Bruce Kulick will join KISS on guitar at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas on November 15. This special performance will be part of the second night of KISS Kruise Land-Locked, a three-day fan event. Kulick shared, “I’ll be joining them on some songs. We haven’t figured out a set list yet, but I’m excited about that.”
Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Tommy Thayer will perform without their iconic face paint. This will be their first show since they ended their makeup era at Madison Square Garden in December 2023. Kulick, who was the lead guitarist for KISS from 1984 to 1996, is eager to showcase music from his time with the band. “I really have dug into songs I have to play because I feel like they represent the best of what I contributed to the band,” he said. He plans to mix things up with a medley, promising that “everybody will love it.”
This event is significant for two reasons: it marks 50 years of the KISS Army and celebrates 30 years since the first fan gathering. The lineup also includes Sebastian Bach, Ratt’s Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini, and Quiet Riot.
In previous KISS Kruise shows, Kulick switched between electric and acoustic sets. Organizers hint that there may be more guest stars for the plugged-in performance on night two.
Fans can find tickets and show times on the official site. Don’t miss this chance to see KISS in a unique, makeup-free setting!
