Legendary rock band KISS has reimagined its “KISS Army Storms Vegas” event as KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas, set for November 14–16, 2025, at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The event aims to capture the essence of the KISS Kruise experience — on land.
KISS will perform two unmasked sets: an intimate acoustic show on November 14 and an electric performance later the same night. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Tommy Thayer will headline, offering a raw and personal encounter for fans.
The lineup also features performances by former members like Bruce Kulick, alongside special guest acts such as Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini performing Ratt hits, Sebastian Bach, rock veterans Quiet Riot and Black ’N Blue, tribute bands Mr. Speed and KISS Nation, School of Rock, comedian Craig Gass, and DJ Noiz.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to attend Q&A panels with KISS members, manager Doc McGhee, producer Bob Ezrin, photographer Lynn Goldsmith, and KISS Army founders Bill Starkey and Jay Evans. A special session titled “The Future of KISS” will outline the band’s upcoming projects.
Experience packages through Vibee include access to both shows, a three-night stay at the host hotel, exclusive merchandise, memorabilia photos, collectible passes, and more. The event honors the 50th anniversary of the KISS Army and the 30th anniversary of the band’s first fan convention.
This marks KISS’s first performance since ending their iconic makeup tour in December 2023, but remains true to their legacy of fan-centric engagement and theatrical presentation.
