Rock band Kiss will celebrate 50 years of performing in Germany with a special anniversary event on October 30, 2026, at the Mitsubishi Electric Halle in Düsseldorf. This location holds significance as it is where the band performed during their initial visits to the country.

Lead guitarist Tommy Thayer will represent the band as a special guest at the celebration. Thayer noted that while bandmates Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Eric Singer are unable to attend due to busy schedules, he welcomes the opportunity to perform individually. The event will also feature the tribute group Kiss Forever Band and German metal musician Doro Pesch.
