Overview
- Paul Stanley opened the Nov. 14 outdoor acoustic set at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas by asking fans to raise electric candles for a silent tribute to founding guitarist Ace Frehley.
- The unplugged set began with “Comin’ Home” and featured songs including “Beth” and “Love Her All I Can,” before the lineup delivered an electric show later in the weekend.
- Fans repeatedly chanted “Ace! Ace! Ace!” during events throughout the three-day gathering, with one chant led by opening act Sebastian Bach on Saturday.
- The performing lineup—Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer—played unmasked, marking KISS’s first performances since concluding the End of the Road tour in December 2023.
- Frehley, 74, died Oct. 16 from blunt head trauma after a fall, which the Morris County Medical Examiner ruled accidental; he was privately memorialized in Yonkers and buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.
