Gene Simmons Expands 2026 Solo Tour With New West Coast Shows
Gene Simmons has added a few more dates to his summer itinerary with a handful of solo performances on the West Coast. The former KISS bassist announced a three-day run in July between California and Nevada, featuring support from Sebastian Bach, Lita Ford, and Quiet Riot.
Always an entrepreneur, Simmons will also be offering the Gene Simmons Bass Experience and Ultimate Gene Simmons Experience packages for the run. The Bass Experience gets you a signed and personalized bass from him – $6,500 for a non-stage played axe and $12,500 for a stage-played one. The Ultimate package, which costs $12,495, makes you Gene Simmons’ personal assistant and band roadie for the day. Participants will help load in and set up for the show, sit in on sound check, and receive a rehearsal-used bass.
Check out Simmons’ solo band in this fan-shot video of their performance at Love & Ride 34 in November.
