KISS announces ‘Land-Locked in Vegas’ fan experience for November
Rock legends KISS will return to Las Vegas this fall for the second “KISS Kruise: Land-Locked in Vegas” fan experience, the band announced Tuesday.
The event is scheduled for Nov. 13-15 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The weekend features two unmasked sets from KISS members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer, marking a rare appearance in an intimate setting.
The 2026 lineup includes an Ace Frehley all-star tribute set featuring members of KISS and surprise guests. Other performers scheduled for the weekend include Night Ranger, Bruce Kulick, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Keel, and Kuarantine.
This year’s event celebrates the 50th anniversary of the band’s “Rock and Roll Over” album. Programming includes Q&A panels with the band and manager Doc McGhee, a KISS look-alike contest, karaoke, and interactive exhibits. A pre-party on Nov. 12 will feature Enuff Z’Nuff and Beasto Blanco.
“KISS has been known for exceptional and first-of-its-kind fan events that always put the fans first,” the band said in a statement. Last year’s inaugural Vegas event drew attendees from all 50 states and 32 countries.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on May 5 at KISSKruiseVegas.com. Pre-sale access begins April 30 for KISS Army VIP members and May 1 for returning 2025 attendees. Package options include theater seating and curated gifts, with limited packages offering photo opportunities with the band.
