Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Kiss have sold their music catalog, name, image and likeness — including their iconic makeup designs — to Pophouse Entertainment, the Sweden-based music investment firm behind ABBA’s “Voyage” hologram show. While terms of the deal were not officially announced, Bloomberg and Associated Press said it was worth upwards of $300 million.
In a statement, Pophouse plans to promote the group’s “iconic music, enigmatic personas, and expressive imagery for generations to come.” Indeed, news of the deal arrives just four months after Kiss unveiled plans for an avatar concert similar to ABBA’s with digital versions of the group.
“Our partnership will fuse the rich history and iconic status of KISS with cutting-edge technology, allowing fans – now and in the future – to experience the band like never before,” said Pophouse CEO Per Sundin at the time of that deal.
Since its launch in London in July of 2022, “ABBA Voyage” has grossed more than $1 million per week and last year Universal Music chairman Lucian Grainge announced plans to take the show around the world, with Las Vegas recently rumored as a destination. ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus is a co-founder of Pophouse, which over the past two years has also acquired catalogs by the late Swedish DJ-artist Avicii, the electronic music group Swedish House Mafia and American singer Cyndi Lauper.
Kiss teased their forthcoming digital show at the final concert of their “End of the Road” tour in New York last year when avatar versions of the band closed the show. The first digital Kiss show is scheduled for 2027.
Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons said, “We have always been breaking new ground in popular culture, and this partnership will ensure that we continue to do so for years to come. Because what Pophouse is doing, is breaking rules. We already have several plans in development.”
The band was formed by Simmons and co-founder Paul Stanley in 1973 after the two worked together in a group called Wicked Lester. Kiss signed with Neil Bogart’s Casablanca Records that year and by the mid-1970s had become one of the world’s biggest bands, their fantastical imagery, eye-popping concerts and basic but driving rock music capturing the imaginations of millions of teenagers. While the original lineup featured lead guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss (the latter of whom co-wrote and sang “Beth,” a 1976 ballad uncharacteristic of the band that became their biggest hit), the pair left the group in the early 1980s. Simmons and Stanley were always the principals and have continued to work over the ensuing decades with hired musicians. Kiss’ greatest influence on entertainment arguably has been in imagery and performance (as well as marketing acumen) and Pophouse’s plans for its acquisitions reflect that.
Per Sundin said of the deal, “Kiss has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and has throughout their 50-year career continued to push the boundaries in popular culture. The band’s enigmatic personas, unparalleled band attributes, and iconic imagery have made them a cultural force and a legendary act with multigenerational appeal.
“We will safeguard and enrich this legacy through future global endeavors, by breathing new life into their characters and personas while also leveraging and elevating the visual world of KISS.”

Since KISS barely have any real hits and no one knows their songs for the most part - the 300M is mostly for branding and merchandising over the music. Take that away and the music is worth FAR less.

Paul & Gene will see some of that but not majority as they sold away the rights in late 1980s, Now the company can make merchandise etc & make cash but I think paying 300 Million was a mistake, Most KISS die hard's will be dead in next 20/25 years and the following will die down, Its not like THE BEATLES or even ELVIS (Which Elvis has declined in past 5 years I've noticed, I love ELVIS btw). And PAUL/GENE will have no say on what gets put out, they might give some insight or pointers but maybe now some Official FOOTAGE will finally get released, like how hard is it to put out a fucking DVD/BLU-RAY? KISSOLOGY 4 was scheduled for 2011 release then delayed, well that was 13 years ago.

