Because nothing says “farewell tour” quite like… scheduling the next chapter, KISS are once again expanding their cruise-turned-residency universe with KISS Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas, set for November 13–15, 2026 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
Newly announced performers include NIGHT RANGER, BRUCE KULICK (ex-KISS), SLAUGHTER, FASTER PUSSYCAT, KEEL, and KUARANTINE (Chris Jericho’s KISS tribute project), ensuring that the spirit of the band lives on in at least three different timelines at once.
The event will feature two KISS Unmasked performances from Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer — because retirement, in KISS terminology, apparently functions more like a soft reset than an ending.
Also on the bill is an Ace Frehley All-Star Tribute, featuring rotating guest appearances from KISS members and friends, just in case anyone was worried there wouldn’t be enough versions of the same band happening simultaneously.
An official pre-party on November 12 will include sets from the Ace Frehley Band, ENUFF Z’NUFF, and BEASTO BLANCO.
VIP presales go first, with various early access windows for members of the KISS Army, who now basically operate as the franchise’s lifelong subscription service.
At this point, calling it a farewell tour feels less like a final chapter and more like a recurring annual event — somewhere between Halloween and tax season, except with more pyrotechnics and wigs.
