KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas 2026 to Feature Two KISS Sets and Ace Frehley Tribute

KISS are bringing back KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas in 2026. The event took the place of the band’s long-running annual cruise last year, and will return this November with two unmasked sets from KISS, as well as an all-star tribute to the late Ace Frehley.

The KISS extravaganza is set for November 13 through 15th at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. In addition to the two KISS sets from Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer, and the all-star Ace Frehley tribute (featuring guest appearances by members of KISS), other acts on the bill include Night Ranger, Bruce Kulick, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, and more.

There will also be a November 12th pre-party with members of the Ace Frehley band, as well as Enuff Z’Nuff and Beasto Blanco. And throughout the weekend, there will be activities with members of KISS and other rockers, including Q&As, artist panels, look-alike contests, karaoke, meet & greets, and more.

At last year’s event, KISS performed as a full band for the first time since ending their farewell tour in December 2023, albeit unmasked. Sadly, founding KISS guitarist Frehley had died a month earlier after suffering a fall at his home studio.

In other news, KISS are preparing to launch an avatar show in Las Vegas in 2028. The experience is being created with Pophouse, the company behind the ABBA Voyage show in London.
