KISS has announced the release of KISS Destroys Anaheim ‘76, a newly mixed concert recording from their August 20, 1976 show at Anaheim Stadium. The event, which drew over 42,000 fans, was the band’s largest crowd to date at the time and is now officially available to the public. The recording was originally captured by Eddie Kramer and has been remixed from the original multi-track tapes.

The release features multiple formats, including a Deluxe SHM-CD with a 60-page booklet by Ken Sharp, a 2-LP Picture Disc in a slipcase, a 2-LP color vinyl edition, and a 2-LP black vinyl with 180-gram press. All editions include unreleased photos and memorabilia, with the deluxe versions featuring extensive liner notes and rare imagery.

The full concert spans over 60 minutes and includes performances of tracks such as "Detroit Rock City," "King Of The Night Time World," "Let Me Go, Rock ‘N Roll," "Strutter," "Hotter Than Hell," and "Deuce," along with solo highlights by Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons, and Peter Criss.

The physical products are available exclusively for pre-order on KISSOnline. Digital pre-save is also available, with the album set for release on August 21, 2026.

In addition, KISS will host a second KISS Kruise event in Las Vegas in November, following last year’s successful fan-focused weekend. The event will feature exclusive activations, Q&As, and performances. KISSOnline remains the exclusive platform for early access to new content and behind-the-scenes materials, reinforcing its role in fan engagement.
