Kiss confirm programming for Ace Frehley all-star tribute concert in Las Vegas
Kiss have confirmed details for their all-star tribute concert for the late Ace Frehley, which will take place at the 2026 Kiss Kruise: Land-Locked in Las Vegas event from November 13th to 15th.
The iconic rock band annually hosts a fan event known as the Kiss Kruise; historically, it has taken place on large cruise liners, but 2026 will mark the second iteration of the revamped landlocked resort experience.
Last October, Kiss said goodbye to their former guitarist, Ace Frehley, who passed away at the age of 74. Now, the ‘Detroit Rock City’ will officially pay tribute to their late friend, surrounded by their biggest fans.
“The Ace Frehley All-Star Tribute will be a one-night-only celebration of the Spaceman and a moment in Kisstory,” the band has shared by way of press release.
“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,” they added.
The statement also revealed that each current Kiss member, including Eric, Tommy, Paul and Gene, 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.”
The set, as supported by the Ace Frehley band, will “feature songs spanning every era of his career and surprises fans must be there to witness.”
Across the weekend, Night Ranger, Bruce Kulick, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Keel, and Chris Jericho’s Kuarantine will also perform. Kiss will also perform one acoustic and one electric unmasked concert.
Before the festivities kick off in full, a pre-party will feature Enuff Z’Nuff, the Ace Frehley Band performing Kiss’ 1976 Rock and Roll Over album, Beasto Bianco, and more acts yet to be announced.
Several other events will celebrate “five decades of Kiss history,” including Kiss Army karaoke, late-night DJs, a Kiss look-alike contest, rare museum and archival displays, band meet-and-greets, artist panels and more.
