**KISS Legends Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Paul Stanley, and Gene Simmons Announce Reunion Concert – First Time Together Since 2001**
In a thunderous announcement that has electrified the rock world, **KISS founding members Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Paul Stanley, and Gene Simmons** have confirmed they will reunite for a historic **one-night-only reunion concert**, marking their first performance together in over two decades. The show is set to take place on **October 31, 2025**, at **Madison Square Garden in New York City**, the birthplace of the band and the launching pad for their legendary career.
This marks the **first full reunion of the original KISS lineup since 2001**, when the band concluded their first “Farewell Tour.” Despite years of internal tension, solo projects, and health battles, the four rock icons are putting differences aside to deliver a night of explosive music and nostalgic celebration.
### The Return of the Originals
Known for their flamboyant stage makeup, pyrotechnic-fueled concerts, and anthemic hits like *“Rock and Roll All Nite”*, *“Detroit Rock City”*, and *“Love Gun”*, the original KISS lineup revolutionized rock in the 1970s. Fans have long called for a reunion of the “Spaceman” (Ace Frehley) and the “Catman” (Peter Criss) alongside “The Demon” (Gene Simmons) and “The Starchild” (Paul Stanley).
Now, in what is being called the ultimate KISS fan fantasy, **all four members will take the stage together one final time**, wearing the classic costumes and makeup that defined an era.
### A Statement of Unity
In a joint statement released Monday morning, the band declared:
> *“The fans built this band. Without them, we wouldn’t be here. For one night, we’re bringing it all back—loud, raw, real, and together. No egos, no excuses. Just KISS, the way it was meant to be.”*
Peter Criss, the band’s original drummer who retired from live performing in 2017, added in an emotional video post:
> *“This isn’t just a concert. It’s a thank you to every fan who ever painted their face, lifted a fist in the air, and believed in the magic of KISS.”*
### Ticket Frenzy and Streaming
Tickets for the reunion show go on sale **June 15th**, and industry insiders expect an instant sellout. VIP packages include meet-and-greet experiences, signed memorabilia, and a backstage tour of the elaborate stage setup.
For fans who can’t make it in person, **the concert will be streamed globally via Netflix and Amazon Prime**, with special behind-the-scenes footage and interviews set to release as part of a companion documentary.
### Legacy and Finality?
While Paul Stanley has teased this as a “thank you show,” fans are speculating this could be **the definitive last time** all four original members perform together. Gene Simmons, who recently turned 75, hinted in an interview that this concert could be their “**last curtain call**,” leaving fans to cherish what may truly be the end of an iconic era.
As the rock world braces for this long-awaited moment, one thing is certain: **on October 31st, KISS will once again set the stage ablaze**, reminding the world why they remain one of the greatest rock bands in history.