If there's one thing Gene Simmons isn't afraid of, it's making bold business moves.
When the news was announced on Thursday, April 4 that Pophouse, a Swedish entertainment group, has purchased the entire KISS music catalog, likeness and brand name, Simmons tells PEOPLE it felt like the "natural thing" to do, even though he maintains that the band "weren't looking for it" initially.
"Life happens while you're busy making important plans," the legendary rocker says. "We were planning our respectful, proud walking off into the sunset, because we've been touring, we had been touring for half a century." But Simmons "didn't want to" go the route of continually touring until they physically couldn't anymore.
"I don't want to go out there with my walker," he jokingly adds.
Upon meeting the team at Pophouse, the band and them "broke bread, talked about our families and we got to be friends." As a result, Pophouse acquired the entirety of the KISS brand for an undisclosed sum, per the company's press release.
Pophouse Entertainment Group is the brainchild of Swedish billionaire Conni Jonsson and ABBA member Björn Ulvaeus, who began the company together in 2014 and have acquired the catalogs of Cyndi Lauper, Avicii and Swedish House Mafia, among other stars, in the time since. The company is also responsible for the ABBA Voyage digital concert currently running in London, of which Simmons notes, "If you haven't seen it, you'll be amazed."
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member adds, "We've all seen boxers and artists who will stay in the ring too long and get knocked out by some amateur. You don't want to do that, you want to go out on top. And we did it the right way, out of respect and love for the fans."
Simmons reflects on "the end of KISS," calling it "a proud moment," while maintaining that under new direction from Pophouse, "the beginning of KISS is going to be something that will blow your socks off, like nothing you've ever not seen."
"If you take a look at Mother Nature, you either evolve or you become extinct," he reflects on the change in ownership after decades at the helm of KISS.
All-in-all, Simmons maintains that financial gain is "not what [the sale is] about. It's about enjoying life," while adding, "I'm certainly blessed."
With the deal for KISS's catalog finalized, Simmons is focusing on his upcoming tour with the Gene Simmons Band, his combination restaurant-bar-concert venue Rock & Brews and his partnership with ilani Casino, which he calls "terrific, amazing people" to work with.
"Rock & Brews is a proud achievement," he says, "It's an experience from the time you walk in."

KISSOLOGY 4 was scheduled for 2011 release then delayed, well that was 13 years ago. Owning KISS is not as profitable as some would have you believe, which is why I always laughed at people who would claim that Disney or Warner Bros would be interested in KISS. The music has very little value compared to other bands who actually have huge hits. KISS does not. Now sure the branding and merch is valuable, but the people who would be interested in that are mostly in their 50's and 60's+ and on their way out. Young people do not give a fuck about KISS, so they will not keep the money flowing in to Pophouse for decades to come, especially if the focus is on the Kold Gin version of the band. No one wants KISS movies and animated shows either. Never mind the avatar bullshit. This really isn't a great business decision if you really think about it and you don't buy into the Paul and Gene hype, but hey it is not my money. |

Ya they could have bought the entire WINCHELLS/KRISPY KREME franchises outright andf atleast theyd make their money back. I'm working on getting a Passport. Its gonna take some time and money but I want to go in USA and check out the cool restaurants/stores etc etc. You guys are lucky |

300 million wow. So how much do Paul and Gene's net worth go up after this deal?
Hey man...Kiss has more than enough well known hits. At least here in the States people know more KISS songs than Abba songs.
Most people dont know much Black Sabbath tracks but they are still iconic.

The vast majority of people couldn't name 5 KISS songs with a gun to their head with the 20 albums they have released. Rock and Roll All Nite, I Was Made - they would be struggling after that and might come up with one more song like Detroit Rock City or Beth. Do you think they are going to mention Forever or Love Gun or Lick It Up? You are in a bubble of KISS fans and think the outside world is the same. Abba songs are far more known and are the soundtrack to many people's lives. |

If Kissology 4 is/was what it was supposed to be and picks up after the reunion, I dont know why anyone gives a shit. They released a couple/few Kold Gin dvds and there's shit from that lineup all over YouTube. Who needs more of it? |

I don’t know a single person who even know an ABBA song. I mentioned ABBA to some people I was hanging out with Friday night and not one person knew who they were. These people are my age and didn’t know. I don’t believe ABBA is as popular as people think they are, at least not around these parts. |

Maybe not "rockers" though and I am sure it depends on area. Abba is HUGE in the world though overall and their greatest hits alone has sold 30M copies and they have sold 400 million copies worldwide overall. It's not even close. It's like comparing KISS with The Beatles. |

Gene Simmons (ya, I know - I just love it) 8. The Elder (ya, I know there too) 9. Lick It Up 10. Revenge 11. Rock And Roll Over 12. DTK 13. KISS 14. Unmasked 15. Paul Stanley 16. Love Gun 17. Dynasty 18. Psycho Circus (really for Within and Journey only, which I love) 19. Crazy Nights 20. Animalize 21. Carnival 22. Asylum 23. Hot In The Shade 24. Sonic Boom 25. Monster 26. Peter Criss I like Russian Roulette and Animal on SB. Wall Of Sound and Long Way Down on Monster. Feel free to keep the questions coming. |

Crazy Nights is mostly garbage, but I love Thief In The Night. Should have been on Creatures since it existed back then over I Still Love You. |
