KISS recently revealed that it will reunite this November to perform for the first time since the band’s End of the Road farewell tour wrapped up in December 2023. According to a post on the Rock N Roll Experience Facebook page, KISS sent an email to its followers announcing a special fan experience called KISS Army Storms Vegas that will take place November 14-16 in Las Vegas and will boast a special “unmasked” performance by the band.

The news likely has excited a lot of rock fans, but Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider isn’t one of them. The singer took to his X page to express his annoyance over KISS planning to reunite after the band vowed never to play live again after completing the farewell outing.
“So I was told today that a [KISS] reunion in [Las Vegas] has been announce[d],” Snider wrote. “14 months since their last farewell. That may be a new record for them. I can’t believe people still put up with their s—. To me it’s insulting.”
Dee apparently is alluding to the fact that prior to the End of the Road trek, KISS mounted a “Farewell Tour” in 2000 and 2001 that was supposed to have been the band’s live swan song.

Gene Simmons’ Solo Tour Plans
KISS bassist/singer Gene Simmons initially announced an expansive 2025 tour with his solo band, but the majority of those shows recently were either postponed or canceled. The Gene Simmons Band currently has 10 confirmed concerts left on its 2025 itinerary.
Dee Snider’s 2025 Performance Plans
Snider has mainly focused on his career as a solo artist since Twisted Sister finished a farewell tour in 2016. The band did reunite in 2023 to play three songs when they were inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame.
Snider currently has several upcoming performances with Lita Ford. The shows are scheduled for March 28 in Welch, Minnesota; May 30 in New Buffalo, Michigan; August 15 in Lake Charles, Louisiana; August 30 in Lewiston, Idaho; and October 3 in St. Charles, Missouri.
