Gene Simmons with Gibson G2 Thunderbird Bass

KISS bassist Gene Simmons is getting ready to hit the road on a solo band tour this spring. After announcing the tour in December, he added an extra handful of dates to the itinerary.

The 19-date tour will begin April 3rd at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California, followed by two shows before jumping to the East Coast. Simmons will take his band from Florida to Niagara Falls, Ontario, before doubling down to finish up with a trio of dates in Texas.

Simmons will be joined by guitarists Brent Woods and Jason Walker and drummer Brian Tichy. The bassist announced his new dates in a post on X, where he also asked fans what songs they wanted to hear.
