Pophouse Buys Rights to KISS – Here’s What They Have Planned
The rights to KISS were purchased by Pophouse. The CEO and Gene Simmons on what's next.
Pophouse — the Swedish company that backed ABBA’s Voyage show in London and owns rights to music by Swedish House Mafia, Avicii and Cyndi Lauper — is acquiring KISS ’ publishing, recording royalties and trademarks, including both the band’s logo and its iconic makeup design. Over the course of the band’s End of the Road World Tour, the two sides met in Milan and Stockholm, thinking about what a hologram show could look like.
