Overview

• Frehley told Guitar World he was asked to appear at KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas and declined.
• The fan weekend is slated for November 14–16, 2025 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, produced by Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Pophouse.
• Plans include an acoustic kickoff by the KISS principals with Tommy Thayer, Q&A sessions, and performances by Bruce Kulick, Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot and members of Ratt.
• Frehley criticized the venue choice, arguing the event should have been staged at Madison Square Garden instead of a smaller Las Vegas room.
• The invitation dispute endures, with Simmons saying he welcomed Frehley and Peter Criss to the 2023 finale and Frehley insisting no formal invite arrived, even as he voices affection and says he never rules anything out.
