KISS founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are ready to show off their athletic skills.

The rockers are set to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, on Saturday, when the Los Angeles Angels take on the Kansas City Royals.

“ready to Rock And Roll All Nite at the Big A?” read the post announcing their appearance. “Be sure to stay after the game for a KISS-themed postgame fireworks show!”

Tickets for the game are on sale now.

Simmons and Stanley are set to reunite again this November for the KISS fan convention, KISS Kruise: Land-locked in Vegas, happening Nov. 13-15 at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. In addition to two unmasked KISS performances, the event will include a tribute to their late bandmate Ace Frehley, who died in October 2025 at age 74.
