The Montreal Canadiens are set to host a special “KISS Night” on Monday, March 3, 2025, during their game against the Buffalo Sabres at the Bell Centre.
This event marks a unique collaboration between the legendary rock band KISS and the Canadiens, celebrating the band’s enduring legacy in the world of rock and roll.
Exclusive Merchandise
In honor of this occasion, the Canadiens will unveil limited-edition, officially licensed KISS x Canadiens merchandise. The collection includes a T-shirt, hoodie, and commemorative puck, all featuring designs by local artist Jonathan Bergeron, also known as Johnny Crap. Bergeron has an impressive portfolio, having created artwork for renowned bands such as Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, and Anthrax.
Live Entertainment
Fans attending the game will be treated to live performances by Quebec-based tribute band KISSED during both intermissions. Active since 2008, KISSED has toured extensively throughout the northeast, delivering authentic renditions of KISS’s iconic hits.
Themed Concessions
The Bell Centre will offer special concessions tailored for the event. Attendees can enjoy a “Rock and Roll All Nite” cocktail and visit the “Hotter than Hell” chicken wing pop-up stand, featuring locally produced hot sauces by La Pimenterie.
Fan Participation and Prizes
Commemorating the 50th anniversary of KISS’s “Dressed to Kill” album, fans are encouraged to attend the game in full KISS attire. Those who do will have the opportunity to win official prize packages provided by the band. Additionally, a makeup station will be available on the main concourse, offering free KISS-inspired face painting for interested attendees.
Special Appearances
Given that the game falls on a Monday, the Canadiens’ retired mascot, METAL!, will make a special appearance. METAL! retired in 2023, returned, and retired again in 2024, making his presence a rare treat for fans. Accompanying him will be DFA Tattoos, offering free, authentic tattoos in-arena throughout the game, with the KISS logo added to their repertoire for the evening.
KISS’s Legacy in Montreal
Over their illustrious career spanning six decades, KISS performed in Montreal 16 times. Their first performance was on April 21, 1976, at the Forum, and their final show in the city took place on November 18, 2023, at the Bell Centre—a sold-out event during the concluding weeks of their “End of the Road” world tour. KISS formally retired from touring in December 2023, but their music and legacy continue to resonate, with over 100 million albums sold and an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Tickets for the March 3 game are available for purchase, with prices starting at $68.00. Fans interested in attending can find more information and secure their seats through various ticketing platforms. citeturn0search8
