Kiss Sells Catalog, Name, Likeness and More to Pophouse Entertainment for $300 Million


Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Kiss have sold their music catalog, IP and more — including their makeup designs — to Pophouse for $300 million-plus.

“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. “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.”
