Kiss Rocks Vegas, a concert film recorded at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, hits theaters for one night only May 25, 2016.
Famed for their iconic face paint and stage attire, KISS was formed in New York City in 1973 by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons . Their sensational live performances feature fire breathing, blood-spitting, smoking guitars, shooting rockets, levitating drum kits, and pyrotechnics to spare. Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer round out the band’s lineup.
“See us on the big screen with the awesome power of Surround Sound. Feel like you are in Vegas and don’t be shy to ‘shout it out loud!'”says Paul Stanely.
“J0in us for a ‘crazy crazy night’ in your cinema!” says Gene Simmons.
A select number of cinemas worldwide will be screening the concert in Dolby Atmos, providing a powerfully immersive and moving audio experience for the cinema audience. For more information and to book tickets for the cinema event visit kissmycinema.com.
In an interview with Las Vegas Weekly, Paul Stanley discussed how the idea for the KISS residency came about:
“To spend as much time as we do in Vegas and to live as close as we do, the idea of doing a residency and leaving our stage setup, as opposed to breaking it down nightly, was really appealing.”
“We just finished 42 cities and played for 600,000 people, but that meant that every night the show got disassembled and moved. There’s something appealing and challenging about building a set that doesn’t have to be moved. You don’t have to take into account the practicality of it, being able to be broken down constantly and reassembled. So this was something that we had wanted to do for quite a while; it was just a matter of making sure we found people who were in agreement on how to do it. The Joint was the natural place to do it.”
