## Key points

- KISS is developing an immersive avatar show, tentatively planned for Las Vegas in 2028.
- Paul Stanley says it will be an experience, not a recreated concert.
- The show is expected to include classics, surprises and new songs.

## Summary

Paul Stanley says KISS’s planned avatar show is being developed as an immersive, music-led experience rather than a digital recreation of a live concert. Tentatively planned for Las Vegas in 2028, it is intended to appeal beyond the band’s existing fans and could mark the first major US project for Swedish music company Pophouse Entertainment.

The show will feature the band’s iconic personas, classic songs, surprises and, according to Gene Simmons, new music. The avatars previewed at KISS’s final concert in 2023 were described as eight-foot fantasy superheroes; Pophouse says the concept and technology have since evolved. The reported deal, worth more than $300 million, gave Pophouse rights to the band’s catalogue, name, image and likeness, while Simmons previously said about $200 million was being invested in the show.
