KISS are plotting a return to the stage just about two years after their farewell show.
Fans on the band’s email list received a notice that the group will perform an “unmasked” show as part of KISS Army Storms Vegas at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, which runs from November 14th through the 16th. The event is a celebration of the fan club’s 50th anniversary.
KISS last performed together — wearing makeup — on December 2nd, 2023 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
The announcement of a one-off show without makeup isn’t that surprising, since Gene Simmons repeatedly called that New York City show “the final KISS-in-makeup appearance.”
And Simmons post-KISS career is off to a rough start, as he postponed 17 dates on his spring solo tour until next year. The trek now starts May 2nd in Peachtree City, Georgia and wraps up May 15th in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The shows were reportedly scrapped due to low ticket sales.
