Kiss Avatars Gear Up For Eternal Rock In Las Vegas With Brand New Songs

Classic rock legends Kiss seem to have their ducks in a row with regard to the upcoming avatar show they have been talking about. The band just confirmed plans for a groundbreaking show launching in Las Vegas in 2028. This production will feature stunning digital versions of the group alongside fresh music written by the original members.

The announcement comes from a detailed interview in the May 2026 issue of Pollstar magazine. Founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley spoke alongside manager Doc McGhee and Pophouse Entertainment chief executive Jessica Koravos. Pophouse is the company behind the hugely successful ABBA Voyage experience that has blown fans away with its realistic presentation. Kiss becomes the first major American rock act to create a full scale virtual concert of this kind and I suspect fans will line up eagerly to check it out.

Simmons and Stanley first teased the avatar concept at the end of their final live tour in December 2023 at Madison Square Garden. At that farewell show the band unveiled early digital versions of themselves on giant screens. Now those ideas have evolved into a complete production set for a custom built theater in Las Vegas. The show was originally eyed for 2027 but has shifted to 2028 to allow more time for perfection.

Details paint a picture of an immersive spectacle far beyond the typical concert experience. Koravos described it as a crazy 4D roller coaster ride through the hits, the comic book worlds, and the iconic personas of Kiss. Fans can expect the classic Demon, Starchild, and other signature looks brought to life through advanced motion capture technology. The band members themselves took part in the filming and performance capture sessions to ensure the avatars feel authentic and energetic.

Music will play a central role in keeping the experience fresh. Stanley noted that the set will include all the classics through the years and some surprises. Simmons went even further and confirmed the inclusion of brand new songs. Exactly what that means is material written by us, he explained. This marks the first new Kiss music in years and promises to blend timeless anthems like Rock And Roll All Nite with original tracks created specifically for the avatar format.

The project builds on the bands long history of innovation. From their fire breathing stage shows to their larger than life comic book personas Kiss has always pushed boundaries. By partnering with Pophouse the group ensures its legacy endures long after the human members step away from the road. Simmons has often said that being an icon means you can stay young forever and this virtual experience makes that promise more plausible.

For longtime fans and new listeners alike the 2028 launch offers a chance to experience Kiss like never before. The avatars will deliver high energy performances night after night without the limitations of touring schedules or physical wear. For aging rock stars that sounds like a particularly welcome development. Ticket sales and exact venue details are expected soon but anticipation is already building among fans.

This move secures Kiss a place in entertainment history. The band that defined arena rock for decades now pioneers the next chapter in live music technology. Rock and roll all nite takes on a whole new meaning when the show can go on forever. Fans eager for more can look forward to updates as the 2028 opening approaches and the avatars prepare to bring the thunder back to Las Vegas.

I have to admit, even as someone who is not a big Kiss fan, I would be willing to wait in line to see a show like this if it is as good as the ABBA show I have heard so much about. I suspect we will see many more classic acts come up with their own avatar-based productions in the future.
