Kiss Unveil Second Live Show Following Retirement Announcement

Back in March, Kiss revealed they were performing at a special Kiss Army event in Las Vegas in November. Now, that event's been completely revamped into "Kiss Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas," which references the band's annual cruise, and the itinerary got an upgrade too. Kiss's Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Tommy Thayer are now playing two performances — one electric and one acoustic — and they've recruited bands like Ratt and Quiet Riot to perform as well. There will also be Q&A panels and other activities during the three-day event.

"The cool thing is, you don't need a ship. We've got everything that you get on a Kiss Kruise. We've got other bands playing," Stanley explained in a video announcing the revamped event. "We're doing a full set... we'll be playing all the songs you wanna hear."

Although longtime drummer Eric Singer hasn't been confirmed in the lineup, this will be the first time the other members of Kiss have performed together since their farewell show in December 2023. It's also notable to point out that these performances will be "unmasked," which means the members won't be donning their iconic makeup.

Kiss Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas is set to go down November 14-16 at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. See the announcement video below.
