Kiss has revealed more special guests for their upcoming Kiss Army Storms convention and reunion show in Las Vegas, including additional bandmates and fellow rockers.
During the weekend-long event taking place from Nov. 14 to 16 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley will be joined by longtime Kiss lead guitarist Tommy Thayer for an unmasked electric show — marking the first reunion since their farewell tour ended in December 2023.
In addition, Thayer’s former band, Black ‘n Blue will also take part in the event, as will former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach. Additional guests include tribute bands Mr. Speed and Kiss Nation: The Kiss Tribute Show.
Kiss Army Storms Vegas will also feature Q&A sessions with members of the band, a panel with the band’s longtime manager Doc McGhee and special appearances from Kiss Army founders Bill Starkey and Jay Evans, and a performance from former Kiss lead guitarist Bruce Kulick.
Simmons recently shared of the event: “The Kiss conventions begat the Kiss Kruise. We decided to do that, in essence, to get closer to the fans. Because when you’re up on that stage, whether you’re playing a stadium or arena, there’s all that energy going off the stage, visual and sound and all that. And even though there’s lots of energy coming from the fans up there, it’s not as personal, because there’s a lot of them … The fans are taking over the Virgin Hotel, so we’re attending to celebrate in the party. But this ain’t a Kiss concert, so we’ll be doing Q&A, and of course, we’ll play, we’ll get up there. So it’s much more informal. It’s kind of like a gathering of the tribes. We promised we would never tour again, and we’re not, but it’s a party celebrating the legacy and the fans, and we should be there, and that’s what’s going on.”
