison Square Garden in New York.

KISS’s official “KISS Army Storms Vegas” announcement does not mention the band’s longtime guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer and makes it unclear if they will participate in the event.

KISS’s unmasked electric show will be in honor of the 50th anniversary of the hottest fan club in the world, KISS Army.

Question-and-answer sessions with Stanley and Simmons, as well as KISS’s longtime manager Doc McGhee, where they will share stories, behind-the-scenes moments and answer your most burning questions, is scheduled as well.

Fans can also expect guest performances, including from former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, as well as surprise appearances, guest sets, tribute bands and unforgettable moments that will make this weekend in Vegas a piece of KISStory.

KISS had previously set a 12-show residency at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas in 2021 and 2022 but ultimately canceled all of the dates.

50 years ago in Terre Haute, Indiana, a small group of fans lit the spark that would become the loudest and proudest fan movement in rock history: the KISS Army. Now, five decades later — and 30 years since the first official KISS convention — KISS is cranking it up to 11 in Las Vegas for the ultimate celebration.
