The band has revealed the full programming schedule for the second land-based edition of their annual Kruise, which will take place Nov. 13-15 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

"The Ace Frehley All-Star Tribute will be a one-night-only celebration of the Spaceman and a moment in KISStory," states the band's press release. "Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer will come together alongside special guest artists to honor Ace Frehley’s lasting impact on KISS and rock and roll.

"Each current member of KISS — Gene, Paul, Tommy and Eric — has personally selected and will individually perform a song as part of the tribute, creating a rare and deeply personal honoring of Ace’s legacy. Supported by the Ace Frehley Band, the set will feature songs spanning every era of his career and surprises fans must be there to witness."

KISS will also play two unmasked concerts — one acoustic and one electric — during the weekend. Night Ranger, Bruce Kulick, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Keel and Chris Jericho's Kuarantine will also perform.
