KISS performed their first show in two years on November 15, 2023, at teh Venetian Theater in Las Vegas, nevada, dedicating a moment to former guitarist Ace Frehley. The performance was part of “KISS Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas,” a four-night event for fans. The band is performing without their iconic makeup for this event.
Gene Simmons led the tribute to Frehley, acknowledging past differences while emphasizing the importance of family. He jokingly suggested Frehley was watching from the planet Jendell – a reference to Frehley’s persona during his time with the band – before leading the audience in a moment of silence marked by raised battery-operated candles. Fans were reportedly handed the candles prior to the show.

Following the tribute, KISS delivered an 11-song setlist focusing on deeper cuts from their extensive discography. The setlist included songs that hadn’t been performed live since 2019, adding to the special nature of the event.
