During a conversation with “Behind The Setlist” podcast, Kiss’ Paul Stanley talked about the band’s decision to sell its entire music catalog to Swedish company Pophouse Entertainment, which is behind “ABBA Voyage”:

“The Pophouse deal is revolutionary, but it’s also really in keeping with the band. The idea of us selling publishing or anything like that was never on our radar. What we wanted to do, if anything, was find some partners who understood the scope and the magnitude of not only the music over the decades, but the characters, the personas that we created and that they have intrinsic value.

“Pophouse had done a great job with the ABBA show that runs outside of London and is sold out for three years and it’s really terrific, terrific entertainment. People just are thrilled with it. I took my wife last month, and I had seen it last year. So Pophouse understood what we wanted to do and that what we wanna create is something that’s state of the art today.

”Now, mind you that the ABBA show is an older technology because technology moves ahead at an exponential rate. So by the time that show started to be presented, there was new technology.” […]

Asked about the Kiss avatar show that will launch in 2027 in Las Vegas, Paul Stanley said:

 “What I can tell you is that the technology that’s being used, which is a furthering of the technology used on the ABBA show, has to be installed and basically a building has to be built around it. So this isn’t something where you’re in Kansas City today, and tomorrow you fly with your projector to do it. It demands an arena, so to speak that’s really solely used for a show like this. But it’s not something that can play on Wednesdays and Thursdays or Saturdays and Sundays, and then something else is in there during the week. […]

“Well, really with Pophouse, what we’re doing is focusing on this show. That’s really the main focus. Obviously, be it the music or the personas and all that goes along with Kiss, that’s been there all along will continue and expand. I think at this point there’s a lot more understanding of the possibilities, and there are people coming to the table, so to speak, who perhaps for a while saw a rock band in make-up, and clearly it’s turning into so much more than that.”
