Gene Simmons has announced his first solo concert dates for 2027. The Kiss bassist and vocalist is set to return to stages across the United States with the Gene Simmons Band, with seven shows currently listed between January and July.
The run begins on January 30 at Ferg’s Pavilion in St. Petersburg, Florida, and continues through Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, California, Illinois and Michigan. The announced dates include casino performances, theatre shows and an outdoor appearance at the Fall Music Classic in Utica.
Simmons has continued performing with his own band since Kiss concluded its farewell tour in December 2023. Unlike the elaborate production associated with Kiss, his solo shows dispense with the trademark makeup, costumes and pyrotechnics, instead focusing on a more informal set of band classics, deeper cuts and occasional covers.
January 30 – St. Petersburg, FL – Ferg’s Pavilion
March 12 – Pittsburgh, PA – Rivers Casino
March 13 – Lincoln, RI – Bally’s Twin River Casino
March 27 – Cabazon, CA – Morongo Casino Resort & Spa
April 16 – St. Charles, IL – Arcada Theatre
April 17 – Moline area, IL – The Rust Belt
July 24 – Utica, MI – Fall Music Classic at UWM Field
Before the new year, Simmons also has further North American solo dates scheduled for late November and December. In addition, he is due to reunite with his Kiss bandmates at the Kiss Kruise event in Las Vegas from November 13 to 15, 2026.
The Las Vegas weekend is set to include two performances without the band’s signature makeup: one acoustic and one electric. The programme also features a tribute to late founding guitarist Ace Frehley, alongside appearances by Bruce Kulick, Night Ranger, Slaughter and other acts.
