The iconic rock band Kiss is set to enchant their legion of fans once again with an electrifying appearance at the “KISS Army Storms Vegas” event, scheduled to take place from November 14 to 16, 2025, at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. This highly anticipated gathering marks the band's first public performance since concluding their “End of the Road” farewell tour in December 2023. Highlighting the event, longtime Kiss members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will take the stage without their signature makeup, alongside fellow band members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer. Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach and the glam metal group Black N' Blue, which counts Thayer as a former guitarist, will join this illustrious lineup, adding a nostalgic flair to the weekend's activities.

The event is a celebration not only of Kiss’ five-decade-long legacy but also the 50th anniversary of the Kiss Army, a fan club that has played an integral role in the band's journey. Adding to the excitement, the weekend will include appearances by Kiss Army founders Bill Starkey and Jay Evans, and promises a diverse array of activities. Fans will have the unique opportunity to engage with the band during Q&A sessions, gaining insight into life on the road and personal anecdotes about their storied career.

For enthusiasts of rock music, the inclusion of Bruce Kulick, a former Kiss guitarist, is particularly noteworthy. Kulick, who was part of the band from 1984 until 1996, and distinguished for being one of only two non-makeup members during his tenure, will perform a special set. The event will feature performances by Kiss tribute bands Mr. Speed and Kiss Nation, keeping the spirit and sound of the band alive throughout the weekend. These acts will add a layer of immersive entertainment, promising fans a taste of the rock spectacle Kiss is famously known for.

A highlight of the gathering will be a more intimate and personal experience for the fans, as assured by Gene Simmons. Unlike the grandiosity of their typical stage shows, the performances at this event will forgo the elaborate pageantries such as levitating drum sets. Instead, the focus will be on creating a rich, personal connection with their audience, turning the convention into more than just a concert—a heartfelt homage to the community that has supported them through the decades. This event reflects an ethos of closeness and gratitude, as the band looks to share the stories and memories built over decades of relentless touring and performing.

For fans around the globe, ‘KISS Army Storms Vegas' stands as a beacon of what makes Kiss more than just a band—it is a cultural phenomenon fueled by its fans. With each element meticulously crafted for ultimate fan engagement, this memorable weekend will stand as a testament to Kiss's lasting influence in the rock music realm. Bruce Kulick, Tommy Thayer, Sebastian Bach, and Black N' Blue joining Kiss, ensures that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that embraces the band's illustrious past while looking forward to a musical future.
