Paul Stanley recently discussed the future of KISS after the band\u2019s retirement from touring. He shared his thoughts in an interview with\u00a0Rock Of Nations With Dave Kinchen And Shane McEachern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The KISS frontman emphasized that the band\u2019s journey continues beyond live performances. He highlighted upcoming projects including their highly anticipated avatar show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, the band continues. Without touring, there\u2019s so much in the pipeline,\u201d Stanley said. \u201cThis avatar show that\u2019s going to be in Vegas is gonna blow everybody\u2019s minds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stanley went on to distinguish the upcoming show from other digital performances. He expressed confidence in its quality and impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not like what some people have called holograms and all this kind of experimental and kitschy stuff. This is seeing us,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis is as real as I am, and I think it\u2019s gonna just blow people away. And it extends the band that much further.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The musician also reflected on KISS\u2019s unique position in the rock music landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no reason for us to live within the boundaries of other rock bands. They live within those boundaries because that\u2019s all they can be,\u201d Stanley explained. \u201cAnd it\u2019s great, but we are not that \u2014 we\u2019re KISS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The KISS avatar show is tentatively scheduled to premiere in 2027 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stanley\u2019s comments come as the band continues to develop ambitious plans for their post-touring future. They are building on the success of similar digital entertainment ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ultimate Classic Rock\u00a0reported that the avatars are being produced by Swedish company Pophouse Entertainment. This is the same firm behind the successful ABBA Voyage show. The technology requires a custom-built venue and represents a significant investment in cutting-edge digital performance capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gene Simmons has been equally enthusiastic about the project\u2019s potential impact.\u00a0The Buzz\u00a0noted that Simmons claims the show will surpass the Las Vegas Sphere\u2019s spectacle. He promised to \u201cmake that seem like popcorn fart\u201d with multi-sensory effects including fire, heat, and smells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe says details will be revealed in \u2018under two years\u2019, but it\u2019ll be so mind-blowing that it\u2019ll make the Las Vegas Sphere look like a \u2018POPCORN FART\u2019,\u201d Simmons stated. This highlights the band\u2019s confidence in their technological venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The avatar show represents just one element of KISS\u2019s broader strategy to extend their brand beyond traditional touring.\u00a0Ultimate Classic Rock\u00a0revealed that the band has additional plans including a cartoon show and plans to tour the avatar experience worldwide beyond its initial Las Vegas debut. This ensures KISS maintains a global presence even without live performances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paul Stanley recently discussed the future of KISS after the band\u2019s retirement from touring.
