After months of anticipation, KISS is proud to announce the triumphant return of the legendary KISS Kruise brand — this time with a twist. The highly anticipated KISS Army Storms Vegas weekend will officially be rebranded as KISS Kruise: Landlocked, because nobody does branding quite like KISS. I'm also not sure if that's a compliment or an insult. Maybe a little of both?
Set to take place at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas between November 14 and 16, this immersive 3-day KISS fan celebration brings all the energy and excitement of the open seas to the heart of Sin City.
And in true KISS fashion (in that they're never, ever truly going away), a second special unmasked acoustic kickoff performance has just been added, giving fans even more face time with rock royalty. Both acoustic and electric unmasked performances will feature the legendary Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Tommy Thayer, who will also take part in panels, Q&As, and exclusive fan experiences throughout the weekend. Outside KISS, the lineup includes:
- Bruce Kulick
- Pearcy DeMartini (performing the music of Ratt)
- Sebastian Bach
- Quiet Riot
- Black ‘N Blue (with special guest Tommy Thayer)
- Kuarantine
- MR. SPEED
- KISS Nation: The KISS Tribute Show
- School of Rock
- DJ Noiz
Plus the following special guests and panels:
- Craig Gass (comedian/host)
- Q&A with KISS
- Doc McGhee (KISS manager)
- Bob Ezrin (producer of Destroyer, The Elder, and more)
- Lynn Goldsmith (legendary photographer)
- KISS Army Founders Bill Starkey & Jay Evans
- Artist panels and a deep-dive discussion on The Future of KISS
Get your tickets here and keep an eye out for KISS to return in other ways without actually going on tour, this way they were technically right about their final tour.
