KISS has released a brief promotional video teasing an upcoming announcement scheduled for October 16, 2025. The video features archival footage of the band’s original lineup performing live in Detroit, offering a nostalgic glimpse into their early concert legacy while sparking anticipation among fans worldwide.
While details remain under wraps, fans are buzzing about two possible reveals: a long-awaited KISS Alive! boxset or a deluxe reissue of Dressed to Kill, both celebrating their 40th anniversaries this year. Either release would mark a major milestone in the band’s storied discography.
KISS is also turning up the heat on their fan experience game. The previously announced “KISS Army Storms Vegas” event has officially evolved into “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas”, a three-day rock spectacle set for November 14–16, 2025, at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
Produced in collaboration with Pophouse, Topeka, and Vibee, the event reimagines the high-octane energy of the famed KISS Kruise — minus the ocean. Expect pyrotechnics, immersive fan zones, exclusive merch, and a lineup of performances that channel the spirit of the band’s seafaring legacy, now docked on the Las Vegas Strip.
This marks a new chapter for KISS, who officially retired from touring after their final show on December 2, 2023, at Madison Square Garden. The “End of the Road World Tour” closed the curtain on their live performance era, but the band isn’t done yet. Starting in 2027, KISS plans to continue their legacy through digital avatars and virtual performances, ushering in a bold new era of rock spectacle.
Whether it’s a boxset, a surprise release, or something entirely unexpected, October 16 promises to be another unforgettable moment in KISS history. Stay tuned.
