Gene Simmons Extends 2025 Solo Band Tour

Gene
Simmons
has
added
more
shows
to
his
2025
solo
band
tour.

The

Kiss
rocker
initially
began
unveiling
dates
at
the
end
of
2024.
He’s
steadily
added
to
his
schedule
since
then,
and
what
began
as
a
spattering
of
appearances
is
now
a
25-date
tour.
The
trek
kicks
off
April
3
in
Anaheim,
California
and
now
runs
through
the
end
of
May,
culminating
with
a
performance
in
Houston.

Simmons’
solo
band
features
a
collection
of
rock
veterans,
including
guitarist
Brent
Woods
(Sebastian
Bach,
Vince
Neil),
guitarist
Jason
Walker
and
drummer
Brian
Tichy
(Whitesnake,
Billy
Idol).

While
Simmons’
solo
band
shows
still
lean
heavily
into
the
Kiss
catalog,
they
are
a
far
cry
from
the
theatrical
nature
of
the
bassist’s
makeup-clad
group.
In
an
appearance
on
the

Steve-O’s
Wild
Ride
podcast,
Simmons
noted
that
his
solo
shows
also
offer
a
financial
windfall.

“I
designed
a
business
model
that
is
just
semi-genius.
I
show
up
with
my
guitar
pick.
That’s
it.
There’s
no
manager,
no
roadies,
no
trucks,
no
equipment.
Everything
is
provided
by
the
promoter,”
the
rocker
explained.
“The
flights,
the
hotels,
all
the
amplifiers,
the
drums,
everything
is
rented
locally.
That’s
the
promoter’s
cost,
and
whatever
six-figure
or
more
amount
there
is,
I
pocket.
And
I
literally
make
more
money
per
gig
being
Gene
Simmons
and
the
Gene
Simmons
Band
than
I
did
in
Kiss
—
not
counting
the
ancillaries
and
all
that
—
because
you
don’t
have
a
60-man
crew,
three
double
deckers,
private
jet
that’s
on
call
seven
days
a
week
and
20
to
24
tractor
trailers.”
