Gene Simmons’ upcoming solo tour with his band will feature KISS favorites and songs never played live by KISS.
In a video message on X, the bassist wrote, “Hey everybody, it’s Gene Simmons. Couldn’t wait to tell you this but we got everything lined up. We’re gonna go out there and play for you. The Gene Simmons band touring North America for thirty maybe forty cities. We’re adding them as we go along.”
Simmons also shared details about the setlist saying, “Now, what can you expect? Well, we’re going to be doing our favorite KISS tunes, yours, but that ain’t all. Check. Are we going to do songs that KISS has never done before live? Check. You bet you. Are we going to record some songs that have actually never been recorded by KISS? Yup. We’re also going to be doing some cool covers that I’ve always wanted to do, and you never know what they’re going to be.”
He then encouraged fans to be part of the experience explaining, “The other thing is we want you to join the fun. Yeah, you. Over there. Can you sing a little bit? You don’t have to be Pavarotti. Can you play a little guitar? Can you beat on the drums? You don’t have to be an expert. You never know, we may pull you up on stage with us.”
The tour will kick off on April 3 in Anaheim, California, and run through the end of May 2025.
