KISS are planning to play their final show in New York City on July 17, 2021 and it looks like things may go out with a big bang. During a Q&A on the 2019 KISS Kruise, manager Doc McGhee revealed that all of the band’s former members, including Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, have been approached about taking part in the concert.
McGhee said the following:
“We want to include everybody that played with KISS to celebrate the 45 years of KISS. Everybody — Vinnie Vincent and everybody else — that [has] played with KISS is part of this whole celebration of 45 years. So we’re still looking at what we’re gonna do on the final show of KISS.”
However, he also added that it may be hard to have multiple members onstage at the same time:
“It’s pretty difficult. When people say, ‘Oh, you should bring Ace and Peter up.’ How do you do that when you have two Catmen and two Spacemen? So you say, ‘Okay. You don’t wear makeup and you wear makeup.’ And then they [Ace and Peter] go, ‘Well, that was my makeup.’ So it’s real hard to do, but we’ll figure it out because they’re very much a part of the heritage of KISS. And they’re acknowledged by Gene and Paul and everybody in this room as the founding members… So, it’s important to you guys [and] it’s important to us. It’s just a matter of the balance and we can bring it where it works for everybody and everybody is having a great time.”
