Dear KISS family,
With the goal of offering a one-of-a-kind, KISS inspired experience for our fellow KISS fans, COSMO ROCKS! PRODUCTIONS and KISS ARMY SPAIN are proud to announce the OFFICIAL PRE PARTY for the KISS KRUISE VEGAS 2026.
This event which will take place at the VIRGIN HOTELS LAS VEGAS on Thursday November 12th from 6:30 pm – 11:30 pm. We are sure the Pre-Party will be a “don’t miss” event for the most die-hard KISS fans. We have put in a lot of effort to have an incredible venue and amazing performances.
We are super excited to present the ACE FREHLEY BAND who will perform a salute to the 50th anniversary of the legendary “Rock and Roll Over” album playing the entire album. The ACE FREHLEY BAND is made up of several musicians that have played in Ace Frehley’s solo band including Ryan Spencer Cook, Jeremy Asbrock, Philip Shouse and Christopher Williams.
Before the salute to “Rock and Roll Over”, Enuff Z’Nuff—the band led by Chip Z’Nuff, a huge KISS fan who, as you know, has performed several times on the KISS Kruises—will be performing. In addition, the current lead guitarist is Luis Kalil (Red Devil Vortex)—the virtuous guitarist from The Handsome Devils, the band that headlined last year’s Pre-Party.
And after Enuff Z’Nuff, Beasto Blanco—Chuck Garric’s band—will kick our asses. As you all know, Chuck is Alice Cooper’s bassist and was a member of ESP (Eric Singer Project). He was also the bassist for UNION (Bruce Kulick and John Corabi) on their late-2005 tour. Also a member of Beasto Blanco is Calico Cooper: vocals and theatrical performance (daughter of the legendary Alice Cooper).
And as if that weren’t enough, we will also feature a performance by Rockstars of Tomorrow. Theyare a group of student rockers who are going blow you away: www.rockstarsoftomorrow.com , They will carry out a small performance where their talent and skill will surprise us, the best way to warm up the vibe for the party.
But there’s more! Tod Howarth—legendary guitarist of Frehley’s Comet—will perform an acoustic set and join the grand finale for a song!
And the night will hold many surprises related to KISS and a final performance featuring special guests we cannot yet reveal.
