During a Q&A session at the “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas” event, KISS frontman Paul Stanley addressed the possibility of new music. He said the following:
“There may be some music in the works. We like to tell you what we’re doing, the things that are planned. The problem is that so much of what we may bring up never comes to fruition, [but] music, yeah, that looks pretty damn… more than possible. Probable. I’m not going to give you any hints, but I only write when there’s a project — and I’ve been writing.”

Foreigner’s Jeff Pilson commented:
“The energy the band has felt knowing we’ll be touring with Skynyrd this coming summer has been electric! Two bands with plenty of iconic songs, dueling guitars, double trouble and double vision are gonna set each and every stage on fire! No question this will be THE go-to event of the summer!”
Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant added:
“I’m excited to share the stage with Foreigner and hear all their amazing hits! I’ve always been a fan, and I believe the audience will love this tour. Lynyrd Skynyrd and Foreigner together — it doesn’t get much better than that. See y’all in 2026!”
During an interview with Metal Hammer, Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine expressed a desire to play the band’s final show in space. According to him, it would be a “fitting climax.”
Mustaine said the following:
“I hope we’ll be playing up in space. I think that will be a really fitting climax. And I’m not talking about on the side of a vomit comet. A gig on the moon, a full moon landing, that would be cool.”
He continued:
“I saw they sent up a bunch of celebrities into space and I thought ‘Well, if them, why not me?’, you know? I’m just watching how that all progresses. I know Elon Musk and Richard Branson were working on interstellar travel. I think people are going to be travelling to space a lot sooner than you think.”
He also added:
“People already travel over 40,000 feet altitude, and when you get to that kind of atmosphere you’re basically already in space. So I do think it’s going to happen. The question is, are people going to be able to inhabit the moon?”
During an appearance at the “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas” event, director Joseph McGinty Nichol (aka McG) and producer Mark Canton shared some more details on KISS’ upcoming biopic “Shout It Out Loud.” According to Nichol, his “goal is to give everybody something you can go to the theater and just have your face melted.”
Nichol said the following:
“I think KISS is the most exciting rock n’ roll band in history, and because of that, we owe the [KISS] Army the most exciting film in history. I think with this band, the fact that this band broke on a live record, [they] broke on a live record because people want to feel what it was like to go to the show. I’m from Michigan, so I feel a particular affinity to the band. My goal is to give everybody something you can go to the theater and just have your face melted and just feel the heat coming off the stage — and for that matter, coming off the screen — which is what I get so excited about at a KISS show. Then, when it gets to the streamers and you can watch it at home and live this incredible story that is far more strange than fiction – two buddies, a cab driver [driving] to Madison Square Garden [saying], ‘One day, that’s going to be me,’ and a substitute teacher whose mother is a Holocaust survivor. Against all odds, didn’t get it done as WICKED LESTER, put the paint on, developing personas, it’s the ultimate rock n’ roll fantasy, and it’s going to kick your fuckin’ ass.”
Canton went on to say it will be “affirmational”:
“Both McG and I have a history of making movies for movie fans. Music [and] movies go together in everything that we do, and we know that this is the age where you have to make choices, and what is going to get you out of your house and rocking? Where is the connection? You have a lot of choices, and, of course, affordability is something we’re all hearing about [right now], but we can assure you that for all of your hard-earned effort, money, family and everything else, that you’re going to go out, you’re going to be inspired. We’re going to have you go into the theater feeling that connection that you have all earned over the years, and you’re going to come out of the theater that much the better for it… We’re really focused on good stories well-told. It is not just about the event — it’s about telling a story about these two incredible individuals who came together against all odds. It’s that type of story that everyone relates to, I think more than ever these days around the world. We’re really proud of the screenplay. We feel like it’s going to be not just a fun movie, but a great movie.”
Nichol also added:
“I think more than any other band in the history of rock n’ roll, there is rock n’ roll before KISS, and there is rock n’ roll after KISS. If you think of ‘The Social Network’ — there was the world before Facebook, then Facebook happened, and it was forever changed, and now it’s just a part of our world. Rock n’ roll was pretty straightforward until KISS came along and blew it up, literally and figuratively, with bombs and pyrotechnics and spitting blood and costumes and fun and explosiveness and providing a life that was larger than our own… Taylor Swift has pyrotechnics. That all traces back to KISS. This is the inflection point in the movie where the world was forever changed through the power of rock ‘n’ roll.”
