KISS recently announced that their previously announced “KISS Army Storms Vegas” event will “transform” into “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas”.
The special fan experience is set to take place November 14th to 16th, 2025 at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas and it is being created with co-producers Pophouse, creators of boutique music vacations Topeka and music-led destination experience company Vibee.
Newly included activities include a special acoustic KISS “kick-off” set on Friday, November 14, along with performances from former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini performing the music of RATT, ex-Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot, Black ‘N Blue, Chris Jericho’s Kuarantine, KISS tribute bands Mr. Speed and KISS Nation, School Of Rock, comedian Craig Gass and DJ Noiz.
There will also be question-and-answer sessions with KISS co-founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, as well as longtime KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer manager Doc McGhee. Other panelists include KISS producer Bob Ezrin, KISS photographer Lynn Goldsmith and KISS Army founders Bill Starkey and Jay Evans.
The “Everything KISS” paradise will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the KISS Army and the 30th anniversary of the first KISS fan convention. This event will mark KISS’s first performance together since retiring from touring in December 2023, offering fans a unique experience with both acoustic and electric shows featuring Simmons, Stanley, and Thayer as special guests.
Official Experience Packages for “KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas,” which promise a rock ‘n’ roll-filled weekend adventure, are available exclusively through Vibee. Each Vibee package includes a three-night stay at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, access to the KISS unmasked acoustic and electric live shows, question-and-answer sessions with KISS members, all panel discussions, artist performances, and various activities. Additionally, attendees will receive a curated “KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas” gift, an event poster signed by the band members, photos with KISS memorabilia, and a collectible laminate and lanyard.
