Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame legends KISS have revealed the full programming schedule for the second KISS Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas, returning November 13th-15th at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. Following the success of last year’s fan experience, which drew fans from all 50 states and 32 countries, the 2026 edition delivers more KISS than ever before — and marks the only place fans can see KISS perform live anywhere this year. From morning through late night, the weekend is packed with performances, member appearances, exclusive activities, and indelible moments, including two unmasked KISS sets (one acoustic and one electric) and a historic Ace Frehley all-star tribute.
The Ace Frehley all-star tribute will be a one-night-only celebration of the Spaceman and a moment in KISStory. Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer will come together alongside special guest artists to honor Ace Frehley‘s lasting impact on KISS and rock and roll. Each current member of KISS — Gene, Paul, Tommy and Eric — has personally selected and will individually perform a song as part of the tribute, creating a rare and deeply personal honoring of Ace‘s legacy. Supported by the Ace Frehley band, the set will feature songs spanning every era of his career and surprises fans must be there to witness.
Stanley said, “Another year of the KISS Kruise experience and the best one yet is on the way. Everything we’ve learned at sea and on land over the past years is going into making this the ultimate weekend with us. No ship?!? No problem! What’s so awesome about KISS Kruise: Land-Locked is that it’s a full-scale resort takeover created to give us all 100% of what we’ve come to love and expect. We can’t wait to be back together with the KISS Army and Navy from around the world for more killer performances, incredible artists, events, and exclusive experiences you won’t find anywhere else.”
In addition to KISS, fans will enjoy performances from Night Ranger, former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Keel, Enuff Z’Nuff and Kuarantine, plus appearances from the Rock And Roll Over KISS tribute band, radio host Tommy London and School Of Rock.
Throughout the weekend, fans can expect a packed lineup of programming and immersive resort-wide activations celebrating five decades of KISS history. Highlights include:
* Band meet-and-greets, artist panels including “The Future Of KISS”, Q&As with special guests including Kevin Valentine — the drummer on KISS‘s Psycho Circus album
* Bandmember-hosted fan activities including Gene Simmons‘s Private KISS Collection Show & Tell, Paul Stanley‘s KISS Cook Off cooking competition, Eric Singer‘s Kiss Kruiser Drum Off and Q&A, Tommy Thayer‘s fan-favorite wine tasting and Live Band Karaoke

* Interactive and replica exhibits, photo moments, and rare museum and archival displays
