Gene Simmons is expanding his 2026 solo touring schedule with a fresh run of U.S. summer dates, bringing along a lineup packed with iconic names from the ’80s hard rock scene.
KISS co-leader will hit the road in July for a three-show stretch across California and Nevada. The run kicks off on July 17 in Fresno, California, followed by a stop in Murphys on July 18, before wrapping up on July 19 in Stateline, Nevada.
Tickets for all three newly announced concerts are available now.
These shows add to an already busy 2026 schedule for Simmons, who has continued to mix solo appearances with select live events at casinos and special cruise performances. His most recent live run earlier this year included stops at casino venues and an appearance on the Rock Legends Cruise.
One notable moment from his February performance at L’Auberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana, saw Simmons revisit two songs tied to the legacy of late KISS guitarist Ace Frehley—“Strange Ways” and “Rocket Ride”—which he performed with his solo band for the first time.
