KISS's Unmasked Performance At 'Kiss Army Storms Vegas' Will Feature PAUL STANLEY, GENE SIMMONS And 'Special Guests'

KISS has confirmed that Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons will reunite at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas as part of the three-day "KISS Army Storms Vegas" event, which runs from November 14 to November 16.

Stanley and Simmons — along with "special guests" — will play at least one show "unmasked," meaning without their iconic makeup.

It is expected to be Stanley and Simmons's first joint concert since 2023, when KISS wrapped up its "End Of The Road" farewell tour at Madison Square Garden in New York.

KISS's official "KISS Army Storms Vegas" announcement makes no mention of the band's longtime guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer, making it unclear if they will be part of the event.

KISS's unmasked electric show will be in honor of the 50th anniversary of the hottest fan club in the world, KISS Army.

There will also be question-and-answer sessions with Stanley and Simmons, as well as KISS's longtime manager Doc McGhee, where they will share stories, behind-the-scenes moments and answer your most burning questions.

Fans can also expect guest performances, including from former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, as well as surprise appearances, guest sets, tribute bands and unforgettable moments that will make this weekend in Vegas a piece of KISStory.

KISS had previously set a 12-show residency at Planet Hollywood Las Vegas in 2021 and 2022 but ultimately canceled all of the dates.

50 years ago in Terre Haute, Indiana, a small group of fans lit the spark that would become the loudest and proudest fan movement in rock history: the KISS Army. Now, five decades later — and 30 years since the first official KISS convention — KISS is cranking it up to 11 in Las Vegas for the ultimate celebration.

Simmons told Rolling Stone in a November 2023 interview that the second Madison Square Garden "End Of The Road" concert would mark "the final KISS-in-makeup appearance."

Kulick was a member of KISS from 1984 until 1996.

According to Billboard, Kulick is one of only two musicians to have not worn makeup while a member of KISS, the other being Mark St. John.

Kulick had performed with the band again at their Kiss Kruise events in 2018 and 2021.

Simmons recently postponed nearly 20 dates on his forthcoming solo tour with the GENE SIMMONS BAND to 2026.
