KISS To Reunite Again For 2026 Las Vegas Event

Rock legends KISS will be coming out of retirement once again for a special Las Vegas event later this year, frontman Paul Stanley confirmed to fans during a Question and Answer session at the Indy KISS Fan Expo in Indianapolis on Saturday (April 11th.)

Stanley told the crowd that plans are underway to stage a 2026 installment of their KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas, following a successful inaugural event last November that celebrated the 50th anniversary of the KISS Army, their fan launched fan club.

Paul confirmed plans for the event to return this November. He told the expo audience (via Blabbermouth), "So, the funny thing with the KISS Kruise, a couple of things. When we were first approached with the idea of doing a KISScruise, when we first heard about it, I went, 'Who is gonna go on a KISS cruise?' And we've had people from 33 countries around the world for every time we went out. So it was amazing.

"But the crazy part about it is that over the years everybody started doing cruises, so we can't get a ship most of the time. So last year we decided, I said, 'Well, let's do a 'KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas'.' So we did that, and it was really fun.

"Having the band play was amazing and seeing everybody was great. And that was the first one. We'll do it again this coming year. We'll do it in November. And as good as that one was, this one's gonna be so much better, because we learn as we're going.

"And this next KISS Kruise in Vegas is gonna be awesome. I mean, we can't wait to play, and we can't wait to have the bands we're gonna have and be with you again. So, pack your bags."
