Rock fans get a head start on the KISS Kruise Vegas weekend with this pre-party at 24 Oxford inside Virgin Hotels Las Vegas. The lineup leans hard into that classic KISS-adjacent sound, with sets from Ace Frehley Band, Enuff Z'Nuff, Beasto Blanco, Rockstars of Tomorrow, and Tod Howarth spread across the night. Expect the kind of energy you'd find at a gathering of longtime KISS Army members — loud guitars, face paint here and there, and plenty of people who know every lyric to every song being played.

The night builds toward a grand finale with special guests joining in, adding an element of surprise for anyone who's spent years following this band and its extended musical family. It's less a concert and more a reunion, where strangers become friends over shared setlists and stories about tours from decades past. Given the intimate size of 24 Oxford, this feels like a chance to be close to the music and the community that's formed around it, rather than watching from a distance in a massive arena.
