KISS will reunite for the first time since the band's breakup on their farewell tour, End of the Road Kiss Army fan club .
Scheduled to take place this weekend, between November 14th and 16th, at the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, KISS Army Storms Vegas is an event made for fans. The celebration marks the 50th anniversary of the KISS Army fan club and will be the band's first appearance since the end of the End Of The Road in December 2023.
Initially, the event was only supposed to feature a show by vocalist and guitarist Paul Stanley and bassist Gene Simmons , with some guests. Then, the band confirmed the presence of guitarist Tommy Thayer , and now, they announce the participation of drummer Eric Singer . Therefore, KISS will perform with the complete lineup in two shows: one acoustic and one electric, without makeup and typical costumes.
The event will also feature performances by Quiet Riot, Stephen Pearcy , and Warren DeMartini performing songs from Ratt , School of Rock , and Sebastian Bach . In addition, former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick and many more will be present.
Gene Simmons invited Ace Frehley and Peter Criss to the event.
Previously, Gene Simmons, bassist and co-founder of KISS, commented that he did not rule out the possibility of sharing the stage with his former bandmates , the late Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, during the KISS Army: Storms Vegas .
“Of course,” he replied when asked about the possibility of them appearing at the event. Despite the invitation still standing, he acknowledges the chances are slim. “I personally invited Ace and Peter to join us on stage at Madison Square Garden [for the final show of their farewell tour]. But they said no. 'I want this, I want that.' 'You can't have this, but join us to celebrate the beginning.'”
