KISS has announced the reissue of the album’s hit single "Beth" with b-side "Detroit Rock City", using the Italian single jacket art and Casablanca Records design with metallic gold ink.

The reissue includes a full merch line featuring a "Beth" KISS Smash Black Tote Bag, "Beth" Crop Raglan t-shirt, and "Beth" Destroyer Jacket.

The release is available at shopkissonline.com.

A newly mixed 60-minute concert from the original multi-track tapes, recorded by Eddie Kramer, is also being released on 1CD and 180 gram 2LP vinyl, with a booklet containing liner notes, unreleased photos, and memorabilia.

The concert features Gene Simmons' "cookie monster" vocal style and includes performances of tracks such as "Do You Love Me", "God Of Thunder", and "Rock And Roll All Nite".

The reissue is set for release on August 21.

A full-scale recreation of the KISS Destroyer stage is set to debut on September 12, 2026, exactly 50 years after the original tour ended.

The event, known as the Spirit Of 76 Expo, will be a 1970s-themed charity expo supporting St.

Jude Children’s Research Hospital and will feature multiple stages, vendors, and special guests including Felipe Rose of the Village People.

The stage was built using original blueprints provided by Mark Ravitz, the original stage designer.

A previously unknown detail from the blueprints reveals a planned flying platform for Gene Simmons.

The event will be hosted with support from Bobby Getchell, Russell Dannecker, and Phil Diehl."
