Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame legends KISS have revealed that a second "KISS Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas" will touch down in Vegas this November.

The larger-than-life fan experience will return this year following the success of last year's event, which drew KISS fans from all 50 states and 32 countries.

"KISS Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas" will take place November 13-15 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

This special fan experience is being created in conjunction with co-producers Pophouse, Vibee and Topeka.

Last year's event featured a line-up of exclusive experiences, from Q&A panels with the band to performances from the KISS members themselves.

Highlights included special acoustic and electric sets from the band, their first live appearances together since retiring from touring in 2023.

Attendees were also treated throughout the event to exclusive Q&A sessions with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, as well as longtime manager Doc McGhee — all returning for this year's event.

Other panelists included legendary KISS producers Bob Ezrin and Eddie Kramer, Lynn Goldsmith, famed KISS photographer and KISS Army founders Bill Starkey and Jay Evans.

This year's event will introduce an expanded, immersive "KISSperience," featuring artist panels and Q&As, a KISS look-alike contest, KISS karaoke, "Ask Doc" sessions with McGhee, artist meet-and-greets, late night DJs, and special appearances including renowned KISS photographer Barry Levine, alongside interactive exhibits, a merch store, and a "Future Of KISS" panel.

KISS will return this year with two unmasked shows, featuring Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer set to take the stage rarely seen in such an intimate setting.

The weekend will showcase a powerhouse lineup of special guests and performers, including an Ace Frehley all-star tribute with sit-ins from members of KISS and other surprise guests, as well as NIGHT RANGER, former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, SLAUGHTER, FASTER PUSSYCAT, KEEL and Chris Jericho's 1980s KISS cover band KUARANTINE.

Appearances and performances will also include the ROCK AND ROLL OVER KISS tribute band, radio host Tommy London and School Of Rock.

The celebration will kick off with an official pre-party on November 12, featuring ENUFF Z'NUFF, ACE FREHLEY BAND "Tribute To Ace" performing KISS's "Rock And Roll Over" album and BEASTO BLANCO, the band fronted by long time ALICE COOPER bassist Chuck Garric, setting the stage for a full weekend of music and fan experiences.

This year's "KISS Kruise" celebrates 50 years since KISS's massively popular "Rock And Roll Over" album.

Further programming will be revealed in weeks to come, and fans can expect another jam-packed weekend of exclusive activations, delivering the kind of unique fan-forward experience KISS is so widely recognized for.

Fans can choose from a range of package options, all including access to shows, close-up theater seating, curated KISS gifts and more.

A limited set of packages include photos with members of KISS.

Tickets are set to go on sale on May 5.
