KISS frontman Paul Stanley has shared more details about the band’s long-awaited digital avatar show, explaining that the project is intended to offer an immersive experience rather than simply recreate a traditional rock concert. In a November 2026 interview with Billboard, the musician discussed the ambitious production and the future of the band’s larger-than-life characters.
The upcoming attraction is being developed with Swedish entertainment company Pophouse, which acquired the group’s catalog and related intellectual property in 2024. The project was first previewed during KISS‘s final concert at Madison Square Garden in New York in December 2023.
They’re great new partners, they’re infusing so much money into KISS; you’re gonna have theme parks and cartoons and movies… just some amazing stuff coming. They’re very cognizant of the fact that the same-old isn’t the way to do it… and want to make it easier for fans who want to control the content. – Gene Simmons
When will this show arrive?
…in the next year to two years, at a place that is soon to be announced. They’re really putting a lot of effort into it. – Gene Simmons
It’s far more complicated than I certainly anticipated. It’s quite complex. But the rewards are that much greater, too. – Paul Stanley
So, what can fans expect from it?
The idea was never to replicate a concert. That’s not what this is about. It’s to create an experience and almost make us your tour guides into something unworldly, and yet totally based in the music. And the idea was never to do something that was appealing exclusively to a KISS fan; we wanted to create a must-see, so to speak, regardless of your taste in music. That’s what we’re creating. – Paul Stanley
KISS concluded their regular “End Of The Road” farewell tour at Madison Square Garden in December 2023.
