Gene Simmons has confirmed that KISS is currently working on new music in the studio. The bassist disclosed that the track was written by guitarist Paul Stanley and will be released “at some point.” Simmons shared this exciting news during an interview for the KISSbySienna show, hosted by dedicated fan Sienna Hernandez. While discussing their recent activities, Simmons mentioned, “KISS is in the studio right now. We just recorded a new song, by the way, that Paul wrote. I can’t say anything more about it. And it will be released at some point,” encapsulating the band’s current creative efforts.
Furthermore, Simmons hinted at unreleased KISS tracks that are set to debut as part of their highly anticipated avatar show, which is slated to premiere in Las Vegas in 2028. During an insightful conversation with journalist Katherine Turman, Simmons elaborated on the different phases of the iconic group that would be represented in the show. He mentioned, “It will be the iconic personas, The Demon, the Starchild, and so on. Who you want to put in that lineup is up to you.” In an exciting revelation regarding the setlist, Simmons shared, “You’ll have all of that and also new songs. Exactly what that means: written by us. We have songs ready,” hinting at the innovative direction in which KISS is heading.
The KISS avatar show is undergoing significant technological enhancements, providing fans with a cutting-edge experience. This groundbreaking show marks the first major introduction into the North American market for Pophouse Entertainment, a Swedish music investment company co-founded by Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA fame. Established in 2004, Pophouse Entertainment is well-known for producing the critically acclaimed ABBA Voyage. Through a lucrative agreement valued at over US$300 million, the company acquired the group’s catalog, brand, and intellectual property.
Jessica Koravos, CEO of Pophouse, shared insights into the technological enhancements of the KISS avatars. Following an early prototype showcased at Madison Square Garden in New York, Koravos explained that significant advancements had been made. A talented creative team, led by Thierry Coup, is refining the avatar technology for an unparalleled experience. Koravos mentioned, “The show concept is an intense 4D rollercoaster that travels through KISS’s hits, comics and personas.” With cutting-edge pyrotechnics, LED screens, and the band’s iconic flame-throwing, the show promises to be a sensory extravaganza for KISS fans worldwide.
