The members of KISS are traveling to Dubai to perform a special New Year's Eve show at The Atlantis resort, and Gene Simmons shared a PSA-type tweet to fans while sharing a photo of the band trading in their signature makeup for protective masks at the airport. "Wear your masks. Even if it’s only as a courtesy," he wrote. "If you yawn, or sneeze, you don’t think twice about covering your mouth. Do the rest of us a favor! Mask Up! ..Besides, it looks cool"
Paul Stanley also shared his thoughts on mask wearing, but his approach was a little different than his bandmate's. "Frankly, I’ve had enough of the self-serving & politically motivated mask misinformation & BS about this pandemic," he wrote on Christmas Eve. "I don’t want to hear about 'my freedom' & 'my rights' that then infringe on so many other’s. Those 'rights' & choosing to gather at Thanksgiving got us here. Wake up"

The band's "Kiss 2020 Goodbye" show will be unlike anything they've done before. Aside from spending millions to ensure safety to those who choose to attend in person, they're also performing on a 250-foot stage and hope to set a Guinness World Record for biggest pyrotechnics display in history.
Tickets range from $39 livestream to $25,000 in-person VIP packages. Get details on all ticketing options here.
