KISS Rocks Vegas
KISS Rocks Vegas is a live album from the American hard rock band, and it also came out as a DVD and Blu-ray. It was released on 26 August 2016 through Ward Records, and it is the band's seventh live album.
The recording comes from their residency at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, which ran from 5 to 23 November 2014 as part of their 40th-anniversary tour. Before the home release, the concert film played in cinemas worldwide on 25 May 2016, then arrived on pay-per-view on 14 June 2016. It catches a band four decades into a career that began with their 1974 debut, and it suits anyone who wants to see how they staged an anniversary run in Vegas.
