KISS to perform in conjunction with Tribeca Film Festival 'Biography: KISStory' screening

By Megan Armstrong | Last updated 4/29/21

It's been nearly 50 years since KISS formed in 1973, but they're still pushing the envelope and notching first-time experiences.

According to KISS's official website, the legendary (and famously masked) hard rockers will give a first-ever performance for the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. The band will take the stage at an undisclosed location right after Part One Biography: KISStory's screening.

The post reads, in part: "Founding members Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons will be joined by current band members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer for a multi-song, live, performance at the event."

JUST ANNOUNCED! We are set to rock the stage at the 2021 @Tribeca Festival for a historic performance on Friday, June 11th following the screening of our new @AETV documentary, @Biography: KISStory! https://t.co/LqG17aaUk2 pic.twitter.com/dKAwOc28fe
