Are you ready to "Rock and Roll All Nite?"

On Tuesday, April 28, the rock band announced the return of the KISS Kruise: Land-locked in Las Vegas. Following last year's success, the fan experience will take place Nov. 13-15 at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Last year, the cruise featured a string of exclusive experiences, including Q&A panels with members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer, Eric Singer and their longtime manager Doc McGhee. They are all expected to return this year.

This time, the event will introduce an expanded and immersive KISSperience featuring artist panels and Q&As, a look-alike contest, KISS karaoke, “Ask Doc” sessions with McGhee, artist meet and greets and late-night DJs. The event will also include interactive exhibits, a merch store and a Future of KISS panel.

The KISS Kruise will feature two unmasked shows with the band, in addition to a powerhouse lineup of special guests and performers, including an Ace Frehley All-Star Tribute after the rocker died at age 74 on Oct. 16, weeks after suffering a fall at his home.

Tickets will go on sale May 5, with a presale specifically for KISS Army VIP members on Thursday, April 30. Fans who are not KISS Army VIP members have until 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 29 to sign up and gain access to tickets prior to the general sale.

KISS concluded their End of the Road world tour in December 2023. Last November, when they performed on the cruise, the band paid tribute to Frehley.

"Obviously, before we get going — and we're going to have an awesome time — we just wanted to take a moment to think about somebody who was at the foundation of this band, and we're talking about Ace," Stanley told the crowd on Friday, Nov. 14. "We certainly had differences, but that's what family is about."

His family announced his death in a statement shared with PEOPLE, stating, "We are completely devastated and heartbroken. In his last moments, we were fortunate enough to have been able to surround him with loving, caring, peaceful words, thoughts, prayers and intentions as he left this earth."

Earlier this month, Simmons and Stanley reunited at the movie premiere for Deep Water, which is produced by Simmons, in Los Angeles. They were joined by Stanley's daughters and posed for pictures on the red carpet.
