During a recent interview with Pollstar, KISS’ Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons further discussed their upcoming avatar show. The spectacle, which was created with Pophouse Entertainment, is currently set to launch in Las Vegas, NV in 2028.
Simmons said the following when asked which eras of KISS the show will focus on:
“It’s going to be the iconic face personas, The Demon, the Starchild, and so on. Who you want to place into that lineup is up to you.”
Stanley also discussed setlists:
“We will have all the classics through the years and some surprises.”
Simmons added:
“You’re gonna get all that stuff, and also new songs.”
He continued when asked about the new tracks:
“Exactly what that means, written by us. We have songs done.”
Pophouse CEO Jessica Koravos also discussed the evolution of the avatars:
“What the crowd got to see at MSG was an early prototype of the KISS avatar concept. A lot has evolved since then — both in terms of creative concept for the show and avatar technology. We are now deep in development with a top-flight creative team headed by Thierry Coup — the team was on set last week testing out pyro effects against a new generation of LED screens to make sure we max out the KISS signature flame throwing. The show concept is a crazy 4D roller coaster ride through the hits, the comic book worlds and personas of KISS.”
